Apparently, I'm an asshole

Twice today, I was told I offended someone when I was not intending to do so.  Now, I have no problem being offensive or abrasive as the case may be on purpose, but to find out I'm inadvertently going around being a dick, this is hard to take.  See, b/c its not on purpose, I really can't control or predict the behaviour in the future.  For the most part regarding the conversations at issue, I was hard pressed to recall at all, much less whether or not I was seeking to offend the other party. 

Note to self, if someone tells me about their job, make sure not to say "I can't believe you get paid for that." Especially while unemployed and deeply in debt. No wonder I don't have a job.  Maybe I should bring an asshole-to-english interpreter to my next job interview.

Kentucky's Bar Oath

I do solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this Commonwealth, and be faithful and true to the Commonwealth of Kentucky so long as I continue a citizen thereof, and that I will faithfully execute, to the best of my ability, the office of .... according to law; and I do further solemnly swear (or affirm) that since the adoption of the present Constitution, I, being a citizen of this State, have not fought a duel with deadly weapons within this State nor out of it, nor have I sent or accepted a challenge to fight a duel with deadly weapons, nor have I acted as second in carrying a challenge, nor aided or assisted any person thus offending, so help me God.

Lawyers be trouble.  Actually, the bar of the mid Nineteenth century nearly wiped itself out with duels.  Apparently shit was real procedural with the Code Duello, so, there were lots of lawyers and judges involved. If anyone knows of my dueling activities please don't tell the bar.
