  • It Must Suck To be You.

    Another Friday night and I ain't got nobody.  Oh sorry, don't mind me, just singing the wrong words to a little ditty I know.

    Some call being in tune with others a gift.  I call it a curse.  It's especially hard when one does not have a degree in psychology, but can say with certainty that others at their work place are narcissistic, hypochondriac, socially retarded, and lazy. 

    For some reason, others who are not quite as in tune, are not as aware of other coworkers mental illnesses, and then the aware person ( that would be me) feels crazy and alone. 

     Eventually, those who are not as in tune as I am, will come to the same conclusion and diagnosis that I have reached months before.

    And then I will be forced to say "  Hello?  That's what I have been saying all along."

    But for now I'll just have to wait until everyone else catches up.

    Sometimes I just want to say " It must suck to be you."

    But it kind of sucks to be me too.  Because I am so in tune with other peoples issues, I get highly annoyed.

    I wish that I could be blissfully unaware of other people.

    But I have the curse. 

    And now I interupt this blog to give a message to Matt's friends:

    I am not the biggest gossip of the moms.  I can name at least two, who are way worse than me. 

    That is all.

  • You don't need a degree in psychology to identify crazy.

  • <You sent that to all your blogrings.  Haha.

  • I enjoyed all of that.

  • :tipsy31:

  • Here we are - another
    Friday night on Xanga:browndog33:

  • I do have a degree in Psychology. But,  I totally agree with TheTheologiansCafe.  We really are burdened with this discernment crap...identifying 'crazy' is second nature to us.  Oh well....

    As far as gossip goes....'Hey, you didn't hear it from me'...:hmmm22:

  • I have been experiencing this too this week!  .........yes..........ignorance is bliss..........I wish I was totally oblivious!..........dum-dee-dumm-dee..........tweet tweet.

  • I've missed out...what happened to Rick?:elephant37:

  • Am I crazy?

  • Today, I could have used some help - the crazies were out in full force. RYC: Thanks! You made my day. Of the 300 comments I've read today, yours is by far my favorite!!!

  • :hug27:  have a great weekend :)

  • Oh I hear ya!  There are many times I wish I just did NOT 'get' people.  *sigh*

  • Oh, I thought I was crazy; now I know it's the other people.  Too funny, as usual:)

  • :o mg24: I have the curse, too!!!!  And I sometimes think that it sucks to be me.  I guess we just have to embrace our talent and just go with it!!

    Being a gossip isn't a bad thing ... I can relate to that!! :sillygrin28:

    Have a wonderful weekend, Laura!!

  • I have this situation with my husband. I can make pretty quick judgments and I'm always right. I can smell a rat from miles away. He thinks I'm judgmental and harsh. Then, when I turn out to be right, I have to try so hard not to say I told you so....It is rough sometimes always being right about people.

  • I feel crazy and alone sometimes, too.  I guess if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em!  LOL  :bubblegum36:

  • Bert Wheeler was who made the song "I Ain't Got Nobody" famous.  He was before our time.  Perry Como made that song famous when *I* was young.

    Even though you and I are not exactly in tune with each other, I still adore and admire you.  By the way, I just went to riddles.com and their riddles suck.  MINE is great.

    I didn't expect you to try to solve it.  But I know you're smart, and I KNOW you'd be grateful to me if you tried to solve it, and then solved it.

    But that's OK.  I still love you.

  • :blur6:

    curse the curse

  • Hey girl! :hi1: We stayed home from the lake this weekend since it is usually so crowded on the holidays, so I've been trying to get caught up with everybody today!  I was really feeling sorry for you on that vacation from hell and ummm :hmmm22:  you might not want to come visit my site for a while... the camping pics might just throw you into a "flashback" from hell!!! :omg24: :penguin9:  I know all you wanted was to :nap32: in peace!  Well... maybe eat something besides sardines too :cupcake14:  I didn't read all of the comments from your trip to get the new hairdo, but I'd probably be in the majority wanting to see a pic just because I am a very visual person! :sillygrin28:  Yay for Matt graduating :grad11:  so you don't feel any of the "empty nest" sydrome?  And I'm so glad you are in tune and realize that the other's just have to catch up... hey - at least you are giving them a chance to get caught up!!! :waddle16:  Well... sorry for the "book" of a comment - I just wanted to try and touch base on all that I've missed lately - I do miss being on Xanga as much, but the extra money is coming in pretty handy! :woohoo19:  So what song are you singing today? :guitar10:  Have a good one... go find you a bubbly:wine25:! :hug27::bye2:

  • it sucks worse to be me, but I know someone even I wouldn't trade lives with (and you know her too).  It kind of help me keep things in perspective.

    Gossip?  If kids don't want parents to talk about them, then they need to quit doing things that require parental venting.

  • I LOVE YOUR BANER. :tipsy31: TOO. LOL

    *HUGS* HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND. :hammock20:

  • My husband and I have the same problem with the political situation in our country. Very annoying that people take so long to figure out what the heck is going on, since by the time they figure it out, it is MUCH harder to fix. Bleck.

  • Hi!  When I used to work for a mental health center, the therapists were always diagnosing our co-workers.  Now I'm a school counselor and I confess I still do it, just a little......and I always feel a little faint when one of my co-workers goes on a rant.....hmmmm.  I'll just bet you can diagnose ME!

  • Just stick your fingers in your ears and chant "la la la...."

    RYC: you were right, of course.

  • Astute.  Alert.  Aware.  And not gossipy, but well-informed. 

  • I am the biggest gossip of the Moms.  I just hide it well.  Your son's friends read your blog?  I'd better go check my footprints to see if any of my son's friends read mine.  That's a scary thought.  :o mg24:

    I know what you  mean about the curse. 

  • That's a good gift to have. I'd say it wouldn't be so bad to be you.

  • In regards to gossiping.  It is always shocking when someone your own age dies but when someone you like who is your own age dies it is really sad. The best eulogy I ever heard  that  personified  a person was from my friends' son who said the thing he would miss most about his mom is walking into the grocery store(were grocery clerks) seeing his mom checking out a customer and knowing that by the time he got  to her ailse the customer would know his life story.  Just about every one who knew Pam cried  or filled up with tears at that moment.

  • I wish I could say it must suck to be you to others.  Sure would be fun.  :guitar10:

  • Other people annoy me too.

  • :woohoo19:YEP! I'm crazy!:tigger34:

  • "I got some money cause I just got paid"...(singing along)

  • LOL over the blatant use of xanga to defend yourself against teenaged boys accusing you of gossip! Tell them to head back to myspace and mind their own business! HA!

    It is so hard to wait for the rest of the world to catch up with us isn't it?

  • No degree needed LOL...that's really evident where I work.  Love your header picture...I want a year's worth to go!:greensmileys38:

  • I'm trying to get around to everyone's site today...since I have the time.  I always go back and read all of your posts no matter how long they might be...because they make me laugh...and God knows we all need to laugh more!  Congrats to Matt!  and glad you like your new hair.....Happy Memorial Day!

  • Here, I'll save you the trouble...

    I'M CRAZY! YEAH BABY, YEAH!!

    :elephant37: :sillygrin28: :tigger34: :browndog33:

  • Hope you had a great Memorial Day yesterday, mine turned out pretty decent all things considered. Had some burgers, a hot dog or two, chased the kids around until i was blue in the face, and then nearly dropped from exhaustion. Anywho I just wanted to stop by and say hello! -Bek

  • how dare anybody say that you gossip?!  you speak the truth!  PREACH ON SISTER!  Just so you know, you are the president of my 'why we hate dell computers' fan club!  They have jerked me around for three months on getting my laptop repaired, then they lost it and wanted to charge me another $200 to send me a new one!  Now I'm getting stalked to send back my original unit! :tigger34:  all the while i just laugh and remember your posting about trying to get your computer part.  And, btw--you do have somebody--all of us on this site!

  • I too am cursed with this. I hate it. If i decide to let someone in on my feelings, I'm told that I'm being paranoid or jealous or something of that nature. So, I stopped sharing my feelings and just roll my eyes and walk away.

    Someday, someone is going to figure out that I'm always right.

  • great post
