Blog and other works of literary sense

Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot.

I'm still here it's been a while that I've been on the computer. Hearing and seeing tweets about the VP Debate. I don't wish to watch debates as they only exasperate me. I don't like confrontation. I never wanted to be in Law because I'd have to face some asshole who's going to make me want to cry and I hate doing that and it would only make me look bad in front of the judge. I'd have had to build up a certain sort of crassness or strength, whichever the word might apply, and be as bad as everyone else in the courtroom. I'd also be a rougher person, someone who's always rude, somewhat uppity, somewhat less than what I'd like to be as a person, as a woman.

Women are forced to be strong, or is it not a deficit to look like they're going to knock your block off if they were given the chance and have to break the glass ceiling? I never wanted to do that in my career, and there was only one job that I worked at that the chance came fleetingly to become a managerial person. I did not wish to be hardnosed and try to bully my way up the corporate ladder. I don't think I ever met a demure woman who became a manager. They developed a thick skin along the way. One of these types who seemed demure to me once she became a manager, began to look down on everyone with a certain type of disdain, a disgust, because, of course, she made the grade.

I'm not like that at all. I don't like being rude. I don't like having to be the one to chew out someone, or reprimand them in private or in public. Those who do this in public are really showing how much less they are as a person. Someone who's weak who bullies people. There is no excuse for this in any arena of life. I'm a follower, more than a leader. But some people like to lead like followers, but that's not me. I'd rather be a team player, and they've said I was in my last job. I rather be someone who helps to further a mission, a goal. It blends well with being a woman, a feminine person. I'm not someone who likes wearing pantsuits, or blazers, unless I can wear a jacket that goes well with tights. I'm not a suit sort of woman. I look awful in a suit. It makes me look ridiculous.

So yes, I'm not into debates. I had a high school education where they had a debate society but I never joined. I think it might have been helpful in some way but because I don't crave confrontation of any sort, I never cared to know what secrets debate society members learn.

I'm a quiet girl, someone who rather likes to do knitting, or crocheting. Writing is the game I do. I rather do that than do some sort of boxing sort of meme. I did think I might like to exercise with the kickboxing craze but that waned from my repertoire. I think if I were younger that could have been ok but I'm afraid it's not for me now. I rather meditate, contemplate, ruminate, and think with someone who's willing to talk about the sort of things people think about - just sharing one's own outlook about life and its humourous aspects.

There are times that I get fed up of course. I'd go off and have a private rant somewhere where nobody can hear me. But that's about it.
