Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

20151129_135711(0)_resized

If anger maintained for too long a time without resolution results in a state of exhaustion, would an excessive level of gratitude be expected to create a feeling of rapacious  avidity? It only stands to reason, not that that has anything to do with today’s odd(er) TToT Post. Apropos only of having a little too much computer-enhanced-word-generation, Lizzi and Them invite you to join this here Ten Things of Thankful bloghop. Your work will be graded. (no, not really) ((well, I have to back up my assertion of being rapaciously avid, don’t I?)) (((well, actually, I don’t! and not just because the term, ‘rapacious avidity’ is morphing into a visual that includes pirates, school marms and being kept after class.))) oh well, if this is your first stop, and are relatively new to the TToT, I might suggest going over to ‘the Coop‘ or ‘un-Charted‘ might make for a better mood establisher, ya know?

1) the technology of the current day that allows events like last night’s vidchat.

2) the internets in general, for enabling the creation of ‘the Biggest High School Cafeteria (Last Lunch on a Friday, not to put too fine a point on it) in all of History’, not just the social environment that we all experienced, but, in a marked improvement over the original, the Biggest High School Cafeteria with a Shifting Time Zone (which allows, as did the original, a time of fluid social structure… i.e. cool kids at a sub-critical density, tough kids at a variable demand time and so on and so forth…. you remember, that one day, after class, you and a friend talked to a Teacher and they (the Teacher) talked like they were regular people.

3) the Wakefield Doctrine for being both an enabler and a dependent-of-the-most-trying-type,-like-that-friend-that-you-know-doesn’t-need-to-act-so-….-but-they-don’t-listen-except-that-one-time-that-only-makes-you-all-the-more-frustrate-because-its’-clear-they-know-better

4) work and such… (there must be a comparable expression to ‘such a First World problem’ that describes the vast range of jobs and employment choices and requirements) Wait, I just remembered! the Doctrine has something to say about jobs!  “Everyone works just as hard at what they do as everyone else.” (It’s true!  Look it up!)

5) *this space reserved for Insightful and Poignant Crowd-Sourced Grat Item (click 10 to make your contribution)

6) the internet (again) for allowing us, as individuals to feel free to express ourselves in ways that we would not, in a million years consider in the Real World, without depriving us of the total head-swelling feeling that accompanies the post faux-temp-couragous moment.

7) serial novel websites, even though they are clunky to use and subject to the same Lamarckian social environment that, having somehow survived once, we find ourselves eager to through ourselfs back into  Blogdominion Chapter 8 out this Sunday  (Sister Margaret Ryan and Detective Maribeth Hartley go out for a Sunday dinner at a local Italian restaurant and discuss Life, Death, computers, Police procedure and why Sister Margaret is not going to give up on the mystery of the defaced school website.)

8) Lizzi and her band of co-hostinae for maintaining this space over what we calculated was either 2.3 years or half of the last period of time that we mark in our heads as: ‘ok, I think I’m getting it’

9) Phyllis and her Treehouse and z and her Six and the SGV (with their well-worn, kama sutra of bloghop Rule Books: the Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules)

10) 1.3

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    Frist as well.

    Rapacious avidity has just the perfect juxtapositioning of colloquy dichotomy that is inherent in the Doctrine, for the Clark-like perspective. That said, the Vid Chat, or High School Cafeteria of the internet, was wonderful, and you, the guy with the day long study hall, was there from beginning to end. Can’t wait to read Chapter 8. Hopefully, the two spaces after each period in this comment don’t offend you.

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      lol (damn straight!)
      I’d love to have been in the class with you, I would have totally asked her to re-examine her inept teacherficationing!

  3. Carin says:

    I like video chatting especially with my family overseas. It is almost free and better than old-style and expensive long distance calls.

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      then you totally need to join us next Friday!
      (the connections are possible by link sent to email, or being a member of the Wakefield Doctrine circle in google+ or looking on the facebook (I publish the hangout link Friday nights!) it’s fun and there are all sorts of interesting people joining in

    Still laughing over the rapacious avidity of pirates and school marms.

  5. This tree house is awesome!! Have fun playing there (and I absolutely expect you to play there!!!). Even though work is the means to provide so much to us, it’s hard to be thankful for it at the moment. I hope that things will change and healing will happen so I can be as passionate about work again as I used to be.

    Have a great weekend, Clark!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      yeah.. I think I know what you mean about the difficulty of dealing with and resolving workplace problems (human variety)… it seems that what should work with total strangers (not that the problem would exist if it were total strangers) and certainly with friends and family, is somehow stunted or neutralized with the neither friends nor strangers of the co-worker…

    *leaves words imparting meaningful and responsive acknowledgement of gratitudinals*

  7. ivywalker says:

    rapacious avidity…avidité rapace…pohlepnih lakomost…хищный алчность…avidez rapaz… rapacious pupa…rapacious aviditet…ראַפּאַסיאָוס אַווידיטי. Such a universal concept… who knew?

  8. May says:

    ‘rapacious avidity’ is morphing into a visual that includes pirates, school marms and being kept after class.
    It is statements like this that make me want to encourage you to leave your brain to science. I just feel it must be such a fascinating place. When you are done with it, someone ought to still get good out of it!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      lol yeah…. I will accept responsibility for the joining of the words, but the accompanying visuals is way way out of my hands!

  9. herheadache says:

    Spread-out school cafeteria. I never would have thought of it that way.
    :-)
    You were lovely with the humour and the pep talk about awful writing instructors and I know how hard sharing and showing writing to others can be. Thankfully there are people like you who can put those sorts of feelings into perspective.

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      …and it’s funny that, even when you (meaning me) accepts the metaphor (of the environment) I end up being essentially the same person (at least the initial response to situations that occur in the rather wonderful, albeit odd place, the virtual world)
      thank you… perhaps because I’ve decided to try to learn to do the writing thing, I’ve been fortunate in finding people pretty much being supportive and non-jerklike. I probably lack the courage that val showed to actually go into a classroom setting with total strangers to work on her project…

  10. Congrats on the Blogdhominion writing – that’s gotta feel good. And work and such – all the things to be grateful for. :)
    Me? After that short story I tried to write, I’ve decided to take a break. I’m discovering that I can write, but perhaps not fiction. Maybe I’ll return to it at some point, but have immensely been enjoying art and drawing – partly to relax but partly so that I have materials to build a new website. Even purchased the domain name and in the process of building. :) And trying to transfer Pictimilitude to a free platform – just so that I can update that every once in awhile.

    It’s part of my INFP personality: the clark that likes way too many things. ;)
    Say…this might be a fun topic: the “sub” worldviews and characteristics that emerge as a result of being 100% clark, a clark-roger, a clark-scott, a scott-roger, a scott-clark, scott-scott, a roger-scot, a roger-clark and a roger-roger. All very interesting. :P

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      good remindage of the value of revisiting some of the close in and (fairly) important aspects of the Doctrine… the business of secondary and tertiary aspects.

      it must be part of the internal economy (of all us) to be ably to only do so much… although, I must say, that for (what imo is the important thing about your online activities) what your describing above you’re on the right track… all the things you describe are a part of, and an expression/manifestation of your creativity. Which is totally essential. the inner source of energy we all have (to varying degrees) depends on our expressing it

      back to topic of secondary and tertiary aspects. it’s funny how the focus of the Doctrine shifts to where now, a lot of energy is going into exercising and practicing the writing thing, in the hope that my skills will allow a better explanation of our favorite personality theory! so, also being one of extremes (my secondary aspect affecting my efforts to express my predominant worldview)… I’ll have to get that ole pendulum swing in the the other direction!

  11. christine says:

    Seriously, how do you do all those fancy things with your fonts??
    Tell Phyllis she did a great job with the tree house. Now all she needs is a little fireplace, and I’ll be happy to sit in it with her. :)
    I saw the invite to the vidchat. Conditions at the house were no conducive to joining. :) I would love to join in one of these days. Vidchat meeting is the next best thing to actually in person meeting!

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      meaning the subtitle? that was a site I found that lets you type in text and it will flip or reverse or do all sorts of fun things! (search ‘reverse text’ should work)
      Yeah… actually we have an old wood stove in the basement, but seeing how not only the treehouse, but the tree it’s in is, well made of wood, maybe we should get a little electric fireplace

      you’re always welcome… Dyanne joined us this last vidchat… will always send an invite, just in case, I’ve been posting the link in my Facebook page to make it easy for people to link up and all… totally agree with that last

  12. Vanessa D. says:

    Una in the Treehouse with garland! I enjoyed your statement about work and how everybody works just as hard at what they do as the next guy. Sometimes we forget that every job is work, even if it is enjoyable work, so there is little point in envy.

    • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

      yeah and there is the matter of ‘what it is that’s difficult (in our work)’ very subjective, but always difficult.
