I guess I really need this job now, so let's get cracking.

I wonder if part of my desire to be a writer is my desire for the freedom to be myself.  ???  It's that or my utter dislike of authority.  >:-)

I know my fondness for writing comes from the thought of relying on, and being answerable to, no one but my own internal bull->-bleeped-<-ometre...as raymond chandler put it.

I also know it is a wonderful way of imaginatively exploring different parts of life. My narrator in my coming novel is a woman for example. My next narrator when I've done this novel (so about a years time then) lives in 17th century London, as I'd have liked. My last one had an imaginary friend and yearned for a girl called Alice Cooper.

I love it all.

God knows I like a joke as much as any of us and contributed to the hijacking of this thread. I am not seeking a political expression of our rights. I merely want to bring this thread back home by stating that androgynes and many others are misfits who could perform at a higher level if allowed to express their/our true selves.

I agree that we could perform better if we had the freedom to fully express our non binary gender nature. There is a cost to the stress of hiding oneself.

I've always thought that if you can create a situation where people were allowed to feel good about themselves, and to like the company for what it was giving them - in this case its really not much, a lack of a dress code, that you could get outstanding results from them.

And, since were fast getting to a point where we might as well, might as well, we, might as well.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

Ah.  You need to take that dysphoria out and give it a good beating!  Let it know who's boss!

I need to speak with the Human Resources person to see if the Director of Phenomenology is open? I have a life time of expierence inthis field. I'd be willing to do it on a contract basis.
I am expeienced in both physical and meta physical phenomenon and am capable of wrinting reports that even I don't understand.

This morning a mouse ran across my galley and the the sun rose again in the east. A cucumber is long and thin so that it can't be confused with a small watermelon.

There won't be a need for cleaning if you feed them their poop.
