Bring 'em On
Why yes, hello, I am extremely cranky.
Be glad you are on the other side of the computer.
I think though, that I am getting sick. But really, we have been sick more this year than any year EVER and it is beginning to get to me.
It truly doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I am older. I have no problem with getting older. It's fairly inevitable anyway, so there is no point in getting pissy about it.
I find that the older I get, the less patient I am with bullshit. I have never been one to ignore it, but additional years seem to make me want to screech and point it out.
I am also more confident than ever, which is saying a lot.
I've always had a confidence streak a mile wide. For no good reason, really. It has served me well in the past, although I wonder if aging will simply make me delusional about it.
If there is one thing I have learned in my many years here on earth that has always stood me in good stead is that if you don't have confidence, FAKE IT. Fake it until it hurts. Fake it long and hard enough, and soon you'll begin to believe it.
I did.

Confidence and stuff like I mean. Not the, ahem, that.
You know what I mean...
Now stop with the cranky! ;-) I've managed to avoid a fullblown attack of that mysterious recurring virus by 1) sleep. lots of sleep when the spirit moves me; 2) airborne and zinc. I don't care if it's the placebo effect at work; it's keeping me notsick; and 3) neti pot. Irrigate the nasal passages, I'm tellin' ya, even if you don't think there's anything up there.
This is the third time in a month I've gotten the first signs of that sore throat and congestion, and I hammer at it with the above and voila! It hasn't taken me down yet.
I hope you feel better.
I hope it happens for you! Frankly I believed it!
It's not really about faking it, it's about changing the thousands of negative thoughts we have each day and turning them into postive ones.
Then our body produces these magical little happy chemicals and volia... what we think is what we are.
and I am thinking that I rock.
I can fake it pretty good too. I used to be very shy and quiet growing up. Now if I feel insecure, I just take a deep breath and ask myself "who really gives a rat's ass what others think about me anyways" and my confidence returns, and I act like the fool I am.
Can I tell you a secret. My first job in computers was totally a gamble, but it was a sweet opportunity for good money. I lied about my skills in the interview, hoping I could learn along the way, and I actually got the job.
That kind of confidence is either a well crafted illusion of plain stupidity, I'm not sure which. :)
