[The pause here is filled with the threading wind that frequents rooftop heights with him now and then, though not so often as it used to be. Then he takes a breath and the wind muffles down, as if the speaker has taken a seat blocked by the ledge, lessening all that background noise.]I think there are a lot of different ways to look at equivalence

Personally, out of all of us, I don't think you've missed any of the necessary steps.

[justdoingmyjob]

That goes for you too.

Does that mean I get an airplane?

[justdoingmyjob]

Sure.

[pause]

How's your roommate?

[laszlo_jamf]

If there weren't different ideas, the topic would make for some lousy essays.

[justdoingmyjob]

Probably right about that.

I'd put less blame on yourself and more blame on the people that failed to follow through with their promises.

[ pause. ]

Or maybe they tried to follow through, but there were things that got in the way. Or it was delivered, just not in the way you thought it would be.

Kind of hard to blame---

...

---not that that's stopped me from doing it, sometimes.

[justdoingmyjob]

Yeah, I keep trying to...look at things from a new angle.

Keep hoping I'm missing it. At least if it's just me doing that...it still means it's there.

Has it worked at all? Or helped?

[caughtthebullet]

I think the word you're looking for is reciprocation.

[justdoingmyjob]

Maybe some of both.

[caughtthebullet]

That could depend on the situation.

[justdoingmyjob]

I'd say definitely.

[dude_imbatman]

Sometimes no matter how many things you do right, or how many you do wrong for that matter, no matter how hard you fight...nothing ever ends up equivalent. We're all fucked in the end.

At least that's how I look at it.

Well I mean, I don't think we're all on a one way street to failure.

[justdoingmyjob]

Sometimes I don't know why things happen and a lot of things don't seem fair, but if we were all screwed no matter what...I don't think I'd even bother getting out of bed in the morning.

[justdoingmyjob]

[long pause]

But I've felt...sort of like that before. Like nothing I do is good enough, like like it's never going to get me where I need to go.

It passes though. I mean, it has to, kind of. Or else how do we keep on going?
