Three things before work

[constance]

1. Why do people persist in seeing "Born in the U.S.A." as an Anthem to America? People. Read the lyrics. It is not a friendly song. "Born in the U.S.A." does not like America very much. "Born in the U.S.A." would really kind of like to kick America's ass. No, really.

2. I am embarrassingly thrilled that Ice Cube is going to be the new XXX. It's not that I liked the first one--in fact, it's one of the few movies I've ever fallen asleep in. It's just that no matter how much his movies suck, I just really like Ice Cube. A lot. I have no excuse for this.

3. If you want me to feel sorry for you when you lose your keys, it is probably best that you don't spend the entire morning locked in the bathroom with dry heaves and then admit that they were lost in a really spectacular drinking binge; and this will be especially true if you are my age. I'm just saying. It will be hard for me.

If you want me to feel sorry for you when you lose your keys... Sounds like there's a good story behind that. What's wrong with drinking binges at our age?

Oh, man, is there a story. This office I am in this week, this office, this office. It is just unbelieveable. I will be sharing another part of this office story sometime soon, though just at this moment it is a little raw. I am still processing.

And there is nothing wrong with the drinking binges, though any drinking binge that keeps you dry-heaving around the clock is probably inadvisable. It is just that you shouldn't have them and then say to me, "I am the unluckiest person in the world!" As if it were forces of nature inexplicably conspiring to get your keys lost for you.

Dry heaving round the clock? That does not sound healthy. I will take your word that this person deserves censure. You must also tell me about the office. It is good to vent about work politics. (As long as it does not get you sacked. I note your post isn't locked.)
