Bitch mail...
A few weeks ago I talked about a friend of mine that I have been having problems with. Well, the other day I sent her a little email.
Hey lady!
I have been working pretty much non-stop since hurricane Rita. Even though the damage was not as severe as Katrina, a huge chunk of the Houston and Beaumont areas still have no electricity and no phone service. Some nights I do not leave work til 2:30 AM or later. Today is my day off, but I am going in for a little while.
I just wanted to let you know that I have paid off the Goodyear card, so there will be no interest charges on your portion of the bill. I am thinking of giving you my savings account number so you can just deposit your payments to me that way. It seems us getting together lately has been impossible.
Well, I got to get ready to head into work. Talk to you....whenever!
This afternoon, I checked my email briefly before going into work. There was her reply waiting for me.
Please send me your account information and I will deposit it there. I have been holding this check and I will just make a deposit on Monday. Carrie you were not working late the Saturday you were suppose to come by after class. Hurricane Rita just hit what is your excuse for before Rita. You didn't even see fit to call and let me know you were not coming. I sat around here like an ass waiting on you. You finally decided to call me on Tuesday three days later and give me the most lame excuse in the world on why you didn't come nor call. (repeat behavior) This has become your norm as of lately. I realize you have been having some problems, but I will not allow you to take me for granted that I will just except your behavior and "it's all right if I repeatedly keep standing $%&@ up and she will understand." Friends don't do friends that way and I don't believe I deserve this behavior. You won't answer your phone on your days off and really that would be the most convenient time for us to talk you would rather call me always on your way to work. It is so obvious that this is when you feel like including me in your schedule on your drive to work. You have chose to cut yourself off from the world and I am giving you all that space. It really angers me how I thought we were better friends than this.
Yes, I am really anger and mad at how you think you can just ignore people and when you haven't returned calls for days to weeks that it is ok. It is not! This friend is tired and I will see you when I see you or talk with you when I do, but I will no longer go out of my way to try and make contact with you when I don't get the same treatment. I remember that you use to state your family doesn't call and how it makes you feel. It is hard for me to believe that it was all them.
Talk with you later
Your friend

I am not sure how to respond to her email. The day she is talking about that I stood her up is the day that I had those finals and was really upset about my performance. I should have called and canceled on her, and I feel she has every right to be upset about that incident. But the rest of the email just bothers me. She complains AGAIN about my lack of a quick response to her phone calls. And when I do take the time to call her, she is unsatisfied.
I shared this email with Joe and he feels she is co-dependent. He thinks she should be kissing my ass instead of griping about my delayed response to her phone calls...especially since she still owes me so much money. He thinks she should be grateful that I paid off her debt before the accrued interest could be applied.
I won't lie and say that I am not upset with her for not thanking me for (1) saving her money with regards to the interest on her car repairs and for (2) the fact that I have not pressured her to pay me back within the 90 days like she originally agreed to. I wonder what it says about our friendship that she feels she can treat me such a way despite my obvious trust and faith in her in regards to my credit? And if I am such a horrible friend, why does she feel comfortable enough to ask me for even more money?
I began writing a response to her email today while I was at work. I am not sure when I will get around to finishing it. Right now I just wish I had someone to talk to about it.
