Fat Girls Updated
First off, I’d like to thank you all for all your kind words. Although I really wasn’t fishing for compliments, the ones that I did get made me feel wonderful. I guess the worst part of this whole ordeal was it was from a woman who at her biggest weight was 300 pounds. (She’s 5’3”) I also find it amusing that no men commented. Better to leave things unsaid in fear of saying the wrong thing, I guess.
So, I have a friend in from out of town. Before this week, I hadn’t seen him in 16 years. So, when he can, he has come to visit. Either at home, or at work at lunch hour. So, yesterday he came to see me at work, and aside from causing a great big stir, he also helped with the situation at hand, without even realizing it. At one point, it was time to go upstairs (back to work) and the offender decided that 5 minutes was enough time to hang out a little more, and my buddy happened to say that maybe she should go, because the elevator might get stuck. He had mentioned this casually since the night before I mentioned that the elevators in the building tend to get stuck, and I’ve been stuck in them twice, but she didn’t take it as such. Instead, because she was large at one point, she started thinking that he thought she was so fat that she would cause the elevator to get stuck. She came back to me later and after gushing at how HAWT he was, she mentioned how he made her feel. She then realized how it made me feel when she said what she did Tuesday (I had also talked to her in the morning, explaining - I’m not one to skirt issues I have with people). So, situation resolved. Kind of. I still have my issues, but I’m working on those. It seems that I also have a lot more self-esteem than I ever gave myself credit for, and for almost all issues I have a “fuck this shit” kind of attitude. I really don’t care what people think about me, most of the time. I also have a great support network, which I am continuously thankful for. I know to keep my distance from her, emotionally, at least. Since I do work with her, it’s pretty hard to avoid her, and changing routine would make things awkward in the office.
And, I still have RUM!!!
