Am I the only person who is tempted to type "You're It!" into the tags box?
Maybe I should play with this thing. I am very bored, what with Elizabeth not showing up today and it being my late night to work. Gah. I am tired of this late duty work crap - it is supposed to end next month. This will be nice as I am the person who has to make up the schedule and as such I have discovered the easiest way not to have to put up with people bitching about the schedule you make (and these people will, believe you me. They are Olympic Gold Medalists in the Art of Bitching) is to just give yourself the majority of crap assignments. They want to argue unfairness or bias? It is easy to prove them totally wrong when you can point at what you scheduled for yourself versus them. It is a petty satisfaction but one I enjoy mightily. Damn martyr complex. One of these days I really will fold up my cross for storage. I think. I wonder what life would be like then?
Of course a true martyr wouldn't be interested in the petty satisfaction part? Or would they? That would be interesting, I think, if it turned out that some great big self-sacrifice turned out to be less motivated by pure and complete altruism and love of Man and more by an extreme passive aggressive desire to be all "SEE!*SEE* what I put up with?!" Like a biblicalish "you'll all be sorry when I am DEAD" type tantrum.
I think I will take mely's advice and at least tag all of the latest "Elizabeth" posts so that the insanity can be easily traced. For posterity. And the children. And puppies.
Man - am I totally being Passive-Aggressive with this schedule? I didn't think so at first. At first I was just doing it so I didn't have to hear anyone complain. Because it was worth it to me to take the most assignments or the worst days just for blessed silence.
But now that I know that there is also Petty Satisfaction in that - well, maybe I need to rethink this.
Or eat something. Or shut up. Or take a vacation. I should do that. Or shut up.
sdwolfpup is it wrong that I want to go somewhere with all of your "Sweet Valley High" books and a big huge blanket and not talk to anyone for 2 weeks? Unless it is so that they will bring me apple juice.

Date: 2005-06-16 09:21 pm (UTC)I do this all the time. And it's petty, but it's pettiness out of protection of my own sanity. "I will take on this horrible assignment so that when you complain about yours (because they will, even if the assignment is to go play with puppies during lunch, they'll complain about grass stains or getting scratched or something), I have a much worse assignment so STFU!"

Only if you don't let me keep the summer vacation bike ride one.
