Its amazing how one day, a friend can tell you how wonderful you are. They can say that they are lucky to have you in their life. That friend says that they know that, no matter what, we will always be friends. It seems to me that statements like that ought to mean something, those statements should have meaning behind them… Apparently to some, those are just empty statements. Its sad. I tried to help a friend with something (computer related of course) but circumstances did not allow me the time to do it promptly. Instead of being understanding; instead of being patient, this friend just keeps pushing buttons, kind of like the kids on TV in the back seat on a road-trip constantly asking, “are we there yet? are we there yet?…” Everyone knows how that ends. The kids get yelled at! Now, by no means am I any kind of better than my friend, and I am certainly not their parent, but I let this person know that I would let them know as soon as I knew something and that is was not necessary to continue asking. In my mind, that was a very short way of putting it, and yeah, it could have been worded better, but a text only gives you so many characters! :p Anywho… long story short, according to this friend, I am now some controlling bitch that “owns” everyone. It seems to me that if all those things that were said in the beginning of this paragraph were true, this friend would not travel down the road he did. But, unfortunately, he did. Now I have seen this before with this friend. It has happened countless times, but never to me… Something VERY minor sets this person off, and usually after they have their temper tantrum, things settle back into routine. Its a very common thing for a spoiled brat to do. Well, not this time. I don’t need a friend that is going to blow up at me when I am trying to help them. Its a slap in the face!!! I don’t need someone that will , on a whim, just throw away all the late night calls, the reassurance, the advice, and the comfort when they just needed a friend. I have been a good friend, but I am not going to have any more one-sided friendships. And I am certainly not going to be like this person’s mommy and daddy, and just put up with it. This person has some work to do if things are every going to go back to the way they were.
Other than that, I had a great weekend!!! Work was fun.
