So, if you’re “over it”, why post a bitch about it?
That’s a lie. IIIIIIIII don’t like you.
Congrats, ass-kisser.
EMPIRICAL GROUNDS?
So are we to assume that her jealousy is based on the fact that you show up on time and do a good job? Clearly, you are implying that she doesn’t show up on time and do a good job. But more is required than your simple attribution of jealousy based on the “fact” that you show up on time and do a good job and she doesn’t. What is required are empirical or factual grounds to support your charge.
Are you familiar with the laws of libel, of bearing false witness? Do you have her address so that I can offer my services as legal counsel? Write back soon.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
People only feel jealous of others who are doing what they could be doing. I might not be jealous of Sidney Crosby’s success because I recognized early on that no matter how hard I worked I didn’t have enough natural talent to make the NHL. However, I may have a twinge of jealousy if a colleague works harder than me and gets promoted to be my boss (bastard!). Jealousy teaches you a lot about yourself.
I am envious of people who have a lot of hair.
can’t think of anything I am jealous about. or envious apart from the hair business.
^^ Are you talking hairy armpits or legs?
i was very vain about my long, gorgeous red hair when i was younger, and used it for nefarious purposes, so the avenging atropos made sure i lost it all.
i am rocking the jean luc picard look nowadays ( NOT )
if i had underpit hair i would attempt a smelly comb-over.
Oh oh, I’d best go and hide lest Molly gets ahold of my long locks and makes a wig, lol.
I keep doping your coffee m’dear but the dogs keep knocking it over.
one of these days….
“Inventory:
“Four be the things I am wiser to know:
Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.
Four be the things I’d been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.
Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
Three be the things I shall have till I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.”
― Dorothy Parker
