The funny thing about assumptions is that most of the time they're total bullshit and leave the person making them looking like an even bigger tool than they did before.

I'm not a big enough asshole to think that I'm some kind of hardass who doesn't need to know they're going a good job, I just happen to know that relying on a bunch of judgemental shitheads does fuck and all for you.

[she shrugs] I'm bitter about shit, but this crap isn't any of it. I don't need anyone's praise or approval but mine.
