"800,000 doses of children's swine flu vaccine recalled; potency dipped below required levels"
Yeah, I am whole-heartedly a skeptic.
Let's see...what else can I tell you about my life? I've decided to go ahead and do the interview with the blue hair...IF I get the job, I can change it. Thank you Remmy and Sterling-Sir for talking me through that decision!
Resume is revised. It's the same resume that won me the last two jobs I held, with a couple of minor updates, so it will be fine. If they don't like it, *shrug*
I have decided on what Christmas cookies I'm PLANNING to make...now I just have to find the time to do it (um, yeah, right!).
I owe Beloved a story. In our poly-relationship, "cheating" is when you do something that you aren't comfortable telling the other person about. I cheated over the summer, and he found out about it and he wants me to tell him the whole situation. *winces* This has me flip-flopping and in a state of self-loathing. I told him that I can't get anything right, and he very calmly, very lovingly told me to replace "anything" with "everything".
I can't get everything right.
Sometimes I cannot comprehend his love and patience with me, which, perversely, makes me feel worse. *sigh* Some time this week, I will be writing.
*wry smile* Yes, I realize I kinda buried that little confession. *sigh* I'm not proud of myself at the moment...
Sometimes when we are angry and upset, we use vocabulary that is is more emotive, but is not neccessarily the truth.
ReplyDeleteBeloved correcting you on your choice of the word "anything" is a good example of this. The wifey likes to tell me that, whenever you find yourself in a heated argument, words such as "always" and "never" should be used with great caution. They are both absolutes, and such accusations are rarely accurate.
The choice of language is important. Beloved was reminding you that although may get some things wrong, or fail in others, there are many things you do right.
I know I am one of those people who let my few failures overshadow my many accomplishments. I have to learn that it's okay to make mistakes.
