Dear Poison Dwarf,

You have apparently lost your mind.  After what you did to me this afternoon I have come to the conclusion that you are mentally unstable and somewhat deranged.

I'm not basing my opinion on just this afternoon's little incident.  I'm basing it on your consistent behaviour over the past few weeks.

You seem to have my husband's role a little confused.  You're mistaking him for someone who gives a fuck about you...you seem to think that he's your substitute husband, your boyfriend, your significant other.  You don't seem to understand that you WORK for him, and that's where your association ends.  He's not your supervisor, compadre, or even your acquaintance.  He doesn't care about what you do on your time off, he only cares that you show up to work and do what you're told to do.  You are not his equal, you are not his peer.  He outranks you, and you really should remember that.

You should also take what he tells you seriously.  You should listen when he tells you that he doesn't care what you think of him, that he's really not interested in your opinion.  He's not.  You, m'dear, are a pain in his ass.  When he comes home from work, he complains about you.  He doesn't like you, and he's slightly incredulous that you think he's there to take care of you.  He's also slightly irritated that you think you can run the show in his office.  You're not there because you're good at your job, honey.  You're there because you have issues and your unit didn't know where else to put you.  So, get any delusions of grandeur out of your head, and get them out quickly - before someone else has to remove them for you.

Speaking of delusions.....lets talk about your attitude towards me, shall we?  I don't know who the heck you think you are, but I'm here to tell you that if you ever speak to me the way you spoke to me this afternoon again I'm going to go to your superintendent and complain.  You had no reason to be rude to me the way you were.....you knew damn well who I am.   You not only were rude, you were disrespectful too.  Bad idea.  See, my husband's loyaties lie firmly with me.  With ME, and with his kids.  Not with you.  Not even a little bit.  You shouldn't have done that to me, or to him.  See, it wasn't just me you were rude to, it was him as well.  So, when he told you not to do that anymore, he wasn't just talking about not doing that to me.  He was talking about not doing that again, period.

You've made a mistake in making an enemy out of me, chickie.  I'm on a first name basis with everyone in your department.  I've got a good rapport with them, they know me.  They also know my husband, and the kind of relationship we have.  They know that I've done a lot in the name of his job, that both he and I have gone above and beyond to facilitate his duty needs.  If I were to go to your superintendent and complain about you, he wouldn't just look at me like I was jealous.  He'd know that something had happened, that you'd been out of line somehow. 

You could have had me in your corner, honey.  All of the other chicks that he's worked with in the past have had me on their side. Heck, I even went and partied with those girls.  Not you, though.  You've suceeded where others have failed.  You've not only irritated my husband, but you've irritated me too, and it really takes a lot to do that.

So, let's go over this again so's you don't forget it, shall we?  My husband does not give a fuck about what you do away from the office.  He's not your friend, your buddy, your pal.  He's not your husband, fiancee, significant other.  He's not even your supervisor or your peer.  He's the guy you work FOR, not with.  You don't need to call him at home to tell him how you're feeling, because he doesn't care.  You don't need to treat his wife like shit, because not only does that piss him off, it pisses me off....and being married yourself, you should know that if a man's wife isn't happy, he's not going to be happy either. 

You need to check your attitude at the door, and do your fucking job.  Don't try to be his friend, his confidante.  Don't try to usurp me.

Are we clear?

Hey D is that you on your thumbnail? I can't see it very well

Yep, that's me.  Here's the full size version:



I'm about 10 lbs heavier now...but that's all going to change with the JU diet club!

I dint mess things up between me and you did I?

Now why would you think that Elie? Because of the mailing address thing? Don't be silly. If I was offended by that I'd have told you. I'm not, I totally understand your reluctance...especially because you've had a horrible experience in the past. It's cool, so don't worry about it.


thank you... just remember us Jews do guilt better than allllllll the rest.

I would like to see a competition between a jewish mother and an Italian one.  Now that would be a great contest!

Do I really? Hmm. I don't hear that very often.

Aww, thanks! I don't like it though. I mean, I thought that I wanted to be heavier, but now that I'm here....I don't care for it much.


Hehehehehehehe.


You liked that, huh?! I was a 'Dallas' reference...when Dallas was on in the UK, there was a DJ who used to call Lucy Ewing 'The Poison Dwarf'. This chick sort of reminds me of her. Short, and bitchy.

I'll keep my distance from italian and jewish mommas having a guilt-fest, thank you very much. I have enough guilt as it is....

That's because nothing really DOES change. It's life, T. People are the way they are, they react the same to the same stimuli - it's all conditioned responses. We are much more Pavlovian than we care to admit.

On a cellular level we're different. In a broader sense....we're the same.

Oh, and I've missed YOU.

life never changes, you're right, but contextually our understanding of life always changes. as ive blathered before, when you think about who you were a minute ago, you're thinking of someone else.

er.

(kidding. I don't wish her any physical harm, I just want her to leave him and me alone. And apologize. And kiss my shoes. After I've been kicking dog poo around in them.)

My mom could instill guilt in Jesus for bleeding on "that nice cross"

She could instill guilt with a glance, not a word spoken, now remember I grew up with roman catholics {Sicilians} they were armatures compared to Jewish mothers.
