I don’t think I’ve ever been attacked in a Pit thread before. Memory escapes me in these dark, dying days. Maybe that means I’m not doing my job correctly, I dunno. But I’m as in the dark as anyone else about what exactly the OP may be referring to, so let me suggest just a few things that may be clogging my colon at the present time.
1 : Maybe it’s the fact that I have a job that I’m good at and pays pretty well, but which I’m beginning to feel bored and stagnated at and am beginning to get the feeling that I’ve gone as far in the company that I’m currently with as I’m ever going to.
2 : Maybe it’s the fact that I have one autistic son who I love dearly but whose OCD is at times impossible to deal with; who screams so loudy when he doesn’t get his way at times that I sometimes fear that the next door neighbours are going to call the cops and report us for child abuse and the only thing that stops them is that the people across the street have fights that are even louder than that.
3 : Maybe it’s the fact that I have another autistic son who’s on a feeding tube and has to be hooked up to machinery four times a day just to get proper nutrition. And who’s preferred way of expressing disaproval with something, or even just having fun, is to throw whatever he can find that’s not nailed down in any direction it will go.
4 : Maybe it’s that between the two of them I hardly have a minute’s peace for myself and I still have another daughter who is just on the cusp of womanhood and needs a ton of attention herself right that I’m just too tired at times to give properly.
5 : Maybe it’s that in the middle of all this I still find time to put Teemings together for everyone’s entertainment and reading pleasure for which I get almost zero feedback.
6 : Maybe it’s because I get almost zero personal e-mail and what e-mail I do get is asking me to take care of board problems unless I whine about never getting any personal mail and feeling completely out of it at which time I get a few bones thrown under my table.
7 : Maybe it’s because I have a wife who’s suddenly revealed to me that she’s pretty much a lesbian and knows now that she probably has been throughout the marriage, so any sex we have these days is rare, and at best emotionless. And maybe it’s because even then we still stay together because we feel that the extreme problems of our kids have to superceed our own.
8 : Maybe it’s because on top of that I’m apparently so sexually unattractive that ladies very rarely take a second look at me in person.
9 : Maybe it’s because of all that I rarely get the chance to go out anywhere and probably will never get the chance to attend a dopefest although I do get the live vicariously through reading what a wonderful time everybody else had.
10 : Maybe it’s because the damn “e” key on this damn $10 keyboard doesn’t work correctly and I keep having to wham on the thing to make it work.
11 : Or maybe, as I suspect, it’s because I shut down the threads about SqrlCub’s little stunt because the matter is being dealt with and as much as everyone wanted to vent their bile, I saw no reason to turn the BBQ Pit into a lynch mob. If that is indeed that case and the OP is not now trying to back out of it then I don’t need any fucking snot-nosed knock-kneed four-eyed dipwad cockflanger asshole 50-post-count dry-heaving vomitous-pile-of-turkey-dung wretched-bilious-pile-of-crap Richard-Marx-listening flop-jawed gerbiling JERK telling me how to do my job and the only thing that keeps me from going completely ballistic on your soggy-bottom ass is that I’m listening to Molly by Mike Oldfield right now which always tends to calm me down.
Thank you.
