I ask people for feedback about my music and then when they point out an area where they see room for improvement, it really stings. There is an initial queasy feeling. I don't even know how to totally break it down into components. It is part embarrassment (I guess because I sent them something flawed and I'm supposed to be perfect :dunno:) Sometimes I know right away the feedback is correct and so there may be frustration/disappointment because I have spent a lot of time on something and now I am going to have to do it all over. There is even more to it than that though. It is a complex sting.

I know about the sting and I brace myself for it intellectually - but it still comes.

Then there is a gradual process of integrating the feedback into my psyche and deciding if it has merit and - if it does - (and it does more often than not) - ultimately realizing that I have just learned something very valuable and my project has just gotten better.

This seeking of feedback is something I absolutely must do - not just with music but with many things - but man.

I find it slightly odd how my brain works sometimes. Not sure if this is a universal experience or not. Probably.

If there is something I want to remember, I am a lot more likely to remember it if I say it out loud.

Like maybe I am creating a computer file which I want to be numbered consecutively from some existing files. So I look at those files and see that my new file will need to be A49 (or whatever). But there are a few set-up steps to be taken first so it will be half a minute before I actually apply that name.

If I just try to remember, there is a fair chance I will end up having to go back and double-check what my number is supposed to be.

But if I actually say it out loud, I'm a lot more likely to remember it.

It's like it echoes through the ether or something.

Hmm. I repeat them in my head. I definitely don't say them out loud though.

But maybe that's just because I've become accustomed to doing it that way. I'm often working with lists of numbers...

I remember how to multiply because my punishment in middle school was having to write pages of multiplication (from 1X1 to 12 X 12) tables after school for being a smartass during class.

I spent a fair amount of time in after school "detention".
 
I caught the commissioner of our office pick 'em pool cheating. And I called him out on it with a thread that was emailed to every player.

Turns out that the commish of a CBS Sports Pick 'Em has superpowers - they can switch their picks mid-game. He's done it 3 times over the last 2 weeks.

Shit is gonna hit the fan boys. A couple of VP's are playing with us, including his own. I don't think he's gonna be fired or anything, but at the same time, what he did is plain fraud/theft.

People are dumb.
 
:lol: I didn't snitch. I called him out. Everyone has invested 200 bucks in this league.

Guy is the leader and I'm second, one pick behind.

Starting to think that he has privileged access to everyone's picks before gametime.

Cheating fucking cunt.
