ugh... so pettiness... I dislike the stuff. I prefer to be straight forward and completely honest. I also like to think the best of people because that's who I am..."What? NO! that person isn't out to get me... they're just reeeeealy competitive..." I don't like thinking I'm actually important enough to be "out to be gotten" really, who thinks im a threat? Not that I'm not a force to be reckoned with, but I do present a non threatening image as a front line defense. All I really want is to fly under the radar. Unfortunately, pettiness finds a way. Its usually passive behind the scenes stuff and this is half of why my school years are repressed memories. As long as teacher doesn't see it, there is nothing they can do... thats the general excuse for administration. Of all the issues I thought I would face at school, really people and pettiness wasn't even on the list. Completely blindsided
I wont pretend to be innocent. I own that I'm petty sometimes. especially when I was working and bored and hating my life. This isn't that kind of "bored, omg they sized the shoes wrong..AGAIN!" kind of petty. This is "Oh, she's nice, fuck her!"
I take back what I said about my plucky friend, who is not plucky. She is mean.
All I can do is hope I can hold my temper. Oh dear lord, where did I place that long fuze!?
I can't stoop to that level, I must walk away or risk my career.
