Is it tense around here or *what*...

Posted by kara lynne on August 28, 2003, at 0:45:57

I'm beginning to believe in this Mars influence upon us earthlings. The tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Or block it from posting for awhile...

i have to say i'm feeling a little punchy from all the high drama. sometimes i feel like we're just tryin' to work on our little crossword puzzle and somebody's gotta keep upsetting the table.

i know it's far more complicated than that, of course. i believe we all have valid points to make, even in dissent. at the end of the day, though, it *is* bob's site. if i don't like his rules, then i have the option to just take my toys and go home.

i guess not everyone has that degree of restraint. or maybe it's just an attempt at wild, hyperbolic humor. a briefly posted comment said something about not taking this too seriously.

i see their point, and even laughed at one crack that was made yesterday, but for the most part i feel that it is serious when it's upsetting to the group spirit; not to mention extra work for bob, who can't be impervious to the harangue which has been so hateful in tone.

hmmm...watch me get a PBC for defaming an extremely uncivil post that was only even up for ten minutes from a blocked poster while trying to defend dr. bob. now *that* would be funny! i'll just try that sentence again: i feel that the tone of some of these posts were uncivil toward dr. bob (and dinah too).

i've considered posting some of my thoughts on this topic on the admin board, but i don't know if i want to expend what little energy i have on it. also, i fear it would only leave me open to attacks from all and sundry, which i definitely do not need.

 

nooooooooooo!!!!

That's what I always worry about, and why I'm glad that Dr. Bob usually deletes these messages rather quickly. They frequently result in PBC's for others, and I've never found that funny at all. I'm not commenting on your post, just a general rumination.

(And thank you. I'm getting a bit better at letting things roll like water off a duck's back and Dr. Bob must be a pro at that by now.)

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm a bit more quiet because work is entering another period of one deadline after another. And we're trying to fix up our backyard, and I'm dealing with contractors. One of which is really really annoying me. I think I'm going to have to switch at the end of this phase, even if it means getting new insurance certificates. :(

So I haven't been able to even read all the posts, and am feeling really out of touch with what's going on with everyone.

Me too. I'm completely out of touch. I'm not here much lately and don't read much, so actually I don't even know what tension you're talking about.

I just haven't really been able to handle being on here lately.

... me three!
... i don't know why kara kara's feeling tenseness _here_ (i haven't been to social in a while either), but i know why i'm having tension *Here* !

... i'm at work
... like any other day at work
... except
... this is my last day at work here
... i have accepted the retirement incentive
... so, i Am retiring ... ... (pretty much ... it is Not like i'll never work again ... i'm Not That retired ... yet)
... soooooo, what's my goodbye send-off for my last day, after working here 30 years?

... each of my closest co-workers has gotten into snits and internecine office warfare, THIS Morning
... ... the place is like a combat zone
... ... and now everyone is all hunkered down into slulks and snub mode(s) ...

... ... which could be bad enough,
... except every one of these "issues" are related to my departure
... and made much much worse because of the denial and childish subtrefuge
... and total self-indulgent emotional baloney
... ... i should care for these folks well-being, but they have tried to burn that bridge for me ....

so i'm a little tense ... until i get to leave at 5 PM .... then NO MORE !!!

... .... but i won't be able to put it away then either ...

... i know!
... i'll call up my doc now and get my lex rx upped to 20 mg!! ... ... of course! ... drugs are the answer !!! HA!

where in the heck-fire is my buddhism when i need it, anyway ????

(Om Ah Ra Tsa Na Dhi !!!!! ... ... !!)

peace,
~ jim

p.s. hugs to all ... especially kara and yesac!

What a sendoff! Isn't it nice to know that people can behave?

Maybe they are trying to show you that everything will fall apart when you leave - because you are the glue that holds everything together.

If you lived on the East coast, you could leave in 2 hours.

... no, they felt the need to take it out on me, i guess !

> If you lived on the East coast, you could leave in 2 hours.

... i tell y'all, i have gotten to feeling SO MUCH BETTER about this since i posted it here!

... i mean, like Magic!!

<<uh, buddhism ? (om ah ra tsa na dhi ... ... ) ... maybe ... !>>

but having you "listen" Has Helped ... a LOT!

Hi Jimi!
I'm telling you, this Mars thing. Really. It will be over soon (hopefully), and things should be more peaceful.

I'm off for the day and don't have much time, but I just wanted to tell you how nice it was to come here and see your smiling face.

Love K.L.
