If you have nothing good to say...

...just stay quiet.

If you aren't sure you can keep the resentment and sarcasm away from a so called work conversation; just stay quiet.

If you realise that people talking aren't really looking for a solution, but someone to blame; just stay quiet.

If you feel a little abandoned in the mines of "endless slugging around"; just dig in and keep quiet.

But when someone tells you "it will all be ok in the end, sweetheart"; don't be quiet, smile and say "thank you sweetie". Because really, the rest is just smoke and fog to what really matters.



(I'm having a tempted time of going to the place where I don't want to go, i.e. "not caring as much" but since this would mean I'm not really doing as good of a job I need to find a happy medium of "working enough" and "sleeping through the night and not staying up tossing and turning until 3 am thinking about work and what needs to be done and protecting yourself etc etc etc". Now go and read Monday madness if you haven't, that might make a better Tuesday Tiresome story?

UPDATE: I think this article really shows how complicated things are and that indeed these laws being passed all over the US are more than "just unfortenate" or "to protect the unborn children"... http://www.texasobserver.org/cover-story/the-right-not-to-know )
