Crap day made better by Twitter friends

Jun 08, 2010 03:49

After a really shitty day, I was ready to just give up and try to get some sleep.  I've not been sleeping too well lately, and no, it's not the amount of spn porn either!!

I have to go to a meeting, with 6 people, 3 of whom I hate with a vengeance.  They're basically back-stabbing, two faced shits.

Don't get me wrong, if I'm being bullied again, I will stand up for myself.  Chuck knows I've had to do it since I've been working there.  I used to be a total pushover, but not now.  I will stand my ground and not back down.

That's got to come from my treatment in school.  I was bullied because I had ballet and tap lessons, bullied because I did ballroom and Latin American, bullied because I went horse riding and had tennis lessons.  My parents gave up a lot so that us kids could do the things that we loved.

I know I sound really spoilt here, and I realise that I have been in the past.  However, I hope to Chuck that it's not turned me into a selfish little bitch.  Parents/siblings have assured me that I'm not though - which is a huge relief.

Oh, I didn't do all of those activities at the same time, either.  I eventually gave up one after the other because of some lousy kids.  I never told my parents at the time either.

The only one that I did stick to,  and  to hell with what happened/what was said, was  horse riding.  I returned to dancing as I got older.

Anyway, I digress.  I'm not liked by these 3 people because if I KNOW I'm right, I will stand my ground and I'm not afraid of them.  If I'm wrong, then obviously I'll change whatever needs changing.  I'm a web designer, by the way.  It has got to the stage now, where I don't really give a damn about things as long as they're happy, then I'm not going out of my way to point out their mistakes/errors. Sounds childish, I know, but it was making me physically ill and this is how I cope.  Plus, I no longer work 60 hours a week.  I don't get overtime pay either.  It's not a huge company and there are going to be cut backs, so I could be looking for another job soon.

Only my real friends know about this account, so I'm pretty 'safe/anonymous' here.

I had a breakdown once before because of a job and I sure as hell won't let that happen to me again.  Life's too bloody short as it is.

I digress, yet again.  I'll do that, as I tend to just go with the flow and half the time it's all over the place. Sorry!

Where was I? Oh yeah, Twitter.  If it wasn't for the amazing friends that I've made through this 'social network' I would have no doubt gone to bed pretty depressed about it.  However, these wonderful people made me laugh so much that I felt a whole hell of a lot better.

I know that sounds trite and probably trivial to a lot of people, but these friends mean a lot to me and the fact that they even cared that I was upset amazes me and really does make my heart warm.

So, in conclusion my shitty day turned out to be a fun evening! I thank them from the bottom of my heart!

On that note and 3:40 am, I am going to have a shower and go to bed!
