Do you ever get tired of other people's bad attitudes?
Sarcasm? Insensitivity? Bitchiness?
And why do we put up with it?
I have been asking myself this question for a good long while now and I can't really give an answer apart from it is how they are and nothing will change them but today I have had enough.
I mean you make one innocent if not slightly slow comment and everyone jumps on the "give you shit" band wagon. Does it help you be a better person? Does it make you feel like ever making a comment in that person's or those people's presence? Does it make you like them any more? If the answer is "No" to all of these then there is a solution. DON'T BE FRIENDS WITH THEM.
This, however, is not a simple solution. If you hang out with the same friends, have been "friends" for years and at some point in time DID enjoy their company... is it that easy to cut ties?
I don't rightly know the answer to that but maybe with some time and deep contemplation I will come to some sort of answer.... who knows?

The Winds of Change are Blowing...
So 2013 has begun and is seemingly a year for change. I have had several calls about job opportunities, received one position and am studying yet another year of Psychology, the prospect of marriage is on the horizon and I am turning 30!
As it turns out going out into the big world in search of new prospects is quite a daunting task for one such as myself. I prefer stability over chaos and looking for a new job AND finding it offer anything but stability. I suppose once the new job starts and I am well ensconced in the work I will find that sense of balance again, but until that moment I think these feelings of upheaval and uncertainty will remain.
"Change is a good as a holiday", right?
It wouldn't be a idiom if it weren't true, but that doesn't change the fact that change is just that... change... something unpredictable, incomprehensible and, to me, terrifying.
What if I am not good at whatever the new job is? What if I dislike the work or the people?
Do you ever get that feeling in your gut that is telling you something just doesn't fit? Could it be me that is the something? Or is it just a case of the job shuffle jitters?
I should feel like this...
... but I feel like this
I suppose time will tell, but until then ... I am not sure I will like the ride.
