How hard is it really for people to communicate with one another?
I find myself asking this quite often, as we (myself and co-workers) get our panties in a wad because of issues that could be resolved if people would just express in a direct and respectful manner what's bothering them and see if offering up a solution would end the problem.
Not where I work.
Yes, I love my job. (I'm not lying). It does come with added stress, being a teacher, but I do genuinely love it. I really have a sick taste in my mouth for those who continue to come to work when all they do is complain. It drags others down with you and makes the day even longer than it should be. I will confess, I do complain and do express my complaints, but I do try (key word, try) to find the positive in the situation.
The same goes for communication in my personal life. I thought I was being honest in saying that I wanted to take a step back from the 10-day relationship I previously ended. I get a text today from said guy that says "R we speaking today?"
I didn't realize that when you break up with someone that you continue speaking to them; however, I have done this with guys who I was/am on good terms. Well, I responded with "Why are you being like that?" and he replied "Like what... i was just wondering how u felt about me today...lol"
Didn't I tell you this about 2 weeks ago? Do guys just not listen to anything you tell them? Or clean up after themselves? (found a beer bottle cap behind my post-its 2 weeks later, when there's a garbage can underneath my desk). Second confession, I did call him last Friday to see how he was doing... I need to stop doing that.
Maybe the man-cleaning thing is enough for a separate post...
My All Good Things moment for today: Taking Charley to get his toenails clipped and treating him to some goodies for being such a good travel buddy in the car. It's so nice not having to clean up after his messes, especially while driving.
