CrimsonMemoirs I don't understand why my friends fight - I mean, yes, one of the is getting super annoying when she's complaining her ex boyfriend won't talk to her, but my other two friends are practically pretending to be friends with her. They can't stand her anymore.
How the heck are you going to be friends when your relationship is like this between one another?
As for love interest, the best thing I have learned is to politely ask your friend to not talk about their loved one because it makes you uncomfortable, feel like it is none of your business, makes you want to give the wrong advice, or because the agitation of not being able to help comes out as attacks. Whatever the reason, sometimes it’s best to just lay the cards.
“Sue, stop talking about your boyfriend to me please. It upsets me because I can’t do anything to help you.”

When someone says no, then the answer is no. Don't question why. He or she might just feel awkward or tired or get bad memories from it. What I hate most is when someone says no to a loved one for something She or he tends to usually do. Because the loved one usually does it, they get mad when "no" comes out. It doesn't matter if it is usually done or not. No means no. Period.
I hate those scenarios where a girl will tell her man no and he keeps being persistent about whatever it is he wants to do. There is no respect if you ignore what is being said. And don't get mad afterwards, that's childish and stupid. You were told no or to stop and expect a reaction by getting mad over it? That is just dumb. When a girl (or guy, I dunno) says no, respect their decision, even if you don't accept the reasoning behind it. Why? because that is the right thing to do, dammit. It's called being curtious, being polite, being respectful, being a decent human being.

“Sue, stop talking about your boyfriend to me please. It upsets me because I can’t do anything to help you.” You have a good point. She rarely talks about her ex with me, but the other two should do that. But then they would preceed to tell me how she wouldn't listen, etc. etc.
Just a lot of drama going on at school. *sigh*

Whining about money is not going to convince people to lend you some. If they do, they are morons. I know I would be if I gave money to my sister. She always whines about money. Nothing knew. What pisses me off is that she keeps trusting her husband with money KNOWING THE FOOL CAN'T MANAGE IT!!!! He will spend the money on Lord knows what and not have any for bills. It has been this way for 10 years, since they got married. This is old news. I have given her advice time and again, ranging from seeking a financial consultant to leaving the dum dum. I waste my breath because she never listens. It's like she tells me these things in hopes of me giving her money or something.
Not my fault so don't make it my fault.

I did this to myself, I was careless. I wanted to surprise him for Valentine's Day and get him what I knew he would really love. That surprised look would have been priceless. Would have. I posted somewhere exactly what I was getting mrlavender for V-Day and he found it and read it. So he knows and he had to tell me that he knew. He couldn't hide it. I feel so dumb because I actually thought he would not find out, but I post it wher he can read it. I am a boob. I wanted to surprise him and make him genuinely happy. Nope. He's now just waiting for it. Wah for me! gonk

Apparently, when my boss calls the office, she hates being put on hold. It happens every now and then, because I have to track down the person she is requesting to speak. If the person she is requesting to speak with is busy, say on the phone with a parent. The boss lady expects the person she is requesting to drop whatever he or she is doing and talk to her. Most of the times, her calling someone in the office is basically to pass me a message or something. So the call goes from me answering the phone, to transferring it to the person she wants to talk to, to that person talking to me about something she could have told me. What is this, fifth grade? question
She needs to understand that people have obligations in the school department and they cannot drop everything simply because she wants to talk to them now. I’ve tried asking if she would want that person to call her back once she or he are available. Nope. So, I can’t put her on hold because she will hang up, but I can’t get the person she wants if she’s not on hold. That’s a slap in the face. Apparently, I have slapped her in the face more than five times. lol rofl
Boss or not, be respectful of other people’s time. Everyone has responsibilities to do here and need to accomplish their duties. Just because she’s the boss doesn’t mean she can do/act in ways that my 16-year-old niece wouldn’t find presentable. Sheesh! Someone has a stick way too far up her ***.

I am told to do the project a certain way so it will not line up like last year’s project and it will not look like it was just posted together. Her corrections and revisions all mirror last year’s report, but what do I know? I am just the young newbie in the office.
I need a drink. Dam! stare

Me being stubborn. I am a very stubborn person. I hate admitting when I am wrong (because I used to almost always being right). I don't like being sick so I say that I am not. I tend to act like I don't need help from people. I don't like sharing my problems with others because they are my problems. I avoid going to the doctor's office as much as I can. I'm stubborn.
I have to understand that it is not a sign of weakness or dependency or whatever when I get help from others. It's okay. Of course, I must sound like I get it, but I still don't. My stubborn behavior tends to get in the way of nice things, and sometimes of the niceties of others. I am trying to break of it, but it's very VERY hard.
One thing that I am trying is to not be bossy this year. Think of it as a new year's resolution. The stubborn crap falls into that becuase I am used to being right. It's the whole, my way works so everyone should just follow it also. I do get annoyed when people do things differently than me becuase I believe that my ways are either easier, logical, or quicker. I have to understand that, although it works for me, somtimes people don't like being told what to do or just prefer a different approach.
I need to leak out my stubborn cells.

This job is not working for me at all. I need to quit. It's either I quit or she fires me. She is giving me one more chance, but if she continues to be upset at me then I am gone. I understand, but at the same time, I don't. Oh well. I don't care because I am unhappy here. I don't want to be a secretary all my life. I need to work with people. I am a people person. My caregiving side needs attention.
A part of me wants to go back to school. My options are: English to be a college professor, English to be a high school English teacher, or Psychology to be a guidance counselor. I would be dealing with people on all cases. I dunno. For the guidance one I would need to take 12 classes. For the high school one, only ten. The professor choice is what I wanted but I would need an assistantship to teach, and I believe that is very hard to do. I am easily scared off by these things. Sheesh! No wonder I have accomplished so little.

xp Yea, I'm fine. except for the fact that I am going to quit my job now because my boss has bad bossing skills, I'm okay (it takes a lot to get me mad and today, I felt the adrenaline rush when arguing with my boss. Not good). I want to go back to school soooo bad. I'm gonna do it. I'll get loans or something. I need to go back to school. It's just me. It's better that way. pirate
Hooray for pirates!!! Woot!!

I hate the thought of quitting, but I need something with an income. I feel like I am ready to quit today. Someone told me getting fired is better than quitting. But what about my pride? I feel of self use? She is breaking me down and I am trying really hard to hold my tongue. I don't normally say what is exactly on my mind to people. I hold it in. I have been that way since I was a child. It is bad because it obttles up inside.
To quit or be fired? I still need to look for another job. At least if I quit, I don't need to be questioned for my meetings (interviews). This will suck big donkey balls, but what else is there?

I quit my job yesterday and I don't have a backup. Stupidest move I have ever made. I mean, I had to leave that place. It was killing me mentally and psychologically. But to leave without securing another job? Stupid me.
