2547: Dreamtime
To make up for the answers to some of the last puzzles, here is a SILLY one XDWhere is Queen Nefertiti's temple?
--which reminds me ofWhere are doughnuts made?
Yesterday, I had gotten all set for bed, including having taken sleeping pills about this time, but it seems that every time I take a sleep aid, something external ends up keeping me awake =(
Like mag work ¬_¬ though, sort of, this time.
Slow learner that I am [I'm only "good" at riddles, because I've heard of/read so many], I've found that acting as someone's doormat will NOT gain respect, only tag a person as the subservient lackey one in so many [lack of] words professes to be. That is, by not regularly complaining about having to stay piss late after four or five[!!!] hours without break, I say that I like/don't mind the treatment. It's crap, and in recognition of this I'm likely just going to get worse as the days trudge on. [While we're not supposed to bail without first checking out, I'll likely do just that on my last day, 'cause there really won't be any significant punishment for it. What'll they do, dock me?]
I really don't like when others [or myself, when I catch it] do this, the "My silence is disapproval" thing when in practice it's the exact opposite. Consider: "When you don't say No to your kids about drugs, it's the same as saying Yes." I've even formed a permanent grudge against someone after a specific incident of just that, even if I try my best to behave civilly with everyone and even if I fully believe in forgiveness. Just goes to show that principle and practice aren't always the same.
Another thing that's been grating at me is how Noisy Fucker is [in Samara's words] "funny," when in my observations his "funny" comments are of the "first bullshit thing out of my mouth" variety and, to me, not very. Unfortunately, I recognize this in my youthful self, trying to be witty but only ending up being outright insulting, even if on accident [one incident in particular made me give it up entirely... or, well, with HIGHLY sporadic regressions]. If it bothered me when I did it, would I really not be bothered when someone else does it?
So, if I'm a little hard on people for these things now you know why. I'm trying, but it's tough.
Also, THIS NEVER GETS OLD! XDXDXDLOLOLOLOLFlow team, on autofills: You can take that right back, 'cause we don't want it!
Oh, wait, YES IT DOES. >=( *shakes fist* and that's just the "funny" stuff I get ¬_¬
Umn, bedtime =p --soonish, if not immediately.
