Things

It is gross here today. PIssy rainy icky. Feh.

I have three ulcers in my mouth.  They hurt.  Make eating anything VERY painful. This aggravates me on a number of levels.

I have to write a letter of recommendation for someone, whom I actually like, for a job for which they’d be a good fit.  I’m failing. It MUST be done today.  WAAAH.

I have a million things to do, and yet, I’m bored, and don’t want to do them.

My asshat announced last night that he hates his job, and can’t bear it any more, and wants to quit, because he deserves better/more/easier/whatever.  He claims he can’t fix things anymore, that he’s losing his touch, etc. He has no alternate job lined up.  He’s unlikely to really quit. More likely to stay in the job he hates and torture the rest of us by being an asshat, crabby at us, and flying off the handle for no particular reason.  That has already begun.

To be honest, he has this “dark” look about him, that makes me seriously worry for his mental health. If I mention this (which I likely will at some point, if things aren’t much better later today), WW III could start, because, I’m basically a bitch. (Write that down..it’s VERY important!)

Quitting this job will not make him happy. Nor will keeping it. I’d like to move into my office at work - I could bring my kids - we could shower in the locker room, and it’s in their school district. Wonder if my superiors would mind?

The transmission on the asshat’s truck is kerfloo.  He can’t fix it, because he can’t fix anything anymore, and so this is going to cost us $2500, plus car rental, that we don’t have right now. Oh joy.

Have I mentioned that the weather is gross here today? Well, it is.

And, I didn’t bring lunch, so this means that I MUST either starve…or go out in the nasty weather AGAIN. Not sure which I’d rather do. Starving would be drier…..

Oh..and the new birth control I’m on, has the ever so lovely side effect of break through bleeding.  Read this to mean, I HAVE HAD MY PERIOD FOR THREE WEEKS.  This is VERY unhappy.

But, it is Friday.

Hillary and Misogyny

Marie Cocco has written an essay, called Misogyny I Won’t Miss.(HT to Ann+ for pointing out the essay!) The essay echoes some things I was reading in a Salon article a few weeks ago about Hillary Clinton and blatant misogyny.

I don’t like Hillary. I have a visceral dislike toward her.

This frustrates me. I consider myself to be a feminist - Clinton is a woman, and she’s running for president, and I want to be able to back her campaign. But I can’t. (ETA: In the comments below, Tandaina does make the very good point that Hillary is riding Bill’s coattails, and that real feminists don’t vote for women, just because. Which is, of course, TRUE.  Klady points out that part of the issue is that Hillary is a SUCKY politician, in general..which is also TRUE.)

She’s too much of slick, self-promoting politican for my taste.

But what exactly, am I expecting of ANYONE who would run for president? Like Obama ISN’T a slick, self-promoting politician? Like McCain isn’t? Like ANY of the other men who had their hat in the ring at the start of the primaries weren’t?

So, why exactly is it that I dislike Hillary so? Because she behaves like a man? like a politician? Because she has learned how to play the big boy’s game and isn’t afraid to do so?

And what about all the sexist side swipes being taken at her? The Hillary Nutcracker? The “Bros before Hos” t-shirts. Comparing her to the psycho Glenn Close character in Fatal Attraction, or you know, this lovely quote from DumbAss -erm, I mean FoxNews’ William Kristol, “White women are a problem, that’s — you know, we all live with that”

We have a problem, alright. We are living with it, alright. It’s further proof that sexism is alive and well.

And stay tuned…because, when Clinton finally bows out, and the race heats up between McCain and Obama, you can bet racism will show it’s ugly face to the party, too. Because red-neck America is waiting.

Well at least one good thing happened today…

California Supreme Court Overturns Gay Marriage Ban

You Are Sex On the Beach

When comes to drinking, you like it to go down smooth. You really don’t like the taste of alcohol - just its effect on you. So, you’re proud to get drunk on fruity, girly drinks. Because once you’re liquored up, the fun begins!

What Alcoholic Drink Are You?

This sooo doesn’t shock me….

You Should Live in a Small City

You are definitely an urban person, but not any old city will do. You want a city that matches you well. For you, big cities lack individuality. You prefer a smaller city with lots of personality, local culture, and history.

Where Should You Live?

HT to Mocat

Ain’t No Sunshine…

Cuz, um, there ain’t none today…and this song is on my mind.
