Women who, in a different time, might have called themselves feminist are some of the stupidest women. Pelosi pulls the fake tears act today - only a woman could get away with it and it's the lowest sort of manipulation a woman can try.
It seems the weakest women are those who try to pretend to be strong feminists. They want to be men who use womens tricks. They don't want to be strong women. Like those who completely devalued the title of 'actress'. They believe men are far more important than women, so they took the masculine title of 'actor'.
They devalued the term 'actress' themselves. In doing so, they showed their own insecurities with their gender. Just like Pelosi did today.
Idiots.

Besides Being a Trouble-maker
I mentioned before how my old boss trashed me as much as they could to the new boss before leaving. I just found out another thing they told her. Not only am I trouble-maker, I also don't like my schedule being changed.
My old boss changed my schedule to give their pet the day off, right before leaving and with no notice to me that I was now schedule the next day - the start of a new week. It was a big controversy before they left, them lying to my face and saying I changed it back, when actually their boss did it for me. Well, they must have added to the new boss that not only did I do it, but I object to schedule changes in general.
Am I jumping to conclusions? For six years I've had the same schedule. For the next four weeks, at least two days every week have been scratched out and penciled in somewhere else - randomly, it seems. My usual day off - 'm working. Odd two hour shifts [two hours?] added here and there.
It must be a test. It looks like the boss used a dart and a calendar to decide what days to put me down. Thing is, I'm good at tests and I live 3 minutes from where I work. As long as they doesn't change it again and not tell me, this doesn't faze me. I just wonder how many hoops I'll have to jump through before they realizes who was lying.

Missing Humour Module
I've finally given in and accepted that I am missing some type of humour module. Many people have it - I don't. My brother has it - I don't.
My brother said I *had* to see the second episode of Glee. I went to Hulu and watched it. I laughed once. It was painful to sit through the whole show - even with 'limited commercial interruptions'.
My brother and I agree on some shows - 30 Rock, Big Bang Theory - we both think they are hilarious. Big Bang Theory makes me laugh so hard I almost cry. Glee left me bored and bothered that I wasted my time.
The type of humour was the same as the Coen brother's work, the TV show Better Off Ted, and likely Napoleon Dynamite. I don't know it's classification, but I don't get it. I don't find it funny.
I want to find out what type of humour those movies/shows are considered -is it too dry for me? too esoteric? too... what? Why does that style leave me flat?

Ruined Reputation
I've worked at the same place for many years. I had the same supervisor for all but the last few months - the best boss I ever had. She understood my position inside and out and trained me once and let me go. She didn't hover or micromanange.
The hierarchy changed, and I got a new supervisor. They didn't understand my job at all, made rules that got in the way of me doing my job, and decided a new employee was their pet. Then, they found out they were being transferred to another location.
As the ad hoc leader of my co-workers, I was in the way of the pet person getting ahead. For the last month of working in my location, they set about ruining my reputation with the manager. I didn't even know they were doing anything behind the scenes. In the last week of working with me, they changed my schedule. They put me down for a day I wasn't scheduled, so I wouldn't know to come in and would look irresponsible.
Luckily, I found out. Angered that it didn't work, they lied to my face about changing the schedule and accused me of changing it. That's when I realized something was going on. I didn't realize the extent of it, not then. I'm now starting to see it.
The boss has been convinced. I am lazy. I don't understand my job. I am a trouble-maker. The thing is, if you are labeled a trouble-maker just about anything you do to try to make that label go away makes you look like a trouble-maker. It's self-fulfilling. All my years of being a model employee, the position of the lead of my group, is all shot to hell in one month, and I never saw it coming.
I can't tell the boss they've been lied to. I'd just sound like a trouble-maker. I'll just keep doing my job. I don't think it will make them realize they've been mislead. I imagine any tiny failure on my part will justify what they've been lead to believe, while all my successes will be written off as chance - a bad employee getting it right every now-and-then.
I'm a little impressed with the person who was transferred. I never considered anyone could be that evil and do it so discretely and completely in such a short amount of time.
I've never been the 'bad employee'. I have no idea if there is a way out of the misdeserved title.

Truth is...
I have to fix my car tomorrow. I've been bragging about fixing it myself for almost a week, but with the holiday and rain I haven't been able. Truth is... I'm a little scared to work on it. I've worked on all my previous cars, but they were all old and I really couldn't hurt them. Even this part I'm fixing, I can't really hurt it. It's not like I'm rebuilding the carb - which I have on a previous car. This is just: take off the part, open it up, take out the old pieces, put in the new pieces. But, I love this car and it's the difference between a $10 fix and $100 rebuild that's just someone else doing what I can do myself. I have to do it.
It's still scary.

Spammy Disappointments
I received two spam mails today that at first glance were totally awesome and made me laugh, but on closer inspection were a let-down.
1. A personal note explaining a gambling system that is sure to win.
There was no link to a gambling site. It seems the catch was in my believing I had written this person and writing back. The email even included a quoted message with my email address asking for the system. How original!
Let down: I received three of them. One was clever, three :(
2. An email supposedly from the IRS about unreported income.
It even had a 'noreply' gov return address. Very smart.
Let down: It says 'click on the link below', but they forgot to put their link.
Losers!

Mother Nature Sucks
It seems entirely unfair that I could have my period for nine days, accompanied by hot flashes. One or the other would be understandable, but this is like Mother Nature alternately saying, "You're young enough to breed!"
"You're old enough not to breed!" at the same time.
"You're old enough not to breed!" at the same time.

Facebook dilemma
If I go out with the brother of the guy I had a well-known crush on in high school, do I mention his brother? I don't care how he's doing, because I know he's married. Married is married to me. He may as well be gay in my eyes.
Since we're talking 20plus years ago, does it still matter?
Wouldn't it be totally odd if we hit it off and I became the sister-in-law of my high school crush? That's almost a good reason not to go out with the guy. Except, I always did get along with him better.
Curse you Facebook!!
