For my part, I've replaced optimism and believing the best of people by default with a grin and the absolute 100% certainty that if they cannot find a pig to fuck, they will buy some bacon and play oinking noises on YouTube.

Oh, fuck.

I'm a fucking ARCHETYPE.

I goddamn knew something was funny about this whole thing.

:horrormirth:

This actually explains EVERYTHING. "Why, Nigel," I have asked myself, "why is it that your life is like a story too horrible to be true, and too horrible to be invented, and yet somehow you always seem to come out OK? What makes you so lucky?" It seems a little too good to be true, sometimes, but it's because as an archetype, it HAS to somehow come out OK so I can move on to the next stage. Neglected tot! Wild urchin! Lost teen! Sex worker with a heart of gold! Abused wife! Struggling single mom! What could the next act contain?

Scratch that. I don't want to know.

I'm guessing PTSD-ridden social worker, with a gigantic fucking caseload and no budget.

I'm NOT going the social work route, so that's out. Psych degree>Neuroscience program. So, something similar, only I'm going to guess PTSD-ridden brain trauma researcher, with an incredible breakthrough in neuroplasticity and no budget to develop it.

Like Cassandra.  Perfect prophet material, that is.

Thing to remember, as I have tried to explain to my boss, is that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train, it really IS daylight.  It's just that the tunnel is vertical...It's a well, and we're at the bottom of it.

For some reason, this failed to cheer him up.  :lulz:

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."
