When I got dumped by my evil husband 6 years ago, I weighed 120lbs, and in short order I went from that to 90lbs because I was so depressed. I now weigh 110lbs and there I stay. You are right about the personality change. When I dove to 90 pounds I was a strange person...stranger than I am now. Losing weight fast seriously puts a zap on your brain and personality.

Speaking of my evil husband. Because of that idiot I can't watch shows like Stargate SG-1, or the movie Day after Tomorrow, and a few others because his name is in the credits. Any movie he does I can't watch it because I don't want to give that prick any satisfaction...I don't want to give him any money...the bastard!

There we were, sitting on the beach in Hawaii, on the Kona Coast. The sun was sinking beautifully and dramatically on the horizon, and it was gearing up to be a very good sunset. The air was sweet and warm, and there I sat, with the love of my life, the man I had been married to for 7 years. Life was good, and we were both professionals and making a killing in our careers. I thought at that moment that it would be grand to have a child…the time was right. That moron pulled me out of my daydream with an “I love you, but I think I should be single” speech. I just looked at him, not knowing what to say, and wondering where the hell this came from. I started wondering what I did wrong. To make a long story short. I raped him good during the divorce and got half of everything…I spared no expense during this divorce, but in the process, I went crazy, and lost my mind. I still think I’m a little off. Men!! You give them your life and soul, and they use your heart like a piece of toilet paper and then dump you. Kill 'em all I say.

Umm…sorry for the rant…got carried away.

How many times can you walk into a shiny new fandom and find a thread like this?

Rant?

Let me tell you about my mother...

On second thought, if I do that, I'll never sleep tonight.

Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down... tells you she's hurting before she keels.

Makes her a home.

I am not sad! Damnit! Why am I not sad? This sucks! Somebody fix this! Make a crack about my mom or something! I can't fit in here if I'm not sad.

Why must I be optimistic?

Oh, hey, how many wrong ways am I allowed to take that in without you hurting me?

I don't go about hurting people. This is the rant and rave room so rant your heart and soul out.

My contract-boss micromanages.

Except when he refuses to give his opinion on something because he wants us to take initiative. Then when we do, he slices the idea to ribbons. Then about half the time, two or three months later, he proposes the idea as if he had it all by his sweet self. (The ideas that would let us work smarter never seem to get "suggested" again.)

My contract-boss wants us to interact with other co-workers and the engineers, sharing information.

Except when we're asking too many questions and not reading the handbook (which is about as easy to unerstand as your average VCR manual from the 80s). Then we're supposed to read the aforementioned poorly-written handbook, or come to the boss - who's also commented that he's got so much stuff to do, he's there twelve hours a day, he never sees his toddler or wife.

My contract-boss complains that people don't have enough information about the products they document, or our departmental procedures, or the tools we use.

Except when he turns down highly qualified candidates and hires people who have no experience with our primary tool or with the company's primary operating system...and asks them where all their documents are one week later.

My contract-boss wants us to handle the day-to-day operations, while he provides longer-term planning.

Except when he completely takes over a major document and stops giving us long-ranging information from the managers' staff meeting - then gets upset at us for not providing longer-term information to the entire group.

I'm not overly worried about getting dooced because I represent half of the knowledge in this group because half the team quit in the last six months. I haven't even been there a year, and I'm considered an "old timer".

Join me now in a primal scream of great proportions...

(...and thank you for letting me borrow the soapbox.)

Another Rant.
I guess I don't fit in with the heavy hitters of this Firefly board, even though I never attempted to be a heavy hitter. I guess I'm not as serious, or rational, or logical, or as mature as these serious Firefly fans that are stomping around here.

My bad, I guess that even though I desire to be a wordy Citizen, or a plucky Seryn, I'll always just be River, with all the flaws that come with her. Sue me.
