And I agree — I NEVER tell a client when I pull an all-nighter. I don’t want that to become an expectation.

And, if it’s a rush, there’s a good-sized rush fee attached,which then pays for the day at the spa I need to recover. I’m not 18 anymore; all nighters are no longer fun.

I think I’m funny. I think our blog is entertaining for those with a certain odd sense of humor. I think mental institutions should allow more computer to allow those to visit our blog more often.

I think I’m also good at eating, visiting websites, commenting, Googling… what? computer time over already?? i don’t want to put on the jacket… al;sdkjskxcaxc

Matt: Hah! Nice. I think preachers get away with this better than other people.

Lori: Freckles rock. I love mine like little children.

Tony: Oh, see, then don’t pull all-nighters. I work really well over-caffeinated and stressed out. I wish I didn’t know that, but it’s true.

s.g.: Sorry, dude! Did you go to the link? xkcd will save you!

Oscar: You should have linked to your blog, honey. Don’t worry, I did it for you. Check out today’s post.

1. Despite her own words to the contrary, she’s so unaware of her insecurities that she feels the need to tell everyone she’s good at sex (always a tip-off of someone with an emotional problem or a troubled personal life).

2. Her “stealthy displays of affection” are probably her way of compensating for the less appealing person inside who resents babies for getting attention despite the fact that they’re ugly. But people probably read through those stealthy displays, anyway. People are more polite than she, however, and they don’t say anything to her about how peculiar her affection comes across.

3. Most people suck at drawing; most people suck at breakdancing, probably because nobody really breakdances anymore. As admissions go, these only give further credence to the notion that she doesn’t know her own strengths and limitations very well at all, despite her assertions to the contrary.

4. Ugly babies are ugly; talking on the phone is no substitute for real contact, with all of its potential for stealthy affection. So she’s not good at being phony. Such self-assertions are is usually a surefire first sign of a wildly untrustworthy person.

5. She knows what she can do; she knows what she can’t. Perhaps she is right. Perhaps it is a gift that will keep on giving. Like so many people whose narcissistic missives make their way into the deep space of the web, she will someday recognize how shallow she sounded when she was young and writing about her success at a job now long forgotten. She will someday be able to tell this about herself just from her own writing.

I am good at…….. introducing myself to new people. Remembering their names after, or contributing to conversation in those little groups at functions after I’ve introduced myself, rather than nodding mutely, is something I need to work on.

Because I get really stupid when I’m tired and I don’t want to screw up their stuff.

I am also very comfortable talking about what I suck at. I don’t take work that I can’t do – well, I’ll take it when there’s just no one else available, but I warn the client that it’s not really a good idea. I’ll help them find someone who can do it.

Competent people don’t have to spin fairy tales. I don’t know everything, I can’t do everything. but I can do *enough to be valuable*.
