There is always a first time




I assume that's the basis of our relationship: arguing..
Not sure if it was a moment of pity or you just couldn't allow such obscenities in writing. But thanks pal. Really appreciated.
The use of words...


Darlings... what I'm referring to is the annoying task 3 times a year to fill a review.
It's a time consuming task, that becomes my worst nightmare.
Diplomacy is not my skill, despite I understand how my relationships with people will improve exponentially, I'm just not capable of it. My stupid reasoning for it is that being diplomatic is using one's intelligence to manipulate others.

Now that I start believing that being diplomatic is actually more rewarding than knowledge, can't really master the art.
Hence - this place is shit, people haven't got courage ( because you see.. you also have to rate people on courage) .... needs to get translated into something like, it could be helpful to blablabla.... the blablabla takes me weeks to figure out , still reads very undiplomatic.... so... i always ask for help.

I can have a symposium on why reviews are a waste of time, mine, my friends' and everybody else's.
But they are useful, because companies are then allowed to fire you, managers which being lazy haven't got a clue on what people they manage do and get a clearer idea , it's also a mean via which you can sell yourself, well you have to, otherwise they think they can get away with giving you a bunch of worthless shares at the high price of the year, which you have to keep for 4 year be taxed 40% on them, well they are like a 1/4 apple rotting in your pocket. Still they lose billions and get away with a couple of hundreds milion...
Oh well.. I shall stop.

Darling, I love editing your reviews. It reminds me of why I never went into the Foreign Office. And why I had to go freelance.....

i would be very concerned if we didn't get into a strop with each other at least 3 times at year, accompanied by the obligatory few weeks of silent treatment. followed by a brief honeymoon period that inevitably ends when i lose my rag and start, how do you put it, ``abusing you.''
