Yesterday, I learned something else I suck at: meditating.

Tell me something you suck at so I'm not out here sucking at everything alone.

I suck at playing nice at fundraising events, especially with the uberwealthy. I know I have to because that's how we get money, but reminding myself of that fact usually pisses me off even more because I shouldn't have to suck up to people to convince them that women's safety and sanity is worth protecting.

oh dude. This one hurts. the way the world works is so fucked up.

[nola_beatrice]

Yeah. I have, on at least one occasion, found an unoccupied room and screamed into a pillow in the middle of an event. I used to go into the bathroom to vent and talk myself into doing what I have to, but I learned the hard way that that's risky in a multi-stall situation.

Why do I get the feeling that you’re an expert venter?

[nola_beatrice]

I'm an experienced one but not really a successful one; I usually only feel better for a few minutes before I'm back to chanting 'murder is bad' to myself.

I'm so good at talking people down from a vent, you should use my services.
