good point, ht.
it's actually being posted, piecemeal, here. so until i tell ya otherwise, there's no need.
it's actually terribly embarassing because the number of little mistakes multiplied by many when the whole thing DID melt a few months back and had to be repaired from bits and pieces.
i've been to lazy to go through a book's worth of text to fix it.
also, as i'm posting stuff on the arafat thread, i'm clarifying and translating a decent amount....
besides that it has bad poetry.

Fuck: December 7: Mercury Conjunct Pluto
Every single word you exchange -- with anyone, from friends,
to strangers, to outright adversaries -- will be extremely
potent, and carry long-lasting effects, too. Mercury, the
ruler of conversations, will butt heads with intense,
penetrating Pluto. Picture a scientist, or a private
investigator. That's the type of mental determination you'll
have when it comes to getting your point across. You won't
be alone with that attitude, however, which means this could
be one of those days that are quite tricky to navigate. Here's
a tip, though: Don't say anything you don't really mean, don't
make promises you won't want to keep, and avoid anyone who's
known for being emotionally volatile.

Yes, and, re-read and double check all communications. Try to be nice and not get too frustrated. Read the fine print. Jump through an extra 20 hoops, even though you were told you'd already jumped through them all (that's my day). And back up your computer and savesavesave, RJ, because computers and electronic things like to break down sometimes. This started late November (like when you lost your website).
Bummer on your bro stu, but what a great connection to NZ! If I were to ever move anywhere else but BC, NZ is the top of the list. I was almost born there: my folks were living there for a couple years and came back to Canada 8 months pregnant.

fucking fucktard assholes here!
to paraphrase:
dear rian. i'm not gonna read your email cause i'm a prick. don't write me unless you have the information i asked for (which was included in your reply). Just to make you look bad, i will send your email to your boss so that she can see that you aren't simply bowing to me. Please kiss my feet every time you see me. I'm an arrogant prick. wah wah, the world isn't the way i want it, i'm mad because you all aren't my servants.
sometimes i hate engineers. sorry, CWL.
*shrug*

the best part is that the only person currently in the office who has "power over me" is female.... have occupied many minutes considering *what* i could plug into *where*.... heh hehDear *sigh*:
find someone who has power over you. sit on their desk. be as disgustingly provocative as possible. be sure that your 'come hither' look includes a flickering tongue.
when you get their pants off, see what happens when you try to plug their penis into the electrical socket.

Rian: Engineers are not humans, therefore the laws of murder don't apply, although the Fish and Game Department does have a stake in it. Make sure you have your license. Also, make sure you have tags. I don't know what the limit is on engineers in Washington (it's two in Oregon) and make sure that it is engineer season. Bagging them out of season carries a stiff fine.
Also, make sure that they are both dickless and spineless. Engineers with both dicks and spines are reserved for breeding (God knows why) and are protected under law. Female engineers are right out, as far as hunting goes.
It's good to thin the herd now and then, and this seems like the right time for this one. Be prepared, and good hunting!

ok. supervisor met with asshat in question for a looong time.
came and talked to me after. it amounts to this: everything he wants, say 'yes.' from what she didn't say, i believe she also thinks he's being as asshat. apparently he believes that the entire department is talking back to him. (doesn't that make you wonder if he's having an issue with perceptions??) So more meetings ensue. But i don't really know if she understands this or not - hence the problem with corporate life. I hope, from our conversation, that she understands that i was trying to be helpful. But i really can't tell.
He also, FYI, thought my email to him was 'talking back.' However, he stated to me that he didn't read it. So i'm not sure how he came to this conclusion. Especially since it was full of ideas of how to help him and make sure his needs were met.
The corporate world was designed for people who don't know how to communicate.
Or maybe that's just the engineering world.
Field trip to Nevada time....
I'm not sure if it's fucking good or not that this happened. It's the fucking straw-camel-back syndrome: just spend part of my break in tears and why? Over an asshat? Stupid. But i'm so fucking emotionally stressed right now i think it was what i needed. What, release emotions? Me? Never.

Yes... and it is designed for the domesticated/domestic tyrants that try to reshape the world around them into something civilized, or "More Civil". When they see a challenge to they, they wet their pants and start calling names. Unless this asshat is a supervisor in you division, he can kiss off.The corporate world was designed for people who don't know how to communicate.
The only way to make it in the Corporate world is to allow yourself to 'buy in' to the system, and part of that buy in package is to be neutered and docile. The Burning Man world is the antidote to the corporate world, and all you need to buy into that is a healthy mix of your own natural hormones and a refusal to bow down to anybody.
So... You Cute Little Fireball... which world are you a part of? I mean, learn (and I know you have) to play the corporate game, just don't buy into it. An asshat is an asshat, and there is a special place in Hell for for them (check Mr. Aligieri's chart... I think he put them next to lawyers). Next time you see him, imagine him with an ass, complete with deep cleft, planted firmly on top of his pointy little head...
It's what I do... of course, I do it in the mirror every morning... a little different
