Stuckness...frustration...dealing with morons. Having to exert my extremely assertive face (as in, no, you WILL do this because I say so...)and trying to stay impenetrably calm when really I feel like twisting someone's head off...That kinda thing.

That's not assertive (which would be calm and accepting of another's desire/feelings to possibly do something else), that is very aggressive and controlling behavior.

VTT~ C'mon, that wasn't very nice. I thought you had "changed." What you're doing is attacking a person who is suffering. Kicking someone while they're down. Please think of this Xena's feelings.

Xena, I know exaclty how you feel, it takes so much energy to deal with these kind of situations, ugh. I feel for ya.

Thank you, BR. Nah...I just felt stuck...didn't want to go into details too much...mainly had to do with things not happening (and still not), lousy weather, etc. That post-February feeling.

But since the winged messenger has come out of Retro, things seem to be perking up - so let's wait and see what happens.

I knew something was wrong since we haven't spoke in a while, and i just hope things will get better with whomever your involved in any particular given situation. In life, we will encounter few to quite a bit of situations that we can't change, and will have to learn to accept and keep at peace for most parts.

notice she says, extremely , assertive, not just assertive. Being extremely assertive may mean being violent at times. You must address someone in the context of which they speak, not what you choose to hear.

Nah, nah, I'm not violent, I just resent people being idiots, that's all, passive aggression and all that, or deliberately obstructing progress. Yeah, it's to do with my planned website, the setting-up stage's just dragging on and dragging on and it feels like it's never gonna reach a finished state and I'm doing my nut and I need a break.

So there!!
