We had a "going away" party for one of our bigwigs on Friday.
Which meant wine, on the job. I had a glass (or two) and went downstairs to spell the person at customer service. So he could go up. It was supposed to be a half hour lunch, but he got a little drunk and spent an hour up there.
It offended me, to say the least.
I had wanted to take my break early and go back upstairs, but he didn't get back until it was too late.
It made me a little sad. Too many memories of being the one left behind when people went to the party and I couldn't. The perils of being a teen mom. Never mind that I NEVER seemed to have as much fun as everyone else at these things. =)
It only mattered that I couldn't go. Apparently, I've not come to terms with it as much as I would've liked....or else it wouldn't have bothered me?
I don't know...part of it was people not seeming to realize I was making sure they could have some fun, and then they coulda cared less about me having any fun.
It felt a little like I was being taken advantage of. So I climbed to the top of the Lillis building on campus and sat up there until I got too afraid of the birds circling.
I didn't want to get shit on.

I previewed the video. It's WEIRD to hear me...I don't sound like that in my head.
For the most part this video is just me being strange, loving the campus.
When I tried to explain how mad I was about the thing at work, my voice caught a little. I'm not even sure that anyone but me would catch it. I can hear it.
What's really strange is that if someone else had been up there, anyone I know and they'd show concern or caring, I woulda started bawling. It doesn't really make sense to me that I cry so much easier in front of people instead of when I am alone. I'm sure most people are the other way around. It's just that caring...I don't know why...perhaps I spent too much of my life thinking people didn't really care about me and when someone shows they do, I can't handle it?
I've been thinking about this....and I just don't know what to make of it.
I would like to know why I can't just be normal.
Crying easier in front of others makes me feel like it is manipulative. And I don't want to be that way. But it doesn't matter WHAT I do, if someone asks what's wrong, I just explode into waterworks.
It's gotta make me look stupid. I mean, really. I'm sure people think what the hell is wrong with her? Why can't she be like everyone else and just hide when she is sad?

I wish I had an answer for them and me.

You know if I had been up there with you, I'da been like "quick, let's see if we can spit on that guy and hide before he sees us!" :D

Ariel ~ I don't think gravity would have done it's job. We woulda had to spit BEFORE he even left the building.
Clairvoyant spitting. There is something I'd like to figure out. Then you'd even know who deserved it.

Karina ~ Then I woulda cried harder and we would have just set each other off over and over. I would not have been able to go back to work after that. As it was, I refused to take my sunglasses off, just in case. =)
