It’s all about me
I try to avoid talking about work (because, repercussions). But I have to say, I just got an all-staff memo that reminds us to be mindful about cussing too loudly and I wanted to ask why they didn’t just tell me directly about it.
I assume it’s about me. I assume everything is about me. Because, who the hell else is anything about?
I remember when a friend and I got in trouble in high school, and our parents got accosted on parent-teacher day by the foulest-mouthed pipsqueak of a “teacher” (and boy do I use air quotes for her) who complained about our language.
Let me say, I learned some new words from her!
The good news was, our families basically said fuck off to her.
In any event, I don’t have that strong of a reaction now. But I do want to helpfully say that if there weren’t so many REASONS to swear, I could perhaps curb it a bit.
Oh well. Cuss less, drink more. I am a problem-solver like that.
