I try very hard not to get nitpicky and yet my Aspie traits do get in the way.  Given that I occasionally write stories set in the Trek Universe, I tend to focus on what words MEAN so that I can accurately describe/draw/paint with the written word the pictures that I see in my mind.  This is a challenge for me as I THINK IN PICTURES INSTEAD OF WORDS.  (Temple Grandin is the same way and I've been told that this is also an Aspie trait.)

Yesterday, my community was supposed to have a pool party and I was going to help with the grilling.  Well, Mother Nature chimed in and we got rained out.  The property management employee started designing notices to the community and we ended up bickering about semantics.  She wanted to say:  "Pool Party Canceled!"  I reminded her that we have a RAIN DATE so that the notice should say:  "Pool Party POSTPONED!" and emphasize the RAIN DATE.  She kept trying to insist that the word "canceled" and "postponed" mean the exact same thing.  WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING IN SCHOOL NOWADAYS?!?!?!?  She finally saw my point that if she announced "canceled" then NO ONE would show up on the RAIN DATE and printed out notices that say:  "POOL PARTY POSTPONED TO RAIN DATE!"

Sheesh!!!!!!

Talk about lousy timing!!!  I've been busy all week preparing for the community pool party and dealing with what I thought might be IBS as the spasms eased when I took Bentyl for it.  Then I started getting the feeling that it could be a combination of IBS and kidney stone, (been there, done that, NOT fun!)  Just before the community pool party was due to start, I got my confirmation that it was a kidney stone when it finally popped out!  Now it feels like the day I had the cystoscope done!  OWWWWWWWW!!!!!

Need to vent for a bit.

After doing what I could, when I could, where I could, during the week leading up to the pool party, at the last minute Mother Nature rained us out.  Fortunately, we had a Rain Date already planned so we posted notices, at the last minute, to inform the community that the party had been postponed to the following day.  One of the most logical places to post one of those notices was on the main front door to the building that has the pool as many people would be coming through that particular door.  I post a notice there before going home.  The next morning, I go over to the building to start preparations and discover that the neighborhood Busybody, who REFUSES to assist with ANYTHING, had RIPPED DOWN MY NOTICE AND SHOVED IT INTO A PLACE WHERE IT WAS GUARANTEED NO ONE WOULD SEE IT!!!  (She had been attempting to interfere all week while running her mouth that this pool party was going to FAIL!)  I placed the notice back where I had it and put more tape on it.  I was really aggravated at her constant interference.  One of these days she is REALLY going to pluck my FINAL nerve!

I'm drafting the following response to anyone who insists on plucking my last and final nerve:

Not on my time!

Not on my dime!

Not in my space!

Now GET OUTTA MY FACE!!!!
