I'm Only Talking Sense

Apr 13, 2006 12:04

I can't believe it!!! Yesterday was bad enough, this morning was so absurd that I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'd just told this woman that I've essentially just written a book and she asked if I knew how to save documents and stuff. For crying out loud, what did she think I do, carved it in marble?! If only I were that wealthy!!! It would have been so simple to put it in a way that did not insult my intelligence. It could have been as simple as reframing it, instead of "do you know how...", something like "so I assume you know how to ..." would have been a MUCH better way of putting it. Hello, just because I don't technically have a job at this particular point in time does not make me a less intelligent being who lacks feelings!

You know, my ex used to have this neat door-hanger than his parents once bought him (during one of their better gift buying moments) that said "Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here." It hasn't lost much of its feeling in what must be about 16 years since I first saw it, though at the time I opted for the one that said "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most". Perhaps I shall reserve the right to use both!
