Reply to comment by fainting--goat in How to Survive College - why are software licenses so expensive anyway by fainting--goat

You've seen the ugly in the inhuman and the human alike.... we have to deal with those awful people on the DAILY. I'm not saying I'm team inhuman....but I can see where they are coming from sometimes. I get talked down too, ignored, forgotten, and then expected to drop everything when someone has a problem they created themselves.

Just recently I was forgotten in the office when everyone left early the last business day before a holiday.... they all left early and turned the lights off while I was still here. No one thought to say anything to me about everyone getting out early. So it's the accumulation of all these types of things that most likely gave birth to such an inhuman. I do feel pity for those just trying to do their work and getting the brunt of the collective anger of the IT field. It seems that those that ACTUALLY deserve the consequences never receive them.

You're right, thanks for clarifying that. I also believe that addiction is never a choice, no matter whether it's alcohol or skin-shifting.

As a child, I was actually very angry at my birth-parents for being the way they were. I thought they choose their addiction over me, that I had just not been good enough. But then, Mom told me stories on how addiction affects the brain, even some annectdotes of her own patients, of good people, loving people with families, who really did want to stop because they loved their kids so, so much, but couldn't. This really helped me come to terms with the death of my birth-parents back then. She was a good Mom before I ate her.

Reply to My dad’s Countdown Man stories make the ones from those other posters seem tame by scarymaxx

Ohhhh noooo!!

If your dad has seen him do his Countdown Thing nine times, I wonder if after his tenth… he’ll become the next Countdown Man??

But that would also explain why when you’ve seen him and tried talking to him, he cannot respond. And didn’t you say it looked like he wanted to speak with you but was being held back by something?

Oh man. This is not good, I’m afraid.
