Hubris-The Driving Rain

Jun26
by on June 26, 2024 at 7:34 pm

Well, it’s been a while.

Sorry about that.  I honestly had no idea so many things were going to burst in upon me like that, and something had to give.

So… Back to the story.  The rain continues unabated, and our heroes (Durnell, Ziggy, and Clem) have been driving in the driving rain for hours to get to a spot that was supposed to be an easy jaunt.  Oh, well…  That’s a road trip for you.  Ziggy knows the way, so they’ll be fine.

Just fine…”Providence permittin’ and the creeks don’t rise”, as the local folk say.

Hubris- Piles

Feb16
by on February 16, 2024 at 4:55 pm
Chapter:

So, things are piling up for the guys.

Problems with navigation, problems with language, problems with optical acuity… and gastrointestinal integrity.  Problems with interpersonal communication and patience…

Nothing a good therapist couldn’t work them through, given a few weeks of sessions and proper insurance.

Hubris- For Reasons

Nov29
by on November 29, 2023 at 8:41 pm
Chapter:

Well, the guys seem to have made up their minds after carefully weighing the alternatives.

The alternatives apparently are “which way to spell two names that sound exactly alike”?

Frankly, it’s hard to see why Clem is even concerned.  See?

Hubris- A Tramp Abroad

Jun07
by on June 7, 2023 at 3:33 am
Chapter:

Clem’s got himself discharged, if you believe his story.

And he’s a resourceful man.  Of course he’s going to make sure he’s got a handy pair of eyes… so long as he’s got something to lord over Durnell.   I’m sure if he had to rely on charm to find some more agreeable companion, he could have done so. But let’s face it.  He’s decided that Durnell owes him, and who’s going to argue with the man?  No one, while he’s armed with bear spray and a bad attitude, that’s who.

Hubris- Responsibly irresponsible

May22
by on May 22, 2023 at 1:36 pm
Chapter:

She can be forgiven for assuming, by his tone and his words, that Clem is Durnell’s father.

I mean, they have that kinda vibe at the moment.

It won’t last.

Hubris- Set ’em up, knock ’em down

Apr27
by on April 27, 2023 at 3:33 am
Chapter:

Dusty’s starting to get the use of her staff writer.

I mean, USUALLY, she reads what he wrote and she goes off on her own thing.

This time, she seems to be relying on others to steer her to the most subtle and devious cut-downs imaginable.

Nothing could go wrong now.

…nothing at all.

Hubris- Judge Not…

Apr14
by on April 14, 2023 at 3:33 am
Chapter:

I don’t believe Durnell judges himself as harshly as Dusty’s writer.  Or Dusty.  Or anyone, really.

Durnell wears crazy stuff and does crazy stuff for the camera.  If you’re gonna judge yourself harshly, that is NOT the job you want to have while you’re doing it.

Hubris- Negotiating Blindly

Mar06
by on March 6, 2023 at 12:40 pm
Chapter:

I think Clem sees the strong position he’s negotiating from.

Do you suppose that the blank stare is better than burning eye contact when talking salary?  On the other hand, you don’t have to put up with the blank stare or the burning eye contact of the prospective boss if you can’t see those looks… and it’s his fault in the first place that you can’t see those looks.

Of course, doing simple things like making phone calls might get tricky.  Maybe the prospective boss would be kind enough to help you out with that!  Maybe he’d look up the number for a lawyer or two for you while you’re in the hospital and have gauze over your chemically burned eyes.  What a nice guy.

Hubris- priorities

Jan03
by on January 3, 2023 at 6:27 am
Chapter:

Some of us know- you don’t let your friends get into that ambulance alone.  You go with them, no matter what.

Chances are, if you let them go away in the ambulance unaccompanied, you’d realize moments after they turned out of sight that your dear, dear friend probably has the dang car keys in HIS pocket.
