Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says, "Oh crap, she's up!"

Grenade


First off, click on the video. I know you want to. It's a great rendition of the song--I like this version better than the original. Don't get me wrong, I am well-suited for the angsty version... but I can also complain in doo-wop form.

Yesterday I wrote about being under-appreciated. Today I went to a lecture on Negotiations, particularly women and negotiations. So, yeah, I get it--if I want something, I need to be upfront about it. I shouldn't assume that people have manners or commonsense, because we all know that's far from the truth. I need to follow the lead of my male counterparts and just f*ck it. It's just business, and apparently, everything is an arm's length deal--no alliances, no cooperations--just straight up business.

I should protect my greatest asset, because I shouldn't feel like sh*t when I have pure intentions (and in all seriousness, who will stand up for me?!).

So enough of this. Arm's length. Nothing more. Nothing less. TINSTAAFL. Straight up.

Yeah, selfish you say? Shut up. If you want an altruistic feel: I can't save the world if I'm too emotionally broken to care.

So there. Boo-yah.
