I find your encounter with the big bad SUV immensely funny. Sorry to put a cottonball on your rage. Isn't it just great when your worst prejudgments about things are realized? You get a small dose of supremacy and you get to feed your own ambitions as a good reader of human nature. Hupp, I hope you understood that last sentence. I'm high on naproxen right now.

You can definitely work while I am visiting. Don't worry, I have the flute. Unfortunately...

I encourage you to put cotton balls on my rage. footnotefetish February 10 2006, 04:12:59 UTC
I wasn't really raging as much as smiling in amusement at the irony of the whole situation. It's almost as if, completely without planning it, I managed to tell someone what I thought of her opinion.

Your sentence made sense. Even when you're treating your back pain with heavy doses of painkillers, you're still coherent and intelligent.

speranzosa's comment reminded me that I never commented on your second paragraph. I think I would only have to work before you arrived. It wouldn't take me long to unpack those boxes. I have the organization of our file cabinets pretty well memorized.

But if you do want a break from me while you're here, I won't take it personally. It's your time, too--you should enjoy it however you want. You haven't had a chance to discover Tucson by yourself, which can sometimes be fun. Also, if you and speranzosa (or anyone else) want to hang out without me, that's cool. I'm easygoing like that.

Awesome cliffhanger!!! I had to click the link.
And I gotta say, it's alwasy great to see an intelligent person pissed off for the right reasons, rather than an idiot pissed off for something stupid. It just gives me hopes. Rage on, rebel. Haha.

Thanks! That was a weird combination of road rage and political discontent.

Heck, I've driven SUVs for work--whenever Enterprise has been out of the minivans we usually rent. I'll admit that they're fun to drive, but my conscience would never let me own one. If SUVs were only used for their purpose--i.e., as utility vehicles that are versatile on a variety of terrain--this country might be a better place to live.

It makes perfect sense that she drives a fucking SUV.

I wish I could have been there, too.

grrrr

I should have called you! You were probably working, though. I couldn't tell if she recognized me, but she looked irked that I was checking out her license plate. I just walked past her and avoided eye contact.

Either because you invaded "her private space" or her holy area or what the fuck ever.

Just thinking about that chick irks me.

You can always text or leave a voice mail. The warehouse is so loud that you can't hear the phone ring in my bag. So, no worries there.

Stupid chick. grrrrr

However, she helps me remember the Ottoman Empire and that makes me laugh.

Here's another way in which I defy Asian stereotypes: I have no clue how to text someone. That's one bit of technology I've never demystified. But maybe I'll make that a Tuesday Night Project one of these days.
