I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever find a friend or a love that I can stick with for a long time. It seems everyone I come across is heavily flawed in one way or another. Kim's a control freak who blabs the most personal stories to everyuone she can, Emma's got all the Leo shit and more tagging along with her, and Melissa is a slut.
AM I too picky or just unlucky? Everyone has flaws, I know. But some are too big too overlook.
I did the unthinkibnale today and called my boss in for a one-on-one. I told her I needed to move desks and this is why. Melissa, my office mate, (who has a new man every other week, or sooner, but I didn't tell the boss that) has taken on pressuring the tech guy in the office to have an extra-marital affair with her. If that weren't bad enough, she sits down after lunch and openly retells the private conversation she had with the tech guy about his rocky marriage to his high school sweetheart of 13 years. I was shocked she was babbling out loud in the office and to make matters worse tech guy flies by us in a huff as she telling me all this. So I say to my boss, I cannot be near her anymore as her talking to me about such things involuntarily involves me and you better believe I want nothing to do with this affair. I also decided to leave out that she's started openly making fun of the office ugly, mimicking her cackle when she laughs, openly asking why ugly hasn't gotten nearly as much work done as the rest of us, etc. Because she's talking to me about it, no matter what I do or do not have to say about it, I am involved.
How did I become friends with someone who thinks this kind of behaviour is at all acceptable?
How did I become friends with blabber-mouth control-freak Kim? or multi-dependant, foolish Emma?
How do I always get sucked in? I thought I was smarter than that. Mind you, I was smart about Melissa. When she left my birthday with no goodbye with one of the many loverboys she has when she said she'd be back I knew the relationship we had was to go no further. I took that as a sign of disrespect aND i HAVEN'T TAKEN IT ANY FURTHER, despite her calling me and messaging me at home and wanting to get out more, I haven't and I'm glad I didn't.
Are there normal nice people out there who have understandable simple, even kindly faults?
Oh great another email from Jodi. ANother one with ... issues? All she talks about is being a mommy and her baby's daddy. BUt she keeps asking me to go for coffee, and I just got an email telling me she's not a Leo but a Libra, so maybe it's worth a shot?
