But yeah...it's an odd thing to respond to when you are having a shitty ass few years....I guess you could always just flip them off?Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

JohnMitchell 16 #52 September 6, 2011 A smart old boss once told me "Never tell people you're having a bad day. 90% don't care and 10% are glad to hear it."I usually go by that but when I'm really sitting down and talking to friends, my troubles are fair game for conversation. I still prefer to keep my sense of humo(u)r about it all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still prefer to keep my sense of humo(u)r about it all. You know I use to think that but.......all having a sense of humor does is make others think that you are fine and that it's fine to joke about what's bothering you. Case in point, when asked about what I feel about my current living conditions I use to just joke and say "Nothing like living in old lady land" which prompted some dumb fuck to joke about dating old ladies. First time funny, second time ha ha third time you just want to shove a pencil in their ear and look them square in the eye and say "I FUCKING LOVE IT ASSHOLE!" But that would be violent and not to mention rude. But that's what you get when you lie and just try to turn a bad situation into a joke. So I've adopted a much more effective approach, look the dumb fuck in the eyes and say "IT SUCKS!" or if it's someone you actually give a flaming pile of shit about "I'm looking to leave as soon as I can." Both usually end the conversation and unless the dumb fucking engineer has some sort of mental problem....which oddly most seem to suffer from some mild form of asburgers....there won't be any further questions let alone jokes about how much I enjoy the view of old saggy ladies at the pool.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Niki1 2 #55 September 6, 2011 Quote Well, today out cycling, I stopped at a convenience store where they know me and when they asked I answered: "Well, I've only been hit by one car so far today!" Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?

I think you mean either Aspergers or ass-burgers. Either term would be acceptable. Hey, like I said, I like to keep my sense of humour about it all. But . . . my problems are small, my blessings are many . . . so it's easy to joke about my life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I was married, fat, dumb and happy...yeah it was ok to joke aboutl life and all was well. But now that I am serving time....well it's no joking matter as such....I have to be more stright forward about it. So.....perhaps the answer is say nothing or just give a short...It sucks!Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

JohnMitchell 16 #58 September 6, 2011 Why don't you say "Hangin' in there." And then mime holding a rope up with your neck bent over. Maybe they'd get the idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
