So?
Honestly, I am not anyone who should be in a position of authority, I've decided. I see everyone's point of view, which makes everything a giant clusterfuck whenever there is disagreement.
My thought processes are like hamsters in those wheelie things, round and round and round.
Thought #1: Humph, I don't like that, I must put a stop to it.
Thought #2: Oh wait, someone has made a reasoned argument that it's really okay.
Thought #3: But someone else has pointed out the fallacy in that argument and restated my original position.
Thought #4: Oops, now people are getting upset. Time to put on my emperor clothes and make a grand statement.
Subthought #4a: Let me read and reread everything so I get a full understanding. Crap, now I should just shutup, but I can't cos if I do, things will get worse.
Thought #5: Well doublecrap, now I've made everything much much worse. Me shut up now.
Thought #6: Now I will go back and restate what I said, and hope someone thinks I am smart. Or kind. Or actually give a shit.
I should really just wander round nude, in an apple barrel, with a big foam rubber finger on my head.
PS. This is not my weekly writing. I just needed to dance.

LOL ~ you just described my thought process on most current affairs
Life would be so much easier if viewed only in black and white, but ahhh ~ how much we'd miss out on!
Well, if you go around naked you will be able to wear those really special emperors clothes that only the loyal subjects can see. Don't do it in front of small children though.

Whee, you sure can dance (nice shoes, but the barrel is not your color).
i do the same thing with the kids (a) stop that! (b) ok - well, don't do it in here (c) stop that again! (d) don't make your brother cry, etc, etc, etc.
Well, you sure seem more thoughtful than I am, but since you just described my own deer-in-the-headlights approach to things, maybe you're just more articulate. I could use a lesson in logic before I re-enter an argument with any hope of winning.
I think you and I have the same management style. Doesn't it suck (the clusterfuck feeling of spinning down the drain, not the impetus to see all sides, which is good -- I think)?
You are a nut.
You probably wouldn't even be expected to think or talk if you walked around in an apple barrel with a foam finger on your head.
People would just leave you alone.
yes.
Your first thought was correct, stop doubting yourself so much.I definitly need to be in a position of athority.Why? Because I see everyones point of view.
