a small fortune
This is what happens when you don’t know how to negotiate.
(But look, 23 is my lucky number.)

and all of a sudden
i started pondering on your name
and i'm wondering
if less IS a possibility
and if it is
then
how little is enough
to be content
and why need to
ask for more
.
just a thought
.
thanks always
Ah, well... Sissy, they got it! Yay!
Although from my perspective, having such a partner (purdner) on the team, i know i couldn't ask for more... So let's say there are exceptions :-)
PS. For the record, the phrase was "stolen" from Douglas Coupland's "Generation X", it landed on that little painting i did that you see in my profile, and from there on our blog as a title! Sissy likes it too...
It is compelling, like any question you don't really want to go to extremes to answer.
It took me a month to understand that fortune (the cookie is long gone), but to me, now, it's just a matter of bringing home the bacon. I don't have to work very hard or make very much to have a decent life out here in the provinces. But I'm proud of what I do and I don't want to be bullied into giving it away for less than what it's worth.
It's harder, but sometimes righter, to ask for more than to settle for less. Less is a possibility, since we're being philosophical about it, but not the only one.
Happy Thursday.
Ok, forget it, they didnt get it...
Existential gravity, the probability of less... I think they do get it, Steph (mou). All the good stuff lies somewhere in the gray zone between philosophy and... practical matters.
But prospects are always good. Congrats, M!
Well, "existential gravity" is a phrase i dont understand, sorry, i don't read much.
I'm aligned with BR here, I think (unless i don't get his comment).
One's (unnatural) desire for more, always more, usually leads to misery. So other possibilities should be considered. That's all it means to me.
Happiness often stems from being able to know what one really needs and wants in life.
Knowing what you want. Very important... Sissy (mou). And having it...
"what is mou? :)"
- Memorandum of Understanding,
- The sound a cow makes,
- other stuff too...
"...for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot..."
No, not really...
"i'm too shy to express my sexual needs except over the phone to people i don't know"
And thank God for that...
PS.
There's been a little misunderstanding here, i am afraid.
"less is a possibility" only concerns material goods, cars, boats, watches, money.
For the other stuff, the real stuff, one should never stop, never compromise, never give up. Less is not a possibility. More, all, is.
In my book, anyway...
Geez, Steph, you drive a hard bargain!!
