...mood adjustment for shotgun and chainsaw.

[green_dreams]

I feel like I've just kicked a puppy.

The fact that the puppy was (metaphorically) hanging on to the cuff of my jeans being dragged around the apartment as it explained why it wasn't doing anything, it was looking into options and waiting for things to materialize and doing things logically which means working on them one at a time because god forbid it might end up in a situation where it actually got itself multiple options, does not make me feel much better. It makes me a little more angry, but doesn't actually reduce the guilt, just shouts over it.

It also makes me very uneasy about my own habits. I mean, yes, I bitch about things, but I work on them, too. I try and finish art. I cancel things that need to be cancelled. I make changes. I look for things. Sometimes I don't notice that I can make changes until it's pointed out, and sometimes I don't have time to do everything I want, but once I see something's broken, I fix it.

Don't I?

Damn puppies.

I'm more of a cat person anyway.

Some puppies really, really, really need to be housebroken.

With a hammer, if necessary.

The only hammers which may legally be wielded are ones which I for which I lack either the will for effort (because patient and repeated explanation doesn't fucking work) or the training and renumeration prospects.

I am not willing to use illegal hammers. That would be wrong.

I beat an ex-boss to death repeatedly in my head as he used the reason "But there aren't instructions on how to run the event"

Sometimes you have to make it up as you go along, and waiting for stuff to materialize isn't the way to go. This year, same event, different boss, no instructions, improvising as we go along, running MUCH better. And I have killed him in my dreams once.

Could I trouble you for a few additional details? That sounds like potential comic strip material.

Campus Pride Week. His predecessor didn't get around to leaving him a transition report due to unforseen heart surgery and associated recuperation time. There are records on what we've done for the event every year though. In any case every meeting we would ask the question "What are we doing?" and every week he would say "I don't know, I haven't received the transition report". This was ok in September, but when January rolled around, I was ready to kill him. Life does not come with an instruction manual and I started delivering lectures on "Good things come to those who work for them!" Which I'm pretty sure were being registered in his mind as "What would Sandy look like in the green dress?", Sandy being his drag persona. Enter a few drama moments involving "I can't possibly put together a decent event on such short notice" and thus began my mental killing spree of one victim over and over again.
