aftermath of yesterday

It's funny how you feel and act completely different when you are no longer upset. Then you look back at when you were angry and wonder if it was all really worth it. The fact is I never lost my cool around the co-worker that left.

I knew for certain that she was friends with the other 2 co-workers in our little office. In fact one of them criticized her, and I think she was trying to get me to say something worse about her. But I didn't take the bait. I just agreed and kept working.

Another point that I find very interesting is that once the co-worker was gone, then the other 2 workers talked more to me and initiated more conversation with me. We actually ALL felt like we were in the same group. It was no longer "The 3 Young Clerks and the Older Guy". We were given extra assignments b/c she had left and I volunteered to do one of them. So, the hope is that we will continue having good times working among ourselves, and that soon they will get more help.

He he he he...I understand what you mean about those moments. This is esp. true for me when I'm having my PMS. If I'm aware that I'm having PMS, that means I have to tell myself that I'm exaggerating and the matter is probably not as serious...because once PMS is gone, it's usually true!!! :-)))

You're so awesome, Amel. I love the way you are so candid and open about that.
I got to say that I feel a little guilty writing about not liking somone. I mean God says we're supposed to love everyone. I sure don't love that person very much.

Well, we're only humans, aren't we? :-))) We can only do our best and ask for God's help in changing us...until we are able to change to be more like Him, I find that it's sometimes wiser to stay away from people we don't like, if we can help it HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE...

If we can't help it, then may God help us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
