Never Cry Shit Wolf

I've been having a few issues in different relationships this week. Thankfully, I have an answer to these issues, and it's even a fairly easy one to follow through on! How awesome is that? And, therefore, how awesome am I?

Basically the problems that I've been having haven't been major ones. In fact they might not even exist for the other person. They certainly exist in my head and I don't like it. I try to pretend that I don't care, and that it doesn't worry or affect me, but it must, otherwise I wouldn't think about it so often. I try to tell myself that I'm above their catty bullshit, but I don't know if I am. One of the places that I'm having these thoughts is at work. Who'd have thought that there'd be drama there?

So yeah, it's nothing big, and it mightn't even exist, but I'm kind of over one person's near constant air of superiority. To start off with, I don't even understand how anybody could think that they are better than I am, but apparently they do. Secondly, I thought you should always try and treat people the way that you would like to be treated. I don't think anybody likes to have messages passed through somebody else when you're in the same room anyway. I don't think that anyone likes snide remarks made about them. I don't think that anybody enjoys disdainful looks. I don't think anybody like feeling like they never quite make the grade. It's really not very nice. It certainly doesn't promote healthy relationships in the workplace.

One of the most frustrating things about this relationship though, is that occasionally, every now and again, you'll get a little bit of sunshine through the grey clouds. You'll be given a small glimpse through their window. And that makes you wonder if you really are just imagining all that other rubbish. It is just a brief respite though. A bit of a breather. Things quickly return to the way that they were.

So, yeah, this is something that doesn't worry me, but it is something that I think about. I know that not everbody in this world will like me. I certainly don't like everybody, so I can't expect that of other people. Still, I don't think that a cold demeanour is helpful when you are working towards the same goal. You can at least pretend.

In other news, Grand Theft Auto is proving to be a bit of a time stealer. The new headphones I picked up don't seem to handle bass all that well. I think I might buy myself a Valentine's Day gift of a new pair. Nice ones.

I'm going to head down the coast this weekend. I'm going alone, but am keen to have some company if anybody wants to come on down. It should be a nice weekend. Have a swim. Have some food. Have a few beers. Whatever.
