I don't know. But if you figure it out, let me know...maybe then I'll understand why I do it... unless we are, in fact, talking about literally digging up graves. Which I don't do.
I am now imagining Carmina in the dead of night digging up some guys grave, opening the casket and saying "Damn it! Not another corpse!"
Argh!!! Never try to be nice to someone who is going to cause you trouble anyway... I had a civil conversation with someone the other day who has caused me huge problems in the past. Yesterday, she flamed me after I had asked politely if she could add something to a list of event results which she had omitted. Just "can we please have..." sort of request.
Never regret being nice. Just realize that her reaction reflects poorly on her, not on you. In similar situations, I have waited patiently for the tirade to subside, and then quietly said something like, "So I take it that's a no?"
I'm sorry. Hope it gets better! -hug- I'm angry, but not furious or bitter. In a way, I'm almost... angrily happy. After I chewed Mike a new one, I haven't been speaking to him since. That makes me happy, because I now know I have power to walk away from his horrible influence, but the fact that he's everywhere bugs the hell out of me. I just have to keep telling myself that I graduate in a month, an then I'll never have to see him again.
I hate being furious, so I'm sorry. I hope your mood improves soon! Hang in there! At least you know that even when you see him all over the place, you can still stay away from his influence. I wouldn't be able to do that... I'm frustrated because I keep having the same conversation with my fiance every few months. It's a serious issue, and I'm not going to get into details, but it just frustrates me that I am told that things are going to change and then three or four months later, after I find out they haven't changed, I get to hear the same thing again. I believed it the first time. I wanted to believe it the second time. Now I just want him to tell them damn truth about it...
*hugs* Ashleigh I got one of those "How can you be better at your job" meetings. I always cry. Boss was very nice about it though. She is very supportive. She is trying to work with my myriad mental disorders that interfere with work. I still feel like a have the word "FAIL" tattooed on my forehead whenever I hear something I am doing wrong. Why is it that I am almost 31 years old and still feel like the little girl who got caught passing notes in class?
Thanks matty and 'Mina. I can't stand it when I'm put on the spot like that either, 'mina. It always makes me feel really foolish - plenty of times I've gotten myself teary because I felt embarrassed and ashamed that I didn't do something right. I doubt that feeling will leave me any time soon. Atleast she is helping you with your anxiety and such, which Is good -they're atleast trying to look out for you. I don't like to say you have 'mental issues' though, 'Mina, because you're one of the most sane, level-headed, down to earth people I know and those qualities are things to be proud of, despite the other issues.
*HUGS* Ashleigh. I'm not sure how I feel today to be honest. I got an email lastnight and then had to phone my childrens father quickly. He told me that his father had passed away yesterday afternoon at home from cancer. He had been fighting it for a very long time and his body finally gave out. I never liked the man a great deal, but he did help out quite a lot with the children in the early stages of their lives. My oldest, Mase who is 5 remembers him, my daughter does not. But now I am left to explain to them what has happened and it is very hard. Today is going to be very long and hard for both my little family and my childrens father and his family as well. I feel torn between trying to protect from children from being upset and telling them the truth.
I think we're all having a **** week.. I know I am. I had to drop one of my subjects this semester at uni because I couldn't keep up. My anxiety has been shocking the past few weeks because of the stress. I felt like such a failure at life when I dropped the subject. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is to me, because I'm one of those, 'must succeed at everything I do', types.
So am I. You can imagine how I feel after losing my job and not being able to find anything else for the past two years... No wonder I've given up writing.
If you love writing Dal, you can't fail at it. Even if you don't "succeed" by anyone else's standards, you are doing something that is meaningful and special to you. That is success.
My little Spitsies got his first cut today. Just a little nick on the barbed wire, but it made me sad to his a drop of his blood on his tiny white nose. AND I had to loosen his halter today! He's growing up!
It's storming really really hard outside and Spitsies is out there in it, and there's nothing I can do about it. Little Bit died during a storm, which worries me, a lot, because this one is so much worse than that.
I'm really annoyed over double standards! What is good for one should be good for all... but doesn't seem to be that way...
I have been dumped with almost an entire third of my A-level to re-do over this weekend. Birthday plans that I've had since before I started college are now down the drain. I may fail my A-level, and I'm going to spend my 17th birthday working my arse off because of someone else's cock up. I think I could cry.
