The No-Show Show

[Griffin NoName]

If you're dealing with loved ones, they may come around eventually and reach an understanding with you. If you're dealing with self-centered jerks, they will not be listening anyway.

<sigh> loved ones who are self-centred jerks <end sigh>

[Opsa]

Yes, there's them, too. 

PO9, you're a pal. Luckily, I am sure that people who know Bosslady would take anything she says with a grain of salt. In the last six months she has lost a boyfriend and at least one other employee besides myself, maybe two. I'm not sure because I now count myself as one of those who will never take her for her word again.

Me, I'm part of the town associates board and donate a lot of time there. People know I'm dependable. I think I'll just ...back ...away ...slowly from this adventure and not worry about it.

[Sibling Chatty]

Arrrghhh, Oi sez we poirate away her AmARRRRGHican Express CAAAAARGHD, go buy brand new Butt Kickin' Boots, and kick her poncy azz to the Isla de los Muertos.

If there's not one handy, we can start one. One Muerta at a time...

[pieces o nine]

Excellent suggestion, Chatty!


Opsanus, tell her: here are your sibs, coming to escort her to her very own Isla de los Muertos.

.... inaccurate* ...

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
*I have found that the word 'inaccurate' does not raise the hackles in the same way that 'incorrect', 'wrong', or 'lying' do, often allowing me to sneak my message in under someone's defense radar.

Odd, that.

Another one is:  "that turns out not to be the case"  It sounds positive, even though it's expressing either:  'you were mistaken' Or worse, 'you were lying'

[Opsa]

Ah yes, I shall recite Chatty's excellent message in my mind every time Bosslady tries to contact me. She is still trying, all full of ooey gooey false flattery. I am not responding, other than to gag quietly into my email-sickness bag.

Love the skeleladies. So stylish.

I mentioned the "inaccurate" theory to my other half, since I thought it was interesting. He said that "inaccurate" can also be used to severely piss people off who consider themselves to be precise.

I consider myself to be precise (when I try, otherwise I can be horribly vague), and inaccuracy doesn't bother me as much as imprecision. I'd rather be precisely wrong.

It's easier to calibrate a precise result (or attitude), and you can have total precision without accuracy, but not total accuracy without precision.
