Welp, tomorrow I have to take back what I said, and have to come up with a... polite explanation as to why I don't want to take a physically dangerous job for $2.50 an hour.
I'd be less conflicted if I was a bastard, but pretty much everyone I know has reaffirmed that ... this is not a good idea.
What the fuck ever?
Meanwhile my online "social life" ? If you can call it such continues to deteriorate
much like everything else around me.
I haven't had the opportunity for a followup confrontation with a forum-goer who went pretty far out of his way to either malign me, misinterpret me, or just troll me.
Either way, he's not been seen since, but the owner/operator/moderator of said forum has a stick up his ass, and I was ... somewhat in the line of fire of his /rage.
Not something I want to deal with or come down on me since that forum's a good distraction, and of some use to me. His hissyfit was ill timed for me since I had taken about as much infantile fuckery as I could for one month.
I think that's why I recently went so far out of my way not to look like an asshole on there. Might mean nothing, but... in reality, I sometimes grow tired of some of the smarmy fuckheads in that community that are legitimately convinced of their superiority for knowing more about paintbrushes or masking tape than someone else.
I probably know more about classical film and literature and I've not turned my nose up at any of these people for that.
I'm sure I've been accused of being one. But I always meant to do so in a satirical way and I often went out of my way to help someone that had largely been ignored by the people that had more experience and had apparently forgotten how frustrating it was to START this hobby.
I dunno... there's some
perverse need in me
to help others.
It comes out online, in games, when I go to the grocery store, and when I work.
Can't get around it.
Not so much here since so many people on this site are... there's a word for it I'm sure...
Worthless.
It just occurs naturally.
You needed something and I was in a position to offer minimal effort to potentially improve your situation.
If that's not reflexive, shouldn't it be?
Oh, and welcome back to writer's block.
