1. the shins, caring is creepy is my new favorite song of the moment.
2. my stomach is all sorts of hungry which is a good thing because last night it wasn’t doing so well after having lunch at the local perkins.
3. i am in serious need of a vacation and/or a good bender and/or a good roll in the hay.
4. i have such a craving for the refreshing taste of diet coke with lime that i think i might need to join some sort of support group.
5. if there were a five, well you’d all be shocked.
6. the hot guy from r&d just walked by, he is wearing yellow and looks rather yummy.
7. the webboy laughs everytime i say someone is yummy.
8. my work life would probably go a little bit better if i could just compromise my own feelings and treat THAT WOMAN like she were my BFF. but for the life of me, i cannot. i just cannot act like everything is normal after she’s been such an intolerable bitch for the past three months, after she’s treated all my friends so poorly, after she cornered jess and begged jess to help her make me like her. i just cannot seem to forget that and just be all chummy, chummy, though i know that would probably make everything a lot easier on everyone. and i can’t tell if that just makes me too stubborn for words or if maybe i’m just being true to myself. and mostly i just wonder where it says that i have to be the one to make sure THAT WOMAN is happy and secure at work. am i just too cruel and bitchy for words?
a list before lunch

How are you supposed to set aside feelings and impressions gained through observation and experience? It makes no sense.
Now. As an adult, you CAN put a polite and tolerant face on your dealings with her, and be cooly cordial to her, even pleasant. There’s the small posibility she’ll turn out to be at least interesting once you get to know something else about her.
I found out I was wrong about someone not terribly long ago. Of course it was a snap judgement and not one I got from observation. I’m glad he proved me wrong.
i am pleasant to her, i’m never rude. i just choose not to go out to lunch with her which is what makes me a bad, bad, bad person. i do know her, i’ve worked with her for the past 3 years, it’s BRUTAL.
As THAT WOMAN, I have to interject and say that I have been Jodi’s friend and a huge supporter of her work and writing for well over a year. About 3 months ago Jodi started getting very bitchy and short with me, cutting me out of projects and generally treating me very badly. Finally she does not speak to me at all. I have no idea what this is about. I’ve tried to approach her, but she won’t talk to me. Leaving work one day, I asked Jess if she knew what was up.
Jodi, you are not responsible for MY happiness and security, but you are responsible for YOUR actions. I think you have something going around your head about me — I’d like to know what it is, because your behavior doesn’t make any sense now. I can’t think of anything that happened between us that caused this tension. I think the not-talking has made things worse. Please, let’s have lunch and get this straightened out.
PS — If that’s your version of pleasant, rude probably involves weapons.
w00t! Girl Fight!
you wish!
