Why do people in this day and age continue to be dishonest with each other? Is it for financial or self gain? Is it just to make themselves feel better or more important than the people they’re being dishonest with in the first place?
I’m growing a little tired of people talking behind my back, or making comments about me when they don’t think I’ll hear about it. I’m nearing my 40th birthday this week, and the grade school playground drama is getting REALLY old.
Thankfully, I still have some REAL friends who keep me in the loop about the people who continue to stab me in the back.
It’s pretty fucking disheartning to devote three full 14 hour days to a cause, only to have the people you helped throw you under the bus and tell your friends that they didn’t like or appreciate the work you did for them. For FREE, I may add.
Now granted, everyone is entitled to their own opinion on things and that’s fine. But instead of letting me hear about it through the gravevine or from a second hand source, why can’t you just man up and tell me face to face what was done wrong, or how I can improve on the job that I did? Especially after hearing the week before that there were things I could have done differently and I made those adjustments this week…Again, after hearing about it through second hand sources.
Whatever.
I’m sure I just threw a blazing torch on the bridge after posting this blog, but this is exactly why I’m walking away from these types of volunteer opportunities to focus more attention and effort on things I want to do, and not things that frustrate, or stress me out.
I deserve better than this.
