Happy Holidays, everyone! I found a funny comic about Christmas carols! Sure makes you wonder what other songs are out there, right?

[On the face of it, this is a local techie waxing enthusiastic about XKCD-- in other words, it's a day ending in Y. But even on years she isn't drinking herself into a stupor, Lisa Allen's general type-a douchebaggery is well known in the village, and her brand of fake cheer is probably fooling no-one.]

Perhaps you should get out more. Being grumpy all the time does not actually solve problems.

[He rolls his eyes.] Of course it won't. But letting it spoil your mood all the time will just let them win, right? And things get done better when you're happier. [Like getting sweet, sweet revenge. He does approve of that. As long as it's done cheerfully enough.]

But he didn't. And unless you learn how to warp reality, which is quite unlikely, I think, there's nothing you can do about it.

There's nothing to be said against grieving, but perpetual grumpiness is not going to make things better.

Certainly. Why not? But you're never very happy, are you?

That's one time. And really, isn't being happy a lot more fun than not being it?

It's as I said -- being grumpy is boring and doesn't get you anywhere. [And he's slightly mad. But harmless. Mostly. Maybe.]

Oh, rubbish. It's just far too boring being grumpy. I've better things to do with my time. [He's also got better things to do than be employed because when you're rich, you don't need that sort of nonsense.]

Perhaps some time. But I am serious. Wasting your time with unhappiness is foolish. [He sounds like he may speak out of experience. But you never know with Ray.]

[For a moment his surprise shows enough for the smile to disappear, then it's back, softer than before.] That's now what it's about. Why should you care if they'd find you troubling? It's about yourself. Everything is much more bearable if you just find the strength to let go and smile.

[Oh dear D: Could cheerfulness not be the solution in this case?] Are you angry about his death? Or other things as well? Even before the crash?

[He thinks about that for one long moment.] If you're sad about his death, then be sad. Grief doesn't go away by repressing it. And soon enough, when life goes on, thinks will look brighter again.

[He raises a brow.] Why would it be?

Then corporate culture is a foolish one. Success cannot happen without emotions.

[And there's a mysterious little smile. That sort that says "I know something you don't" that is really, really aggravating.] What makes you so sue about that?
