Sounds like God has given you a cross to carry at your workplace. He gave one to me in my family. At this point only He is the strength and guidance you can really use. I will say that if you start feeling unappreciated there and that there is no room to grow, do what Babylonian merchants would do and "take your wares yet to another city"

Oh, I have to close my eyes and pray many times to get through the day.
Right, now I can't leave. I have insurance, and I am able to help my family with my income. I used to work two jobs with more then 12 hour days and not get half the pay with no insurance. I guess with that, I have to "get over it" like I hear and be stronger. I'm learning.

The suffering may prove fruitful in the future. You're in my prayers.

Here's the commercial in question:

YouTube - Pine Pellets

"Georgia is the Saudi Arabia of pine trees."

Yeah, again, that conjures up bad, bad imagery.

Good to hear the quote in question. Gotta be honest, as soon as Roy Barnes opened his mouth and said "When I'm guv'nah," I immediately thought of the Dukes of Hazzard.

Why must I work with people who don't want to do their jobs? I just ask for help. Put this hear and don't make me walk over to double check it. You are an adult. can you please do this for me. I'm tired. I'm drained. I'm the worst teacher in the world. =*(

Noggy, stop it now. You're an awesome teacher, you have a great way with kids, and you just happen to be working with a bunch of jerks. And no, I'm not saying it just to make you feel better.

And all those goofy promises he makes, like no teacher furloughs ever and nobody will lose their homes without discussion about it...it's like...wow, why don't you promise the streets of Atlanta be paved with gold and the trolleys of Savannah replaced with flying unicorns?

I'm suddenly reminded of a line from the old British show Spitting Image. David Owen is running in the 1987 election and is making all these outlandish promises. One of his fellow party members asks, "How do we know we can keep all these promises?" Owen replies, "Well, we're not going to get in, are we?"

I left four days on vacation and they flipped out. Still nothing. They take things for granted.
My favorite lines are, coming to me talking about someone else and excepting me to react. When they get nothing, they keep doing it. When they get nothing, they do it about me to others.

And then they tell me I have an "attitude." Really, I am the single most professional person in that place. I'm just exhusted.

It sounds like it could be a boundry issue. Do you pick up the slack when people don't pull their weight?

If so, maybe you should set clearer boundries, let them know - and brush off comments where you are clearly not responsible. Some people will seek out weak spots (especially if you aim to please) - and exploit them. Don't let them.

Days aren't nearly long enough for everything that I want to do. Although I suppose they're long enough for everything that I need to do, it would be nice to have a little more time.

Then I would have to change my whole personality. I have no idea how to do that, honestly. No idea what so ever.

And yes, I do pick up the slack. That is why I am so tired by the end of the day. So, restless by the end of the week. And, hardly get my own work done when I do get home.

I finally got around to watching the E3 presentation of Killzone 3. I wasn't really that impressed with it, but then again I didn't get to see it in 3D. But then again, I think this whole 3D TV thing is going to be a short lived gimmick. So yeah.....

I want the 3-D scene to die a long death, come back to life, then die again... this time forever!

I don't understand humans.

Hi Ethnog Sorry to hear about your work situation, my mum has been in a similar situation for some years now(she's also a teacher). Having watched her go through it I know how hard it's been for her and how strong she's had to be to keep going. I will be praying for you and I really hope things improve soon.

Man, screw you, society. Even though I am single, I can still eat what I want. If I want a nice thick rib steak with a couple of crispy Stellas or a glass of wine, then that is what I am going to have. I will not avoid having this because I am single and do not have someone special to share this with (I have friends I can share it with but they can buy their own steaks). There is nothing sad about having nice food on your own, and there is nothing sad about having a bit of alcohol on your own. So screw you. I do what I want, and I don't care about some jerk who sits around thinking of social conventions who thinks that because I do not have a girlfriend I should only eat Kraft Dinner and waffles and be miserable.

Society, you want to look down on me because I'm single? That's fine. I look down on many of you because you are in stupid relationships for stupid reasons. But you want to tell me what to eat? Screw you.

Also, screw you, people who put their Facebook statuses as this big serious thing like "I'm done. That's it. I just can't handle today anymore" and then reveal that it's because a customer yelled at you while you are at work and your boyfriend forgot his wallet so you had to pay for the movie tickets. If you are going to broadcast your problems to the entire world, at least make sure you have problems that are actually worth broadcasting. I am so sick of being concerned over people who say that they're going through a very difficult time and then find out that the problem is something like having a crush on someone who didn't like them back or missing the bus or whatever. Man.

I concur with the above rant.

 

[trentlogain2]

I hate life.

 

[Apollo Celestio]

They say you'll go places, but I know I'll return to where I came.

I don't know, but I feel like my friends have the devine right to post whatever they want on their status' even if it annoys me.. if that's the way they want to express themselves then fine. They don't even have have to be my friends. At least they aren't afraid to feel something.

That being said... I think I'd try and comfort them if they said something like "im tired of living" because of something small like a a crush not texting back. That could be something serious. But that's just my oppinion.

 

[Stravinsk]

This isn't really a rant...I don't have anything worthy to rant about at the moment and I think rants are sort of non-productive generally...unless they lead to good advice or a solution by others...but...

If your an Aussie female and you call me "mate" - it's an immediate turn off. Calling me "mate" sort of purposely ignores the differences in our gender and it's equivalent to putting me in the friendzone before I'd even try.
