Some stuff I've dug up...
These are the blog posts about atheism I found interesting: (For Jess)
Atheists and Anger
How to be an Ally with Atheists
I'm feeling much better after sleeping & coming to grips with the fact that Sunday was way more activity than my bod can handle, with a clear relationship to Mondays experience of going into work late, leaving early, having to cover myself with heating pads, and embracing the horizontal. *sigh*
But yeah, I feel better today. Conflicted about where to draw the line between professionalism and standing up for myself. The line I usually draw is not doing the trick, and I think it must be moved. I don't want to be a hypocrite, but at the same time I find that I can be inflexible. Especially when I've said "This is what I believe is right. This is what I do because this is how I think." then am forced to do something different because its not working.
Bottom line: my confidence is constantly being undermined, and I am getting sick of it. It leads me to want to ask if it would be inappropriate to stand up for myself - but frankly how ridiculous is that question?! (of course I should stick up for myself, right?) So I've decided not to ask, but rather (be aware of my impulses to punch kick and bite, and instead use words to...) calmly defend myself.
*sigh* I'm not much of a strategist, nor am I a quick thinker - hopefully I wont make an asshole out of myself.
