following rules |
It can be tough to follow rules and listen to constructive
criticism, but sometimes, if you want to keep your job, you have
little choice...

that is a shame, because getting drunk or stoned at work is
something that I often have the urge to do... at my job though, even
caffeine can make me laugh too much...

Alvin. In all seriousness, does it ever occur to you that there might
be any problems with constantly getting drunk and stoned other that
that "old fashioned" "conventional" society frowns on these healthful,
joy-filled activities? OK, I stopped being completely "serious" toward
the end there, but you know what I mean. Do you really believe it's
just "a shame" that you can't be drunk and stoned all the time? Do you
really believe that getting drunk and stoned constantly is healthy,
specifically for those who are mentally ill to begin with?
Oh, and for the record, since you have no way of knowing, I've spent
far too much of my life in both states, often simultaneously, so it's
not like I have no idea what I'm talking about here.

no, I'm sure it's not healthy all the time, like most things... I
didn't mean that I felt that way all the time, and that I don't have
other feelings about it as well, I just mean that it's how I feel
sometimes... and I wouldn't want to be drunk or stoned all the time...
that's one of the problems with our culture these days... it's either
all or nothing, all about extremes, instead of trying to find the
middle ground...

I just reacted that way because you wax romantic about drugs and
alcohol rather frequently here, and it seems not to have occurred to
you that regular drug or alcohol use might be a specifically unhealthy
thing for people in general and depressoids in particular. And, no,
I'm not talking about a glass of wine with dinner, and no, I'm not
saying you have an obligation to give "equal time" to making public
service announcements about The Dangers of Demon Alcohol every time
you mention that you're in the mood for a delicious Spaten Premium.
It's just that you bring it up in this lah-dee-dah boy-too-bad-I-can't-
work-drunk that-would-be-so-much-fun way that sounds extremely naive
and, well, kind of drives me crazy, as a person well-acquainted with
the hazards of substance abuse.

yeah, it's funny, I was just thinking about this again yesterday...
I think it has a lot to do with that "old fashioned" idea that I bring
up a lot... It's funny that people think that I'm trying to change
other people when I talk about being "old fashioned"... I maybe trying
to challenge some of the more extreme conservative elements in certain
people, but as you and Fred pointed out a while ago, in a lot of ways,
I myself am very old fashioned, for lack of a better word... I have a
lot of ideas that are creative, but I'm not very good at translating
my ideas into concrete reality... when I talk about being creative and
experimental and innovative and wanting excitement etc, I'm really
talking to myself, and about changing MYSELF, more then any other
person, though I can understand if people don't see it that way...
there's only so much you can understand about a person over the
internet...

What??? Are you paying *any* attention to what I'm saying at all?
Because it looks to me like you're just using my post as a launch pad
for one of these canned speeches you give all the time, and in this case
there's no apparent connection whatsoever. Unless you think the idea
that there's anything problematic with drug addiction is just "old
fashioned", "conservative" thinking, which I actually fear you might.

Come on Mark, didn't you know we all have you down as an old fashioned
conservative? There's nothing to be afraid of, just take this
opportunity to come out of the sideboard and you'll feel your underpants
unknot.
