What is on your mind

Folks who say they're 'true' this, or 'true' that. I don't understand, is everyone else therefore not 'true' or are they only 'true' when they fit into someone else's definition of 'true'?

I have a friend who calls herself a 'true' submissive
I have another friend who calls himself a 'true' christian.
Yet another friend says that they're a 'true' addict.
I've heard 'true' butch or femme labels bandied around over the years too.

Been thinking on this one periodically for years.

But when it comes time to test said product, before taking it live and sending it out to our clients for use, he wants to rush through it in less than a day and doesn't understand how incredibly important it is to go through a methodical and thorough test process to ensure our clients are charged the appropriate amount and that it functions as it should.

All this rushing through, despite the fact that we had serious issues with payments, refunds and balances on student accounts last year, despite the fact that his program ran a deficit because of his inability to communicate and his refusal to pay attention to small details like COSTS, and despite the fact that the only thing that saved his ass was my meticulous record keeping and basic accounting skills that enabled me to unravel most of the mysteries. (Me - his long term temp getting paid less than the grad students he hires to do data entry)

His motto and method are to forge forward foolhardily and deal with fuckups later ... mainly because he doesn't actually have to handle the fall out.



I require some

See that! This pisses me off! You need to be the one in charge there.
The world is mad. Shakin my head. I was thinking about a woman coworker, yesterday, that used to work for me and with me. A really reliable, smart woman. amaizing she was! and she would do something great and i would give her the kudos etc. and thank her etc. and she would say to me out loud and proud and i just loved it...( this was after she had done something wonderfully intelligent)
" balls said the queen if i had em i'd be king! "
Matter of fact I posted a Janis Joplin song thinking about her...I will go post
what she used to sing with me.
Cause she knew her worth and value. You know?
And let me add this, she didn't say that phrase cause she wanted balls and to be king
Far from it. This woman considered men the lesser ( in inteligence) of the human species.

It would be in your companies best interest to fire that dude and give you his position. Sorry for the rant but that stuff pisses me off! People should be reimbursed for their work...not their gender.

I pray that upper management wakes up and manages to implement that change for you!

I am thinking about tea! There are so many blends to try *sigh* Even looking at tea varieties helps to keep me calm. My teapot is eager for new steeping.

A very long to do list...

Jumping over hurdles...

Uncooperative kids...

[Anomaly]

I work tonight, and what's on my mind is being single and trying to date while working at the gay bar. It's a pretty small town. There's a men's leather bar, a dance club gay bar full of straight people, and a small town gay bar place where lesbians actually go, and that's where I work. I get hit on at work all the time. I mean, the boys don't really hire lesbians, so I got hired because they thought I was a cute straight girl, I'm guessing. Haha, worked there for years and years and a lot of girls still don't know I'm gay.
I was seeing a FTM for a little while, and she told me her whole clique "knows better" than to hit on me because they all thought I was straight, and I'm like, if I'm straight, and you're a guy, why did it take you so long to hit on me?
Idk, it is kinda confusing. Because I am kinda straight for women. Mostly when I get hit on, it's straight curious girls or girly girls or that kind of undeclared midwestern kind of woman who wears her hair long in the back like she's fooling the rest of her roofing crew. It's very rarely an out lesbian with that gorgeous masculine presentation I can't get enough of.
Sometimes it feels like the butch/femme dynamic is very misunderstood in a small town. Although the lesbians I've known forever, the ones who were out before GSA's and anti-bullying legislation, those couples are very apparantly butch/femme. All the real couples, the happy couples. But every day I work I have to explain to a feminine woman that I'm gay, but that doesn't mean I want to sleep with every woman or that I don't have a style preference beyond "female."
And I get teased a lot, by the guys mostly. I mostly hang out with gay guys. And they tease me because I only date fire fighters, lumberjacks, and journeymen with tattoos and craftswomen on motorcycles and bad girl criminals who look like really rough dudes. I think it would appease their asthetics to put me next to another hot chick, maybe a blonde or an Asian, something that would look good next to an Irish redhead, and then everything would look like a party / porno, but I'm just not into it.
So the last time I went to work, a straight girl flashed me, and the time before that, an older woman with a neon yellow mullet told me she's been trying to find me (I mean, nothing else happened. She found me and then didn't ask me on a date or anything).
One time a butch fire fighter reached over me to change a keg, carried that heavy sucker out of my way, then apologized and said she was sure I could handle it. Why can't THAT happen every night?
It's a fine balance to flirt with everyone and sleep with no-one, and I'm realizing more and more that it's irresponsible and unprofessional to meet women at my job... at the only lesbian bar in town.
And that's what's on my mind.

Little by little those to do lists will become accomplishments

Travel plans for my 4 day weekend...can't wait to hit the open road in the morning before the birds even start singing.

[girl_dee]

[TheMerryFairy]

I may need more tools.

I am also thinking that the wind is mighty bitter this evening!

[girl_dee]

Watching the old classics and realizing how completely sexist they are. Wow.

The silence. The chill in the air.

Quite a few things that have happened over the last week, maybe two. Just opening my mind up for a change...

[midwest chick]

I have a job that I love, but don't have health insurance....
Things have come up where I really need to get it soon...
Now I'm trying to find openings in areas I think might be interesting,
but it's mostly for the benefits...
I applied for 2 positions last night...
