Shit endured

I am sure i have bitched about some friendships before so i will keep this little rant short and sweet. I have recieved an email from a friend(we live worlds) and she was berating me for asking about a girl we both know. She calims she emailed me about her own state of (bad) health and feels I am not being supportive, i am ignoring her emails and why am i asking about belinda.

Number one, i reponded to the email and i was very spportive, she keeps changing her email addresses so it's not my issue if she didn't get my message.
Two:Her issues with Belinda, who i incidentally knew before I ever met her but kept my distance because they kep competing for my attention by saying bad stuff about me and attributing it to each other, has nothing to do with me. I kept my distance from both of them, but we've kept in contact on and off.

I have my own issues to deal with, and i dont demand my friends to drop everything everythime. I have to female friends who although lovely have to see me all the time even when i want time to myself. Then they think it's personal, i dont like them anymore.

I think women should sometimes grow up. If they have deeper emotional needs than just a pep talk to a friend, then therapy is available. I think i am a supportive friend, and they tend to take me for granted because i always make time to see them even if i would rather be curled up in bed because i'm damned tired. This silly email though was the last straw

yesterday morning one of the managers(a silly 20yr old) was spolining for a fight. from the time i came in half sayinggood morning to the point when he flipped out, instructed me to follow him into the office and asked me if i had a problem with him. I said "no". he then said" can you do me a favour and shut up when i'm talking?! i dont know what your problem is, i think you have an attitude problem and maybe you need to go home and think and come back refreshed next week".

I turned round, took my mobile to ring his superior and told him what had trnspired. he tried to intturupt and told me to come down and take a little break. I told him i was going home to think about my attitude ajnd i'd see him hnext week. He was like a rabbit stuck in headlights. really impotent in his response. He said maybe the little boy did not feel respected(like i care? i mean his self esteem issues are not my rpoblem), so i took my stuff and left.

I had a really well-deserved 3hour nap, went out with a friend after and went to my landlord's birthday party after that.

Ive never been so livid and happy at the same time. i felt bad for letting the team down but i wont have a finger jabbed in my face and be told to shut up. he wasnt talking, i was speaking to someone esle and he was seeking attention.

I am wondering if i should lodge a formal complaint because he has upset several people before and one person quit because of him...

The boys say really rude and explicit things. from what they want to do to me and how they will do it. Turn off.

The men are just inappropriate, they say the same things the boys say in a polite manner.

So what's a girl to do?

I am very very frustrated with getting texts. silly texts. Do men know how to pick up the phone and ask for a date...i mean the ones i meet. I got a text asking me what days i am free to maybe go out. I replied by saying "ring me and tell me exactly when and where you want to meet. it's that simple". Why is the responsibility shifting to me?

If we agree to meet at Nottinghill gate because you want to take me out for drinks, why do you then ask me if I am hungry and then ask where i want to go?? What is that about?

Too bad I am too nice and polite because i only said, "you pick" and this was a man not a boy.

Girls aren't much better. girl friends are treating me like their boyfriends. "hi, i havent seen you for two days, i must see you or i'll go mad".

Get a puppy girlfriend, im too tired to play boyfriend.

phew!)
