I've read some of her stuff, and I love her. Its great to see and hear her! I believe my sister has autistic traits. I like that she presents autism as just another way of thinking, often a gifted way of thinking.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02031088973944663332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313642679904009040.post-86591165474456194142010-05-12T23:38:41.217-05:002010-05-12T23:38:41.217-05:00I. have. been. there. in that same office, only o...I. have. been. there. in that same office, only on the west coast in Vancouver.<br /><br />I. have. been. there. in a kindergarten class where my teacher told me I wasn't ALLOWED to read (though I could read and comprehend my mom's magazines).

As usual, I was animated and chatty, and we talked about kids (I don't have any, by choice), and my supervisor muttered, "Yeah. You are way too hyper to have kids." I resisted the mighty urge to throw my salad with feta and dried cranberries (delicious by the way) across the room and yell, "DO I REALLY THREATEN YOU THAT MUCH?!?!?" Cripes, how unhappy do I have to pretend to be, how uncomfortable in my own skin does she need me to appear, before she can stop worrying? I've had my high energy and chattiness mistaken for immaturity and lack of discipline before, and I'm done trying to mollify people who can't stand that I actually demand to be happy in my own life. <br /><br />(And not for nothing, since when is being low-energy a good thing when dealing wiht kids?)JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02031088973944663332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313642679904009040.post-69747393804300538952010-05-08T20:52:41.186-05:002010-05-08T20:52:41.186-05:00Hi again,

It's also lack of imagination, inability to think outside the box, (combine the two and have inability to even imagine there is a box), also most if not all people imagine they're smarter than all others. People like your boss or teacher combine all of the above,I think, probably plus others. I had a fifth grade teacher that yelled at me for reading the dictionary when I'd go look up a word, but she also rewarded me with a Heath candy bar for spelling a arithmetic correctly, not all are mindless buroughcrats. Fortunately. Hang in there...<br /><br />Lee MurrayLee Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15519259832655076686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313642679904009040.post-55946543903365928362010-05-07T23:05:06.495-05:002010-05-07T23:05:06.495-05:00Thanks, Carey; I hope I was worthy of your break t...Thanks, Carey; I hope I was worthy of your break time! (My earlier entries are actually more interesting, I think - Chicago was fresh and new and I wasn't in a rut).<br /><br />I just don't understand why it's so hard for people to be a little bit flexible. My theory is that too few people seek out change in their life, so they see change as a threat rather than an adventure, or an opportunity fr s nice surprise.<br /><br />What is a "TV lit agent"?JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02031088973944663332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313642679904009040.post-8661605269826765482010-05-07T13:16:35.301-05:002010-05-07T13:16:35.301-05:00I feel your pain.

It's currently staffing season, so it's a nightmare, so busy that I had to take a break and read a quick blog. It's nice to know I'm not the only creative person going through administrative hell! You're a beautiful writer, by the way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903402343670493594noreply@blogger.com
