For the Week of Mar 29th, 2010 -- You have two distinctly different sides, Pisces. One is careful and super sensitive and the other is willing to go whichever way the wind blows. It's the wilder part of you that's likely to be in charge this weekend. Go out and have a good time as long as you remember that this is all about having fun rather than making a commitment or settling down. -tarot.com
For someone who doesn't seem to notice an detail at all, I rmbed someone I met at A. He was this super good looking Indian guy. And he was a construction worker. And he was only 20 years old (I saw his work permit), one year older than me.
What the hell. And I'm being such a self-absorbed ass, always thinking I don't have enough. I'm not assuming his life is sad. I just don't think he has it easy. So, for every snide comment about others I make, I'll keep thinking of how they can't help it anyway.
Like the time at PizzaHut with W, and being the social snobs we were, we gave disgusted glances, glared or rolled our eyes whenever the diners at the next table whistled loudly for the waiter and made gross remarks about...toilet habits. When they were gone, we unanimously said "Boor-ish" was the word to describe them. We then went on to talk about the couple's kid, who would naturally learn much from his obviously well-educated parents, and proceed to be likewise despised.
I don't claim to be ashamed because they did made me feel nauseated and lose my appetite. And it is only common sense to shut up about shit -yea, literally- when at a restaurant. But I think for all the horror I channelled their way, it'll be payback in karma for me, when in my next life, I actually find humour in shit.
I really don't know what to think. Let's just not go to PizzaHut next time, shall we?
Sometimes when people treat you badly, your first thought would be revenge. Which is what would be if I actually quit. Payback is best served cold, and if I lose out, so do you. For all the worldly knowledge gleaned from working so long, one would expect the other to be more understanding. Hell, no. For some people, if they don't have it, they'd rather you not have it too, though it benefits them none and causes the former plenty of pain.
Which would not have been much of an issue if the extra effort was suitably acknowledged. It becomes sticky when one person gives in, yet is dealt all sorts of accusations and annoyance. And stickier when the accusations were actually unfounded, and horribly twisted and untrue.
Rats really say all sorts of stuff they can make up just to save their asses. And I'm just not small-minded enough to point fingers back and rub it in. We do appreciate being treated with an open heart and understanding. However one can only stand so much mean-ness and calculative behaviour.
I'd say, yes, it would be irresponsible if I just ran off and you were short-handed. It would have been my fault. But again, I have no real motivation or attachment to be so dedicated when the permanents are so laissez faire.
