Kindness & Tolerance
Oct. 11th, 2025 09:48 amThis tax law stuff is hard.
Total immersion would be my style. Like throw yourself into it and do absolutely nothing else for 48 hours.
Except I think that's psychologically and physically unhealthy, so at a certain point in the afternoon—earlier & earlier now that the dark is creeping in earlier & earlier—I break to exercise.
And after I come back from exercising, it's extremely difficult to get my mind back into work mode.
Hence, I am behind schedule on the tax law stuff.
Not hopelessly behind. But enough behind so that it seems like my time is never my own.
###
Apart from that.
Adrienne got snippy with me yesterday because apparently I am not updating the Shawangunk Dems website quickly enough. If you can't do it, I'll find someone else...
Good luck with that, girlfriend!
I only volunteered to do it because no one else would. The website is hosted on Squarespace, a GUI template site, which I didn't know at all and so had to teach myself. And the person who had been doing the site disappeared more than a year ago, so there was nobody to onboard me plus it hadn't been updated in over a year.
I did briefly contemplate telling Adrienne, Go fuck yourself, beyatch, but didn't. She's under stress. I think some part of her knows she's not gonna win this campaign she's invested so much time & energy into. I mean, maybe she will! I've been wrong before. But my gut is saying, No.
Plus basically, I like Adrienne.
So, I did a little shit & Shinola dance, remarking mildly, Well, Adrienne, it's a lot of work, and you can't see the backend where most of the work is going on.
I must be as kind to and tolerant of others as I would have them be kind to and tolerant of me-ee-eee!
