Accidental illusion

Oh. My. God.

For those of you that thought I was so insanely self-confident that I could run around Nation last thursday with a super-tight black tank top on that said SPEEDO across the middle of the back...I had NO FUCKING IDEA it said speedo. I'm so embarrassed now, good god. SPEEDO.

Next week, SPEEDO briefs. Really.

A piece of advice for social ladder climbers: quit. Just stop it.

I’m currently listening to two managers talk about a woman in our office who trashes everyone. They are noting her many problems with many people, and how her scooting around and complaining behind people’s back is so immature compared to addressing issues like an adult. She’s trying to gain status by attacking people, instead of actually doing something about her situation. I’ve seen this so many times that I’ve come to recognize the behavior as a sad pattern.

If people are going to like or respect you, it’s going to be based on something about you. Something you do, something you know, something about you will or will not make people like you or your work. If all you can do is tear stuff down, you’re just showing that you can’t build anything.

Attacking someone, making fun, criticizing…any of those things in an effort to elevate yourself WILL fail. It is possible to drag someone down or hurt them, but it never elevates the accuser to do so, and more often than not drags them down as well. If it’s done multiple times, it is very obvious what is going on, and the accuser looks like dirt.

Well my real estate guy just left, and I have just ratified yet another contract at full price on house #2! The cash down was 20%, and they put up 5 grand just for earnest money, so it looks rock solid. This could be a good thing!

Odd trivia - I'll benefit from the republican idiocy that I oppose of lowering the capital gains tax which I'll be paying on this sale. I still oppose it because it's bad for the country, even if it is good for me.
