Not creepy in the slightest, Bryn.

I've been sucked into a Board Room war that gossip suggests is worth high 10's of millions of pounds. On Saturday I was told that I was allegedly in possession of evidence of wrongdoing on the part of one side of the war. The other side of the war wanted said evidence and I spent a lot of the long weekend discussing my options with a lawyer and writing statements. Not a happy bunny. I was supposed to spend that long weekend enjoying one of our first breaks in our new house. It was meant to be a new dawn and all that but no, my stupid crazy job has to get in the way. They ain't paying me enough for this shit.

I am the duke of decorum.

And they tell you you are obligated to tell them if they've hit your battleship, but you're really not. I often just lie all together and say they've missed all my ships.

(There's a supportive morale there, hidden beneath my usual self).

How exactly is one supposed to feel upon finding out that the family secrets department has a skeleton closet containing an actual skeleton?

[worry]

Sounds awesome. After all, everybody has a skeleton inside them waiting to get out.

I'm the youngest child by 11 years. It's turning out that I am also the most oblivious child by any measure. Skype and an Aunt who doesn't hesitate in speaking her mind is an illuminating combination.

Thanks for the support but I'm singing like a canary! The other side of the war go their claws into me today. There is nothing more dangerous than a poor woman with nothing to lose. My strategy is to tell all sides the truth - I will terrify them with my honesty. I'm incorruptible (or stupid). Either way at least I'm consistent.

Be careful. Truth is amorphous and malleable. Stick to facts. Yes, no, I don't know.

This is my approach. It works in so far as nobody can blame you except for complaining that you didn't lie for them, and really, if someone is trying to pull THAT card, what sort of person are they? Satan? ()

And this is good advice given the above. No interpretation unless it is unquestionable.

Mum is usually the word I go by in these situations. If you start to talk, you involve yourself. It also puts you at risk of interpretations, as pointed out above, as well as scheming and positioning. Unless you fully involve yourself in the conflict, you often lose control over your own role in the conflict. At best you may create a block of your own, as Mez is trying to do, but you would still very much be part of the conflict. While not completely immune to it by going silent, the odds are more in your favour of the warring parties to ignore you.

Choose your battles. Unless you're prepared to fully immerse yourself in this and you play to win, my suggestion is to opt out.

I so really, really want to pull out my backing from a kickstarter project...

[Puck]

I'm wondering whose brilliant idea it was to change the name tags at the mail boxes and the front door of the house.. and to conveniently forget my name Hey, stupid, I'm legally living here and it's not like I chose to have a different surname than my mom

Ah, somehow this seriously messes with my groove.

Also, I have a new neighbour, and I hate him already. I was hoping for some nice quiet old lady, but what do I get? As usual, a noisy party-liking omg-I'm-moving-into-my-first-own-place-that's-still-being-paid-by-my-parents idiot.. Great.

Also, it's town fair, and I was woken up my some drunks running around with whatever passes as the modern equivalent of a ghetto blaster at 3am last night Fuck off, idiots! Get lost! As if there weren't enough idiots in this town already..

[Gothos]

I was *extremely* sleepy and fatigued all day yesterday. I must've slept through like 16-18 hours overall, and could barely stand up. Today it's better but still rather fatigued and slower-than-usual thinking. And I've no idea where it's coming from... grr.

Just shout " I'm Spartacus! " any time anyone asks you something war related... people will get confused and leave you alone

I managed to double book my acommodation. Initially thought that I'd gotten a great deal on a 4 star hotel, but now it looks like an outlay of roughly 250 pounds for one night. Ouch!

[Gothos]

what kinds of food poisoning are there?
that weakness of body again. and again after eating my admittedly awesome home-made spaghetti sauce. I'm starting to suspect the flour I'm using might've gone bad some weeks/months ago...

[Ain't_It_Just_]

Need to redraft this 3000 word assignment due tomorrow. It's better than having to do it all at the last minute but still.

[A Demon Llama!]

Lost my job.

[Adjutant Stormy~]

Haven't been on the forum for a while, but I figured put what my dad is doing when he's not concerned about me getting home-

I found his prescription for viagra...........

Yeeeeah.......

[Solidsnape]

Somehow got roped into watching the ladyboys of Bangkok last night.
Wasn't really my cup of tea, and I'll not be hurrying back.
