Sorry if this post seems totally out of character, but this struck me today:
Do I Let People Walk On Me?
Yes. Yes I do.
I might as well have a fake plastic daisy attached to my forehead, and spiky astro grass on my ass for people to wipe the crud from their feet.
I want all of my friends to love each other, but they seem to refuse to do that. This friend is mad at that friend and that friend holds a grudge against this friend and this close friend doesn't include that new friend and... blah. It's everywhere and I'm tired of putting myself in the middle of it. Of course, the alternative is to have to CHOOSE between my friends! That's not fair! Just effing GET ALONG! I love all of you, why can't you all love all of you?!?
Maybe I'm not as matted in my professional life, but I still allow myself to be taken advantage of. Oh, everyone needs lunch/drinks/baked goods? Ok, I can get that! Oh, we need a full calendar and everyone's conflicts need to be on it and they're allowed to change them at will? ON IT! Oh, you say you need this mailing done NOW when I asked for it 4 weeks ago and now you need me to do it overnight but are refusing to pay for the Kinko's service it took to get your fucking letter done?!? OH?!!? OK!!!!
I know what I need:
Folger - Education Assistant Job - 3 weeks or less from now.
$50,000 - prize money or SOMETHING - 1 year. I give it One Year. Come on, Universe!
Break - weeklong - 4 weeks or less from now.
Harmony - between everyone I know. NOW.
At least one of these things needs to happen or I might actually flip the proverbial shit and "go postal" as they say. Just saying.
