How about we think before speaking??

My internship really must be helping how angry I get over stupid situations b/c this would have seriously pissed me off, now its just a bit flippin irritating.

So theres a woman who works in my building that I flat out dont care for. Every where she goes shes damn near a sprint and will bump you out of her way. When its time to go she sprints for her car and before you even realize her car is on she's backing up and giving you the "Get the f outta my way" look and arm raise. On 3 occasions Ive been behind her car when she backs up and once Ive had to smack her car with my hand to let her dumb@ss know I was right there. She'll also go outside to talk on her cell (which is awesome) but if youre outside talking to someone else, she stands all of 2 feet from you and has the phone on high volume and is yelling back. Irritating.

So she comes to my office for a little small talk with our secretary, who sits next to me, about the secretarys sons wedding in Oct. She asks where theyre getting married and Sec says ___ church. "Oh thats soo wonderful that theyre getting married in a church! Young people these days just dont get the sanctity of marriage and think getting married anywhere but a church is appropriate" WHAT?! Ok so what youre saying is that b/c I chose to get married outside under a gazebo (with a minister mind you) that I think marriage is some sort of game? How about the old "Think before you speak" ma'am? Are you gunna blame your inability to do that on the younger generation too? Gr. I decided to pick my battles and that wasnt it so Im venting here instead of ripping her asss wide open.

    Wait a minute.  Just you WAIT A MINUTE!?!?!?!

    Did my Bridgett manage to keep her trap shut when she actually had every reason not to???  Normally you jump headfirst into battles that are not yours... this one actually was... WTF?!?!?!  Are you feeling ok?  What is this world coming to?

    I don't know you as well as Monica, but I might have to agree on being slightly surprised about this too! 

    Guess I better call off my wedding that's in  a chapel...not a "real church" cause it won't count anyway..right????

    LOL!  I was waiting for the "punch line" on this one too (I was remembering the David's Bridal story, and how bad I wished I could have been a witness)!

    Haha sorry ladies. Being in my internship Ive got to seriously learn how to argue my point calmly b/c getting heated and flustered around addicts only gives them more satisfaction, not to mention could have me fired. So Ive decided I need to start by learning simply to shut my mouth. So thats what I did.

    Ive also been told my heart flutters may be due in part to unnecessary stress b/c I get so worked up over stupid things. So Im trying to breathe my way thru the BS so I dont need to feel like my heart is gunna jump out my chest 20 times a day :)

    Its ok though, I still yell/make snarky comments at people. Like the guy at Moes the other day who felt that if he breathed down my neck it would make the line go faster. It doesnt. I let him know.

    Edited b/c I cant spell
