Gaaaaah!
A couple of members of Shinin Hearts had a tiff which blew up into a bitchfest and now so many emotions and opinions are flying - and throughout all this I'm acting as admin all alone cos I can't seem to get in contact with the owner
Now I'm *really* glad I didn't apply for M&S HR. God, having to sort people out every day - would drive me insane!!
It doesn't help that the board doesn't have rules as such, simply guidelines and we don't, as a rule, impose restrictions on anyone. So I've seen the worst insults thrown at people and wondered where the line is, especially when I have some members telling me they are happy the board is this free and others emailing me asking me to do something because they are uncomfortable.
It also doesn't help that one of the members involved I am very close "Amanda" wanted to run in and protect her and "Admin" knew she couldn't, she had to stay as neutral as possible.
Course "Amanda" sat back and tried to work out why she felt the way she did and eventually calmed down and decided she wanted to try and see things from the other person's perspective - only to have it thrown back in her face *sighs*
Guess ya can't win them all eh?
Oh well - it's a big lesson for me - can't please everybody. Been trying to learn that for years. And I also realised this weekend that I fear getting a good job because I fear making a mistake/not being able to cope. So I have been selling myself short. I spend too much time focussing on what I do/did/can do wrong that I fail to see what I have achieved.
So on that note I found a job in Cambridge to apply for. I forget at this moment how to format links on here, so you'll have to copy and paste if you're interested:

Sounds really cool, but gotta work out how to make up my 6 months worth of experience. I have 3 months in Germany, but can I include my work online? Otherwise I am lacking 3 months :o(
On a more positive note - am currently sorting through paperwork and it is wonderful to throw things away knowing there is no way I will *ever* need it again :oD
And it's the England match today and am going to dinner at Heather's to watch it!
Then I think I might flop. Only had about 4 hours sleep last night - all I can say is I am really glad I don't have work to think abou anymore *does a little happy dance*
Oh and it's results day tomorrow - I keep forgetting about that! Someone remind me to go get my results in the morning!! lol
