thebratqueenDid a brief stint with wakefulness earlier today then went back to bed. Didn't sleep as such. Ended up lazing around with a book, which is part of the many advantages of a day off. Haven't eaten yet which I can tell is going to bite me in the butt in maybe 20 min, but what can you do when there's a kitty purring in your lap? I ask you? Esp an aggressive snuggler like Mac is?
So, unable to get to the kitchen due to cat bondage, I surfed friends and friendsfriends. I have decided that based on an entry in one of those areas (won't say where) combined with comments made by "I find that whole guy/guy thing disturbing" girl from the NYE party regarding some other online stuff she didn't understand, that my official pet peeve of the day is people who can't be bothered to take half a second to assume that even if something doesn't make sense to you it obviously does to the people doing the thing.
Don't get me wrong. When not being TBQ I am definitely The Pretentious Queen, ready to poo-poo something that I think is horseshit faster than you can say Chris Rice is the voice of gay youth. But at least I take the time to understand first. I don't do the pointy haired boss thing of assuming that just because I don't get it, it's therefore a waste of time.
I guess the whole thing goes back to my bullshit-o-meter. I don't mind if you bullshit nearly as much as I mind if you do it badly, and while the "I don't know about this thing so I'm going to try to bluff my way to looking smart by just putting it down sight unseen" is definitely a time-honored bullshit, it's definitely a double-edged sword that will cut you hard if you can't at least get a reading of the room. You can't impress people by pointing out the emperor has no clothes unless you first double check to make sure you're not in a country that actually likes nudity. Just sayin'.
