Pocket Universe

#1: The fresh-brewed coffee at work always smells better than it tastes. Always. Without fail. There will never be a pot that is the exception, and I should accept this and stop thinking that every new pot will be the exception.

#2: Email, like dust bunnies, multiplies if the herd is not culled. This is true at work and at home. My packrat tendencies do not help me much with this matter.

#3: People do not get to dictate how they sound to me. Just because I'm twitchy and quick to judge certain tones as patronizing does not mean I have to defer to the speaker's assessment of hir own tone. My experiences are valid, and I am capable of coming to my own conclusions, even if it means stepping back and re-examining things. I should never ignore my twitch. Defense mechanisms exist for a reason.
