Hiding for a Few Days
I guess not *everything* is fine at work.
I've always said that if a particular situation arose there, I would look for a new job as soon as I found out.
Well, that thing happened.
It's not even something that directly affects me, it's more the principle of the matter. I'm sorry about being so vague, but I've discussed it with several people already tonight and I don't feel like getting into it again.
So, yeah. Maybe my time at Brooks will end sooner than expected. I've done a lot for them and they've been kicking me in return. This was the final straw.
Anyway, I think I am going to take a break from blogging for a few days. I have lots to write, but it's stuff I'd prefer to put in the scandalous notebook. I feel kinda bad, because I meant to write about Matt's wedding and a few other things, but I guess they will have to wait. I'll still be online, if you're privy to talking to me that way, and it's not like I'm in a bad mood or anything, I'm just feeling a bit reserved right now.
With that, see you in a few days.

In the interest of civility and directness, I am posting this directly here, as I cannot leave a comment where it belongs, and you did not reply directly to the drama-inducing original post.
End very long introductory sentence. To the point:
It was not, in fact, you to whom I was referring. I can see how you would get that impression, and I apologize. I do read ICA, but frankly, it's because you make me feel hopeful. And yes, sometimes jealous for pretty obvious reasons, mostly having to do with, oh, I don't know, having some self-control and mental health. But you do not "drive me up the wall." I reserve that designation for attention-whoring drama llamas, and, at least from my perspective (which I'm sure you care about), you have never been that.
The difference between you and the idividual who does drive me up the wall is simple: she pretends to be frank and direct and "this is how it is." I would say, in my limited view, that you really are that way -- so you can probably understand how crazy-making it is when people skillfully exaggerate and manipulate.
Anyway, I just wanted to set the record straight.
Gah.
Now I feel like a complete bitch/idiot, but it's completely my fault for jumping to conclusions. So, I'm sorry for making a fuss that was completely unwarranted and I'll be taking the other entry down. I must admit I thought it was random if I *was* the intended target of that post. I guess that seemed more logical at the time than there being other people who could fit the description-- cuz of course I'm always the first person on everyone's mind. heh, right.
Anyway, sorry again and thanks for coming out of lurkerdom to clear things up.
Not a problem. And it's not completely off the wall (what is it with me and walls?) that you'd get the impression you did. So I'm going to have to go with neither a bitch nor an idiot -- only egocentric in the way that we all are.
p.s. Goddamnit, you drive me up the wall, you attention-seeking, into-my-life-butting idiot/bitch.
p.p.s. jk, obviously.
Better said and cleared up - than held close to the chest - where it would continue to poison you.
Sorry too anonymous for my role in the curfuffle.

Good luck with the work issues. Work is a hugh part of a person's life these days. It is good to see you dealing with the crap so early in life.
The only thing I can think of that may help are two things:
1) Find a place where they recognise your value. You have value, some places won't see that, find the places that do (My dad told me that)
2) Here's something I wrote on change which helped me when I was going through work crap.

It's a journey. Travel interestingly. :)
