8:57 am - Finding humor and life lessons in the minutiae.
|
"Hi.
Sadly Simply as that.
My husband died not long ago and I loved him so much....is there anyone with the same experience or someone who is beyonde "daily based life crap"?
I obviously am not looking for serious relation ship.....just talk, and i see.
So that makes me 27 years old widow.
I know this is not very attractive add but thats the reality...
Will appreciate smart! ,witty,interesting person without expectations.
I do not like lazy people who are full of shit and talk to much without a point,are submissive and arogant and dont (want)know how to deal with the real life,i am not looking for you who are married and want to have affair.. i just have no time deal with this right now.
I am not looking for psychotherapy or someone telling me what to do,i am ok!
b
PS:Pardon my spelling,i am wasnt born like english speaker."
____________________________________________
This was posted on Craig's List a little while ago in the "Missed Connection" area (which I read religiously -- it's the best free laugh going). I was fascinated by this post -- so much so that I kept it.
I wonder about this woman who wasn't born like an English speaker. She seems angry in her bereavement -- she has so many dislikes. I am particularly interested in the fact that she doesn't like people who are submissive and arrogant. That is an interesting combination -- imagine for a moment someone who submits, but is arrogant about the fact that they are submitting. These are interesting combinations of personality traits that she finds annoying -- submissive/arrogant... lazy/talkative/full of sh*t. Will she like me if I am talkative and full of sh*t... yet very, very productive?
And I'm not exactly sure what she is looking for... She definitely does not want to have an affair with a married man, that's for sure. And she doesn't want a serious ship of relation. I'm not sure what "daily-based-life-crap" is, but she doesn't want that either. She does want someone who is smart (oops! That's smart! with a bang.) witty, interesting and who has very low expectations. But doesn't everyone want that? What she really wants is summed up in one simple phrase:
Just talk and I see.
Just talk and she sees... this woman is so far beyond me, I can't even fathom it. All she needs is to hear him talk -- and she sees! She sees whether or not it could work. She sees whether or not she ever wants to go beyond the daily based life crap with him. She sees whether or not they are slothful, idiotic motormouths who are subservient and haughty.
She just doesn't have time to deal with this right now.
Just talk and she sees.
Fascinating.
But I am disturbed by the subtle message that she feels that she isn't good enough... "27 and a widow -- not a very attractive picture" she says. But why? Why is it not attractive? Isn't that more attractive, then, say, 81 and a widow? Or 27, single, and with a horrific case of adult acne? I don't understand why being a widow is unattractive... unless, of course, she murdered her husband.
Actually, she never does mention how her husband died -- just that he is no longer with us.
But she states emphatically that she does not need psychotherapy or someone telling her what to do.
She is OK.
She just doesn't have time to deal with this right now.
Just talk and she sees.
But for the love of God, don't order her around all submissive-like.
She doesn't like that.

11:41 am - Is it OK for me to hate my job?
|
I mean, I *was* unemployed for FAR, FAR too long. So is it OK for me to hate the job that I have? I like the paycheck. And I like the fact that I work with a good friend of mine... but the job itself pretty much sucks ass. I just had to ask for the umpteenth time for a job description, because it seems like everyone else is doing the stuff that I think I'm supposed to be doing. Which, frankly, would be fine by me (hey... getting a paycheck while someone else does all the work ain't that bad of a deal) except I'm one of those people who actually LIKES to do stuff. Meaningful stuff. Stuff that people find useful.
So yeah. Here I am trolling Monster again, hoping against hope that there is some job out there that I will actually be happy doing. Is that just a pipe dream (and gee, do you think that the phrase "pipe dream" comes from hash? Or do you think it comes from opium? Hmmm.)? Seriously. Am I high to think that there is a job/company out there that won't make me want to take these dull, company issued scissors and stab them repeatedly into my sullen co-workers' useless requests? (HA! You totally thought I was going to say that I wanted to stab my co-workers! Nope. Just their useless requests.* I'm not going to give the jury a statement like that for their evidence-perusing pleasure.
Moving on.
I'm going to go forage in the pantry for lunch. Yes, we have a pantry here at work... everyone else calls it a kitchen -- but as there is no stove or sink, it seems more like a pantry to me. Y'see, it's things like calling the kitchen a pantry that make me who I am. A throroughly dislikable co-worker.
Skoal.
* Since most requests come over email, I guess that would have me jamming the scissors into my monitor. I probably won't do that, though -- I'm pretty sure they'd fire me after ruining the third monitor or so.

10:55 am - Oh what a tangled web we weave...
|
...when first we create a web journal. Or something like that. So yeah... here I am, starting my journal. Worship the journal. Is it not nifty?
Greeeat. So far I've cribbed from a couple different places -- can I say nothing inventive? Ahhh well -- I can always fall back on "Bad poets borrow; Good poets steal." 'Course, to say that, I am cribbing yet again.
Moving on.
I'm guessing that the only people who will be reading this will know me and will forgive the spasticniferousness of my first post. I may just leave this first post as-is and get it over with, and then later I can come back and really get into the journalling thing.
Yup. That's the plan, Stan.
Slainte.
