there is a belief held
“universally”
that should you/I/Me/We operate from a position
of integrity or fairness
you will be responded to in like form

Today was another example of “not so much”…

as a result…I’m not sure that I want to work where I work anymore
I can only hope that I calm down by Friday

in the meantime…
people that do operate from a position of integrity
have sent me some Dave Barry for my birthday tomorrow:

1. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.
2. There is a very fine line between ‘hobby’ and ‘mental illness’
3. Nobody is normal
4. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be ‘meetings’
5. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person
6. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously
7. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.
8. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance
9. You should not confuse your career with your life

and last but certainly not least…

10. Your friends love you anyway

I was surfing random blogs and came across a quote that has struck me…

Children who are not spoken to by responsive adults will not learn to speak properly. Children who are not answered will stop asking questions. They will become incurious. And children who are not told stories and who are not read to will have few reasons for wanting to learn to read. – Gail E. Haley,1971 – Caldecott Medal Acceptance Speech

…is this what’s wrong with us?
is this why the next generation gives me the feeling that they could give a shit?

and all this time I thought it was a lack of accountability
turns out that the fact that the people of my generation narrowly missed being born alcohol adiccted did in fact turn out a generation of kids that aren’t accountable because we weren’t responsive?
we made them incurious….we made them
we…..
