One day I will learn

[cornerofmadness]

Too many times I say things thoughtlessly at work, things that will come back and bite me in the ass if I'm not careful. Things I will obsess over until I make myself insane and sleepless. I do it every. time.

I do it when I'm tired or sick or overworked and not thinking. I need remember silence is golden. With any luck those words were forgotten as soon as I said them.

That said I DO find it creepy our utterly unqualified dean of students sits around scanning snapchats to see if he can catch students doing bad things but maybe a good learning experience for the teens who live online (and how you can't trust your friends who put it up there in the first place).

A lot of the angst around the Welsh fellowship is resolved and in a good way. I'm already working on an idea for my own proposal. And just noodling around I found This guy who is doing the research I'm interested in. Yes, I WILL be sending him an email. Worst he can do is ignore me or tell me to piss off but it's worth a shot to open a dialogue.


Today Iktomi would have been 20. I still miss him. He had such personality.

My birthcat who hated me. Ah, Iktomi.

Words can cut and cause so many problems even when you have the best intentions. Aigh.

You were the only person he didn't like. Which is just hysterical.

They can. In this case it was less cutting words than being too honest about some people's shortcomings

It is! Since animals who don't like other people usually like me...

And he loved literally everyone. He got into UPS trucks with strangers to say hello

Yes, yes, so you keep saying.

So I stuck MY foot in my mouth today after complimenting a co-worker on her outfit yesterday, I said, "Aww, no bright clothes today, you're wearing something dul...I mean, CALM."

Oops.
