Tomorrow - THE HYPOCRISY DAY!

[marzycielka]

I’m not looking forward to tomorrow. we have a Christmas party at work… well, at least what’s understood as a Christmas party in Poland and it differs drastically from what I’ve seen in foreign movies :) . it’s basically some speeches, some eating and a lot of wishing ‘Merry Christmas!’ to basically everyone. no dancing and very little alcohol (

oh dear... I know you hate E's guts... I think you put all your aggravation & frustration into that woman sometimes... it's just so annoying that you have to sit with her in the same room all day *hugs*

I have no idea how this wafer thing works usually, and as you know I'm an atheist, so maybe I'm not the right one to ask here... but I think if you can't forgive them yet it's ok, you will at some point, because there's just nothing you can do about it. this whole thing wasn't fair, but who knows what it's good for in the end...

sadly putting a mask on is required sometimes, especially on work... you'll get through it *hugs again*

I thought about what you said, but I don't think I use E. as a scape goat to blame for everything that goes wrong in my life. she did a number of things that made me dislike her and it's not irrational (besides - I'm not the only one hating her guts ;)). for some time she's been a source of aggravation and frustration for me on her own *sigh*. but I'm trying to keep my cool, you know?
as for the tradition - of course that forgiving is not mandatory and I cannot make myself forget at the drop of a hat. it's just that I'll feel a bit like a fraud acting like everything's okay... but I found a way to make it through (I'll have a prospect of a few BSG epis waiting for me at home :D), so I should be okay. it's just that I don't like these kind of situations...
*hugs*
PS. I forgot to tell you - I passed my German test! :D (I was one of few, so you can be proud of me). :)

at first - yay for your German test! :D after I send the first comment it just came to my mind that I still didn't know if you've passed it or not... I AM proud of you :) *huggles*

I didn't mean that ybout E. in this way... I know that you have reasons to not like her, I just meant that I guess sometimes when she's just her usual self and you're frustrated about something else too then you're perhaps more annoyed with her than you probably should be... I know it's not easy to ignore her, just try sometimes to not let her get on your nerves that much, she's just not worth it ;)

hope the party won't be that bad *hugs*

just an hour till the party begins *is a bit nervous*. and with shame I have to agree with what you wrote - when I'm already irritated E. is getting annoying just by breathing... oh well... I can't wait the day when she moves to another room... but it'll probably have to wait for another 1,5 year (till new building). I just have to grit my teeth and try not to kill her in the meantime ;) and you are ABSOLUTELY right - she's not worth it. I have to remember that :)
*hugs hard*

Yeah, I had a Christmas party on Sunday and while I have no nemesis of my own, I still wished I'd be curled up on the couch, watching TV instead.

I think the best you can do is put a stoic front and still share the wafer and go through the motions. They're probably doing the same.

I have a very short list of Christmas presents I need to buy but I'm kinda freaked out by the fact that I haven't even started the shoppping yet and I have no idea what to get. Lots of us in the same boat apparently.

Hang on in there! *hug*

I'll take sitting before my TV (well, I'll prefer my computer, but even TV would be better) over this party anytime. I'm just not into large gatherings and the prospect of interacting with these three people all at once makes me cringe a bit... but I'll get to wish a Merry Christmas and kiss (on the cheek, but STILL) my latest crush, so it's not ALL bad, lol ;). you're right about going through the motions - it's kind of comforting that for them it wouldn't be better (E. hates me too, and I hope that the other two would feel at least a bit guilty). I'll be ok, especially with BSG waiting for me at home as a reward for good behaviour :)
Christmas shopping is driving me crazy - all these crowds and not a single idea what to buy *shakes head*. I hope that both of us will manage to get through it relatively unscathed :)
thanks for your support *hugs back*
