She really did like me, the idiot.

I was expecting someone dark to play 'Dexter' - someone like Johnny Depp.

The first rejection that 'Dexter' got, I was like, 'OK. This hasn't worked. Let's try something else. I'll go get a teaching job or something.'

The audience isn't an idiot. The audience can figure out that the mayor didn't have an actual count. They reported what officials said, with no basis in fact to question that in any way. Are they not supposed to report it?

I find others, those who prey on the innocent and do not play by the rules, and I make them go away in small, carefully wrapped pieces.

Have you noticed how difficult it is just to get along in the world? If you're no good at all in your job, people treat you badly and eventually you will be unemployed. And if you're a little better than competent, everyone expects miracles from you, every single time. Like most of life, it's a no-win situation. And if you dare to mention it, no matter how creatively you phrase your complaints, you are shunned as a whiner.
