Insufferable. May they receive particularly itchy sweaters for Christmas, & their printers run out of toner at inappropriate moments.
I have been listening to Alan Jackson. About 20 years ago we would sit outside in the evening around a fireplace at our lake house and drink adult beverages and sing along with Alan. Such good times, good music and great memories!

It's often said we fail to outgrow childish inclinations, but rather learn only to express them with greater sophistication. I'm not sure I agree with that. I do however experience one inclination, once in a while, that could be accurately summarised as 'I don't want to. I don't want to go *pout'. One of my earliest memories is of hanging to the bottom of the passenger seat of my mother's 1970 Toyota Celica, & being stretched horizontally, much like a tightened rope, as my mother pulled at my ankles. A visual effect similar to that of the medieval torture of quartering by clydesdale, only bereft of malignant motivations & outcome, but rather, in this instance, my mother's well meaning attempt to have me attend swim class, & my expression of 'I don't want to. I don't want to go *pout'. I no longer hang to car seats for dear life as an adult, instead, when on my way to the places I do not want to be, so to do the things I do not want to do, I catastrophize the elements of life considered a grind by listening to Comedown by Bush at high volume. Because this, alas only slightly, is a form of personal progress *laughs That said, I think legitimate complaints are found when working 90 hour weeks, for long periods of time, while simultaneously failing to sleep once or twice a week. Sometimes I wish I could hang to the foot of my bed when life's requirements demand I remove myself from it. To the slow trudge we all experience from time to time, or the majority of the time, for one reason or another. And to the people & environments which offer comfort & shelter, rendering this seemingly mindless march so often unbearable in comparison to. ~ Bush - Comedown ~
