Question...
Jul. 10th, 2010 11:36 amwhere the hell is the line between "ranting to blow off steam" and "passive-aggressive shit-talking"?
Ugh. P/A behaviour drives me up the wall. But does talking about it make me P/A?
I'm really more of an active-aggressive sort of person. I just happen to be very patient and very tolerant. Which makes it easier for me to get along with people, and I guess it makes it easier to get along with me. That and I'm kinda easy to figure out. Or, at least I look like it. Still waters run deep, and there's a body at the bottom of the well.
Long fuse. Long, long fuse. Luckily, I know the trick to this. It's about letting what does not matter, slide.
The rainstorms are a welcome relief from the violent heat wave that has gripped Philly this week. Perfect weather for some Depeche Mode, fresh coffee, and some fried scrapple. It's also a good day to play video games and draw half-naked elf chicks. Unfortunately, I can't just "let go" for a day and game it up. I'm obsessed with this new hobby. It's called "looking for work". Fuck. If I could somehow turn "looking for a job" into "a job", I'd be pulling in a six figure salary.
I'd be pissed if I wasn't so goddamned amused.
