About a month eh?

Time flies when you are having fun. Or not. There've been a lot of changes in my life in the last month or so. Good ones and bad ones. The biggest one Ithink is the stabbing in the back of someone I thought a friend of mine. I either am the worst at seeing someone's character or people nowadays are just plain evil. Maybe a little of both perhaps, but I've always thought I had good judgment of character. It does call for a rethink I guess. Mostly, people now just piss me off. They are either stupid or selfish, or both. In this past case, I would say both. I've been betrayed before, but never so clumsily. It's kinda sad that someone in their 30s would pull a stunt that didn't work even in middle school.

Let me expound, I've a former friend who thought they could air our argument (which wasn't really an argument) to all her 'friends' on MySpace, remove me as a friend so I couldn't see it, and expect me not to find out. Is that not the most childish thing you've ever heard? I know even my 12 year old daughter went 'What?' when I told her.

It all stated because I was unable to answer the dozens of IMs she sent me throughout a couple of days. I mean I WAS at work, and I wasn't at my computer at the time. Yet, instead of getting no response to the first and figuring I was busy, she kept at it. Like a rabid woodpecker. As if the more the IM'd my empty cube, the more likely it was going to answer. If my cube ever shows that kind of sentience, I'll put it to work. :)

SO, the next morning, I get an IM saying 'So is this how you say goodbye to a friend?' I snapped. I made it clear that I was busy. And that if I didn't reply I most likely wasn't even at my desk. She needed to get a grip and that I would IM her when I had a chance.

Granted I used harsher language but there was no name calling, I just said she needed to get a grip. So, she posts ONLY the part of the log that made me look like an idiot to get sympathy and to be the 'victim'. I found out about it and ripped her a new one and told her she needed to stay away from me until she grew the hell up.

Now, I know I wasn't wrong. This isn't about that. This is just me getting out my frustration over my horrible judgment of her character. I must be losing it as I get older or something.

Oh well. Life goes on.
