Rants far and wide

And if you ever wanted a better demonstration of the dangers of termless offices, geez. I assume we're happy to leave this bull parked in our china shop?

Why is it that... when I need sleep, I can't sleep. And when I need to be awake, I always keep falling asleep.

Meanwhile the dog is snoring up a storm. Go figure.

Was I just being ignored the first time around? It takes someone higher up to be offended before anyone will start listening. Perhaps I should have been offensive the first time.

I somehow can't bring myself to be satisfied with my IP entries, which stresses me out a little, POM is really a challenge for me. But I will push on!

Common Courtesy.

When you say you are going to do something. I expect you to do it. I am a mom of two daughters, and when 90% of there friends comes from your houshold, I doubly expect you to hold to your word. Not for my sake....but for there's.

Now look. I totally get and understand that life comes up. I know that plans change and things happen that can prevent one's word from being followed through on.

But give me the common courtesy of Saying so!!!!

Seriously! In today's world it takes 2 seconds to type "Im so sorry but things came up!! I'll contact you later to make other plans."

Thats it. Just that. That is all it takes.

It is not my job to go hunting you down and nagging every hour to see if you will go back on your word or not. It is not my job to check up on you and make sure you be responsible. And you certainly don't have any right to get pissy when I politely request and remind you to be courteous with such things. Its not fair to me and its not fair to my little girls who has to learn the difference between people who lie and people who lacks common manners.

Trust me. I hate answering my daughters questions when she asks "Why does he lie? He said he was coming and then didnt." breaks my heart to have to teach her these lessons so young in life because you. An Adult. Can't get your S**** together.

This place has made me feel like absolute crap a lot of times before, but I don't think I've ever felt as outright unwelcome here as I do right now.

I wish there were more positive news in the media.

I'm tired of being the bad guy when you yourself said I had a "heart of gold". What I ask is simple, easy even. Takes maybe two minutes of your precious time. You could make all the time in the world for him when you were mine, and now that your his you pass me by the wayside... again... and again.... and again. ughhhhhhhh

There are days where I wish we had wider international representation here, as the overwhelming Americanism of some of the discussion makes it feel like I can't just have a conversation as I would with friends from anywhere else in the world. I wish you guys could see, instead us international members persevere in trying to demonstrate it doesn't have to be how you have been taught to see it. But much as I love you and much as I am surprising myself with my patience... it is wearying.

It's an international Temple. But the reality is its nationality is so ingrained it's not clear to most how these are even international issues. Sigh. As I say... I wish I had way to show you.

Still. Onwards.

Rants are just rats to the nth degree

Get it, get, a math joke!! Maybe, I don't do math tho.
