1. Why do people get so worked up about absolutely nothing? I have recently witnessed someone make a completely innocent comment on Facebook, and get rounded on for it! The content of said comment isn't really important, but I can assure you there was no need for the tongue lashing that ensued.
2. Why do people (women) assume that I'm an idiot just because I don't have children? Apparently when a woman gives birth they don't just have a baby, they also become a complete know all! I'm so sick of mothers saying to me "you won't understand until you have kids" when the topic of conversation had nothing to do with children!!! I have always wanted to be a mother, but now I have the added reason of wanting children so that I can become a pain in the butt, mouthy know all.
3. My new job involves me visiting my local airport regularly (my students work at the airport). I am finding it such a palava getting in and out of the place. Last week I spent 15 mins driving to the airport car-park, 15 mins waiting for the bus to take me from the car-park to the airport, 5 mins walking to my destination, 5 mins waiting for someone to escort me to the information desk, 40 mins waiting to see my student, blah, blah, blah. I was there for 3 hours and only spent 45 mins with my student! It's a nightmare! Sadly there is nothing I can do about this.
I could go on forever, but this will suffice for now. I actually feel better for that! Happy post next time, I promise.

Cathartic??
ReplyDeleteI hate facebook drama....especially when the ones arguing are a family member and a close friend. Grrrrr!
ReplyDeleteHow uncomfortable is that....
ReplyDeleteOh no, that's completely uncomfortable. Talk about mountain out of a mole hill! When I started writing this post I was thinking of a recent post of Matt's that seemed to cause a bit of(unwarranted)controversy, and then I saw the comments on your post!
ReplyDeleteI hope everything has calmed down
Jo, you've made me laugh. Especially number 2. But you know what, it doesn't stop when you have a baby. It just changes to "just wait until he gets colic/ starts teething/ is 2 years old/ goes to school", alternatively "you won't understand until you have 3". And yes, even if the topic of the conversation is the peace process in the Middle East or bathroom tiles.
ReplyDeleteHope you're well!
