			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I declare to myself today: The next person to make fun of me for not having a job or to make a remark about my long education.  Yes.  This person.</p>
<p><strong>I am kicking them in the junk.</strong></p>
<p>Why is it Okay to make fun of me for not having a job just because the Mrs. has one, and the bills get paid?  What?  Oh?  It&#8217;s not.  Yeah.  It&#8217;s rude at best.  Mean on average.  It&#8217;s not as if I <em>like</em> not having a job.</p>
<p>And the education: making fun of.  &#8220;All that education and&#8230;&#8221;  Can you mask your jealousy and/or insecurity a little thinner?  Yes, I went to a lot of school.  Yes, I have a lot of non-practical knowledge.  Yes, I read a lot.  Yes, I think about things a lot.  You know, this might be more of a <em>good</em> thing than a bad thing.  I would be a jerk to make fun of people who didn&#8217;t go to college.  But I don&#8217;t have a chip on my shoulder wherein I have negative thoughts about people without stupid letters behind their names.  So I would have to fake it to make it up.  Maybe I have anti-higher-ed tendencies at times*, but those come from experience, not insecurity and/or jealousy.</p>
<p>Of course, there&#8217;s the defense when someone calls me &#8220;college boy&#8221; that they are just kidding.  Joking.  That I&#8217;m too sensitive and can&#8217;t take a joke.  Like insensitive people&#8217;s required standard of sensitivity means anything to me.</p>
<p>Well, fine.  My kick in your crotch is a joke, too.  Don&#8217;t be so fucking sensitive.</p>
