unless you're a colombian drug dealer

Am I the only one who realizes that once you've decided on a career choice and landed a job paying more than 7.50 an hour, you should definitely NOT be selling drugs to your fellow employees, and especially not to your boss? Even if there's no chance, in your mind, of him getting fired. Because if something happens and he does get fired, who's to say he's not going to take you down with him?? This all just seems like common sense to me, and yet to so many other people I know, it's the silliest theory ever. You know what, I hope that people like that don't get burned, but when they do get burned (and eventually they will), hopefully it will be the last time they sell drugs to their blatantly unstable bosses.

A small time dealer, call him a middle man, is still a dealer.

Of late, I am being frequently reminded that the words I am saying are not being taken in the ways I had intended. I am, of course, concerned that by not always thinking before I speak, I am offending people unintentionally, however I am also beginning to think that certain people are hearing what they want to hear and filling in the rest. How is it possible to always communicate exactly what I'm meaning when all I have to use is language? It's almost unfair. Especially when the people that are listening can be so daft and self-righteous. Some might say this argument is yet another grand example of me being an asshole, but I don't always have to do things to make other people happy, and I don't always need to explain everything about myself.

I'm also getting some sort of weird throat/ear infection (that's my own med school background diagnosis), which I'm sure I should have checked out by a certified doctor, but unless I start running a fever or lose my hearing, I'll be self medicating at home. With my dog. Who is freaking adorable!
