“Why do people insist on conversing with me when I’m obviously otherwise engaged? It’s one thing when I’m at work, where I’m paid, in part, to deal with monkeys, morons, and all forms of half-wits. It’s a completely different story when I’m sludging down the street in the rain, pants soaked, glasses fogged, music blaring, determined to get coffee at any cost. I stop, adjust the optics and pull down the headphones only to hear ‘Hey sister, can you spare a smoke?’ NO. And I’m not your fucking sister.”

“See…you’re so Seattle already.”

Our office-stalker drama ended a few hours ago with a swift arrest and no complications to speak of. Shame. I was almost looking forward to having a viable (…right?…) excuse to bring some form of weaponry to work. It’s not often you can get away with walking down the hall, whip in one hand, taser in the other. And that’s a damn shame, too.

I purchased my ticket home today. March 16-20. So to all my honkeys in Florida, please prepare yourselves and clear some time that weekend. There will be liquor and love for all…and then some.

Excitement of the day: We have a new and improved office-stalker! A suspicious fellow was spotted in our hallway early this morning, slinking around, trying to gain entrance to our suite. This appearance mysteriously coincides with a rash of ill tempered phone calls received by one of our employees from a disgruntled ex. So after a briefing this morning, and another this afternoon, the security chap makes his rounds every hour or so, ensuring that we are safe, all parts and pieces accounted for. And the suite doors have been locked which is mildly annoying to those of us who don’t bother to bring our keys along on every smoke break. Now, this is the second stalker this office has seen in the past four months. And it’s not a large office. There are maybe 20 of us here. So I’m left to wonder; is it really the weather? Seriously? Because this place breeds stalkers. Breeds them, I tell you. True story.

Thanks for visiting; come back soon!

~ Truth ~

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear our presence automatically liberates others.
