Yeah, you can here. They straight up say it's cause the card says "male" and the kid doesn't look male.

Funny how it's a major pain to change what the card says anyhow. GO figure.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the person towards whom your disbelief should be directed:

This is one of those guys who made a fortune for Goldman Sachs by "shorting mortgages." That is, in plain English, he bet against your mortgages succeeding and basically rigged it so they would fail and so that when they failed, he would make a killing and you'd be screwed. He basically helped cause and certainly benefited from the mortgage crisis and contributed heavily towards screwing over the economy.

For these efforts, he made Goldman Sachs a mint. He got paid a bonus of $8,250,000 in one year alone. As if that wasn't enough, he said it wasn't enough: he's pissed and suing Goldman Sachs for not giving him MORE money. Keep in mind, this individual had been paid more than  Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs Lloyd C. Blankfein as a bonus in 2009....

So to review, he screwed us all, got very very rich off it and doesn't think he got rich enough, so he wants more for having screwed us.

Ah Greed, one of the seven deadly sins.

My dad believes anything can be done on the internet in no time at all...

Mom has a 1995 Ford Mustang convertible, which she doesn't appreciate at all. Somehow, she managed to screw it up and now it leaks from the top. Weatherstripping could fix this. The problem is that Ford doesn't make all of the parts needed.

They still make this one: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/LRS-51565B/94-04-Mustang-LH-Convertible-Top-Center-Weatherstrip

But they don't make this one: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/LRS-53987E/01-04-Mustang-LH-Convertible-Top-Front-Weatherstrip

Dad keeps pestering me to get it. It's going to take some fucking time and your only hope is aftermarket. There's not a whole lot to be done about that. Blaming me doesn't do shit.

Tried to go for a walk to gather and cool my thoughts etc....

Small woman with fairly large dog that is clearly too big for her to handle comes walking down the street from the other direction. This thing is pulling her everywhere and she has to full on dig in her heels and put all of her strength into restraining this mutt. The mutt is barking, jumping and pulling her like crazy....

I decide to just silently say screw it and start to turn around to just not deal with this crap. Evidently, this is not good enough.

She calls out for me to stop and "...just let us pass, cause he thinks you're in his space. He won't bite...."
My response is pretty simple "It's ok, I'll just go back where I came from and not bother you two (her and mutt)."
Her reply is pretty stupid, "Well that doesn't help me much."
Seeing this, I say, "You really need to control your animal, because if my leaving doesn't help...."

My first thought is somewhere close to being that it isn't my problem you can't control your animal.... I hate being right, because this thing breaks loose and tries to bite me. The dog is about 150 lbs, and pissed. She threatens to sue me after I kick it in the face and it runs off whimpering. I hand her my card and say "try it." By the way, your homeowner's insurance will probably force you to euthanize that dog if it knows you're now on notice that it is a biting hazard. I recommend a muzzle and obedience school. If there's nothing else...?"

I really don't like overprivileged people. Your dog doesn't trump a human being, especially if it is violent.

I am still not relaxed. Going to try and fix that. Will talk with police to head off any stupidity she may do. I don't want any action taken against the dog though (the dog warden would kill it).

Edit: overprivilledged, not "underprivileged" damn auto correct, doesn't recognize overprivilledged as a word.... Figures.

Perspective is everything. Knowing of Vector for a while, it surprises me people always make this assumption. I know this is all too common a thing that happens, but yeah....

In other news, I'm starting to get some small hold on mental situation where I take people too seriously when they criticize me.

Relapses still happen though. I still take people as meaning more than they should and let their criticism get to me. It used to really, really get to me when they would say I am a bad lawyer, or friend or son or whatever. It still does somewhat because it's a heap shot against me. Overall, I pit in TONS of effort and do all I can. Can't do more....

Damn depression. I was told to make a list of goals, things I look forward to, etc. List? I'm not coming up with one.

That has to be bullshit doesn't it? I mean sure, I've got issues with family, friends, work, and finding a significant other, largely due to only liking men etc, but that can't kill it all can it?

Feels like a cop out in some odd way.
