The Couch 115: Corduroy Pillows Are Making Headlines!

Unless they are wrong, of course.

Then one may sit back and look upon the other with haughty derision, shake one's head at the folly of human kind, and go back to sipping port in a club chair.

It was cute as heck because I'm cute as heck.

Actually, this one better reflects my newfound and completely unexpected interest in 19th century whaling. Plus, more gravitas!

So there's a new 'position' being created at work within my department, I'm interested in it because it would get me off the phones and I'd be doing something that I enjoy doing (it's a Communication Specialist type thing, writing and sending out important communications to our center) the only reason I haven't applied yet is that it's not an actual position/job, it's just a different duty kind of thing - an increase in responsibilities but with no pay increase, no title change, and I'd lose the opportunity for bonus. What it would be good for is my internal resume, if an actual position comes available for something like this. I am torn on whether I should go for it or not. I think I probably will, because I can always ask if I get an interview if there is a potential for it becoming an actual higher-paying position in the future... I don't know. I'm torn.... maybe I'll see if I can meet with my old supervisor about it I bet he'll have some good advice for me!

Have a good day/night couchies!!

I am baffled at the notion of a therapist appearing authentic and real as being a positive thing. Of course they are going to try to do such a thing - Acting.
I just don't see whether they are authentic or not makes a difference as long as the client is willing to go along with whatever thing the therapist is selling or manipulating.
If I believed the woman believed even a quarter of the crap she says, I would be horrified.

Poor therapists.

Maybe it will inspire me to finally read the story of the big white whale. Moby you know what

That I should have lived to see this day...

I prefer not to see therapists as real people. It means I have to deal with the people instead of focusing on the therapy. Which seems counterproductive.

I am generally in favour of other people having and expressing opinions.

A facebook friend of mine posted a question today in her FB feed, roughly "What is the opinion you have that most often tends to provoke other people?" And I thought (but did not answer) "How on earth would I know?"

I know, I know! "You're wrong." Altho this probably says more about the opiner. Who in this case hates being wrong and projects that onto other people. Kim Kardashian might say, her telling other people they are not photogenic. But I would be surprised if this were indeed the impetus of this question.

I would prefer not to.
The only Melville I could slog through was Bartleby the Scrivener. And, if not for the impressive passive aggressiveness of Bartleby, even that would have been tough going.
I skimmed Moby D and could not for the life of me figure out what the big deal was. Ahab just needed to drink some calming chamomile tea and get a grip (or to follow group wisdom here - talk to his therapist about how the whale made him feel). Melville needed an editor.

Hell is freezing over.

I was being sarcastic.

Oh, BY I am sorry to hear that!

So sorry to hear that, BunYip!

I'm sorry BY. I hate it when I remember things that are said in session differently from what t purports to remember. It doesn't happen often, but it sucks when it does.

I'm sorry, that sucks. Is there any chance of convincing her to try setting a limit?

BY, I'm so sorry Is it something you can re-visit?

Yes, but did you know the end of Moby D is based on a real life event - the ramming and sinking by a huge sperm whale of the whaler Essex in mid-Pacific? Eight men survived, largely by homophagy (I'm using that word in case anyone finds the alternative upsetting).

Now I really have to read Moby D. Wanna do it together, unaluna? Think of how we could bore the rest of the Couch!

Couch book club! We allus have pictures of them big liberries- mark Twain would not have survived this phone's blasted spellchecker! - we might as well read one!
