Hostile Tuesday

So, today was one of those days when if the sun wasn't out you'd hear me cursing because that was "just my luck" and if it was shining beautifully you'd hear disgruntled mumbles along the lines of "pure fuckin spite..." And do you know what the sun is doing? You should check the weather network's report... we're in for more "Clear Haze". What a bunch of oxymorons.
Why the hostility? Why the distasteful hatred toward the sun? What could the sun have possibly done to deserve this treatment? I'll tell you: It came up. Pathetic, hmm? But it couldn't just stay put, it had to rise, and here we are.
But, Erin, it's Tuesday. Isn't your hostility a day early? It sure is ladies and gents, but you can count on a hostile Wednesday as scheduled, this one just got a bit of a head start. Moreover, there might be more bitterness on Hostile Tuesdays than their later in the week counterpart. I gotta tell you, this one feels extra extra hostile. But, since it is Tuesday, and that means I'm supposed to be holding this in, let's discuss this matter of "bottling up your emotions." Sounds like fun don't it. Pros and cons? I think that will work.

Pro: People are nicer to nice people. This is fully testable, go outside with a smile and say hello to every person you see. Even if they don't want to talk to you, people generally smile back and are very polite.
Con: Who wants to talk to people anyway? People are idiots.

Pro: By being nice, you will make others feel better about themselves. A kind word does a world of good and all that junk.
Con: Other people shouldn't be able to feel better about themselves if you are feeling so miserable about yourself--it's just rude.

Pro: Maybe if you can make other people believe you're happy then you really will be...someday.
Con: Probably not. If there's something bugging you, you're going to have to face up to it.

Pro: Ignorance is bliss. Everybody will be happier if they remain in the dark about your peccadilloes and insecurities.
Con: You will spend many of your days thinking about how no one really knows the real you...sigh.

Pro: Feeling hurts. Pretending doesn't hurt as much.
Con: That tumour you developed from the stress of keeping everything inside. You know that scene on Family Guy where Lois represses something retarded about Peter, and she says, what harm can smiling do? (Or something to that effect). Well, the harm is a singing tumour.

So the debate continues--shock of a lifetime. I'm going to do a truly selfless good deed: I'm going to sit in the job search clinic for an hour and teach people how to get good jobs. Sometimes no one shows up though. The JSC is notorious for throwing those kinds of curve balls at us. If no one is there I'm going to go over my budget because the thing about working for the SDC that you can always count on is the "unpaid" part.
