It Think It’s Time For A Friend Purge
I’m stressed. I’m stressed and feeling rather down and under-appreciated and definitely not respected. See, I don’t have a lot of friends. I have kept my circle small because there has always been drama when I was surrounded by too many. However, the ones that I have are dropping the ball lately. They are treating me like crap and it is finally starting to take its toll.
I am designing a web page for a , um, friend- have been for almost 6 months now. I’m not kidding. Completed sites normally take me about 2-4 weeks, but this one has been in progress for 6 months now. It’s not that I have been procrastinating. I have been working pretty much every day for more the 5 hours a day. Well, that is until recently. See, the friend is not paying me. The friend is not paying me at all. And despite my Virgo tendencies to want everything to be perfect, somewhere in mid August I realized that this person is a taker. I realized that this person is not worth the stress. And while I am not going to stop (I’ve put too much work in this), I just don’t care anymore. The site will not function well because this person does not respect my expertise in a field that I have been learning for the last 10 years. This person does not want to compromise and, so, I will do what is wanted despite what I know is best. In addition, this site is for a business and while I am busting my ass to get this site up and running, I know that the owner is not willing to do what it takes to get the business going. I know that it will never be successful. And so… Continue reading

So you know how you have that one friend who is competitive with you about everything and tells you that her child, at 2 years 5 months, can write a paragraph, mow the lawn and cook a 7 course meal? And you know how she is supermom because she tells you that she is and you know how no matter how many times her child has fallen and knocked her head up, he does not take her to the doctor because the doctor won’t do anything that she herself can’t do?

Like how when you share that YOUR child has developed a new skill, she has to tell you that her child has been doing that since she was in the womb? And you know how when she tells you that her child knows the alphabet because she can sing the song from start to finish you start wishing that your child would show others all of the things that she can do? And then suddenly, your child walks over the the wall with the alphabet border and points to a letter and says “i” and it is an “i” and then she says “m” and she is pointing to a “m” and she does it AGAIN with a “y” and and “x” and then your friends asks her daughter “what letter is this” and her daughter looks as confused as can be and when she asks again, your daughter says, without… Continue reading
