I simply don't want to be at work right now.  I need a vacation.


I have complained about my job for so long.  I hate my job!  I am trying to decide whether or not to stay here or find something else to do.  I don't even know why I am feeling so annoyed today.  Could it be because the manager wanted me to use a computer that doesn't work properly.  That is part of it...I don't want to put up with people whining and generally bitching.  I don't really care that you device is broken...If there was a problem with it six months ago why are you just saying something now?

I think having a computer at home is going to open up a new world for me.  I can look at different jobs and such and not worry about being 'caught.'  Whatever...

B~ is complaining because I asked him to clean the litter box.  He claimed that he has changed it three times since we have had the new one.  He has changed it once.  I'm the one who cleans the friggin' box.  Thankfully the battery on my phone dies, so I had an excuse to get off the phone with him without yelling at him. 

I just want to be home so I don't have to be the responsible one.  I would rather be the student going though student things.  I know that isn't going to be easy, but it is better than being angry all the time at the same things I have been angry about for the past five years or so.  I'm so stressed out, my face has broken out terribly.  I'm 35 years old, I shouldn't be getting breakouts! 

I wrote a letter to BC.  She is a wonderful person, but I don't have anything of substance to say to someone I haven't seen in over seven years.  I can't tell her the things I would like to talk about, because she is this proper woman who goes to church with my mother.  She doesn't approve of me living with a man in Arizona.  I'm proud to be with B~. (even though he pisses me off sometimes.)  I'm glad we are out here and have no issues of morality because I'm living with the man I love.  I had to write about fluff.  Sedona is nice, but Phoenix is lousy.  Blah! Blah! Blah! 

I have always wished I could tell my mother EVERYTHING.  I can tell B's mother everything and she doesn't tell me that I'm being a bad person.  My mother wouldn't ever talk about difficult things.  Her general response to anything I had to ask was , "Pray about it."  After awhile, I stopped asking.  It is a horrible feeling to know that I can't go to my mother and just say anything.  I hope to be a mother who my children feel comfortable asking me anything.  I know that Freaky is going to be that kind of father (no, I'm not pregnant...I'm talking about future children.) because that is the way his mother was with him and his brothers and sisters.

Pray about it by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #1 Tue Nov 28, 2006 at 07:21:34 PM EST
The words with which the deludedly devout says they're too selfish to think about anyone else. Even the idea of telling someone to pray is inappropriate.

I never figured out if she was unwilling or unable to answer my inquiries.  I don't recall asking anything too difficult.

One other possibility by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #5 Wed Nov 29, 2006 at 07:13:35 AM EST
is that she was simply unaware that she wasn't.

People can be stupid like that, and not know that they're avoiding closeness this way. Obviously I speak from experience, on both sides of the situation, unfortunately.

it isn't really an answer, either. by gzt (2.00 / 0) #4 Tue Nov 28, 2006 at 10:50:16 PM EST
I mean, grrrreat, you prayed about it. Now what? Quite unfortunately, God rarely peels back the skies and lays down an audible decree. What, are we supposed to then follow whatever stray feeling that drifts along because it must be God? Something is missing in it.

Fortunate there is no audible decree, by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #6 Wed Nov 29, 2006 at 07:17:21 AM EST
at least for many of the things I ask people for help about: you know, "Is she just being friendly?"; "How do I stop them ruining this idea without looking like the bad guy?"; "How do I tell my colleague she's not doing her job?", etc, etc.

Looking for direct answers to prayers is dangerous in my opinion. Petitionary prayers will be answered by the situation becoming clearer in concrete fashion, in the main. At least according to my model of the world.

My mom would probably get along well with yours. by clover kicker (2.00 / 0) #3 Tue Nov 28, 2006 at 08:45:12 PM EST
The difference is that I've been interacting with her on a need-to-know basis since I was about 12, and I like it that way.
