Friday.
I think this is so far the only positive thing of the day *laughs*
I have a workshop today and tomorrow including an official dinner with my boss tonight. Really, I do not mind quite noble dinners or official stuff like this but well, I am not looking forward to this one as somehow I always have the feeling I am not allowed to act, be and say things how I would like to when he is around.
People who know me well can confirm that I am not one who starts discussions about gay weddings accepting people who suffer Aids out of nowhere, and surely I am not provoked so easily as I can ignore comments pretty well. But this man has a talent to drive me crazy within seconds.
You know these people who are rich and cannot imagine that you are not? That you cannot enjoy three holidays a year while they pay more than 3000,- dollars for a cruise? Just an example but then you can maybe imagine how he is.
Second thing is my computer and I am really curious what the problem is this time. I told several people already and when I describe what it is doing they all confirm that this does not sound good. Great. And *laughs* best thing is that I cannot even run a back-up and save all the files on a CD before the computer crashes completely because that CD.Rom drive which is my burner as well is damaged. Yes, lucky me *gg*
And guess what? *laughs*
I have a third thing to list on this awsome Friday - oh yes.
Some of you know already that I was on the way to become sick again. I am not complaining about the fact itself but... I was told now that all this being sick stuff is mental/psychic. I choked on my coffee when I heard that. No joke. At the moment I tend to say that this is nonsense as I have no idea what to do with this information.
So, my workshop starts in half an hour and I do not want to go.
(sorry for such a negative entry - I did not mean to complain and whine, it should be an up-date what is going on in my life and this was the result *laughs*)

And it seems your pc has the same problem. ;-)
Will call you, hon. Love you.

Maybe you can change out CD Roms before your PC crashes? They're not horribly expensive, or heck, even remove one from your work PC and pop it in your home PC. Though they might not take kindly to that, I guess. You can always save some stuff to LJ in private entries or something until you get things squared away.
I hope you are feeling better soon. I have a friend with fibromyalgia and she gets that "it's probably in your head" stuff all the time, even from doctors. It's hard, especially when you're dealing with pain and no seeming cause - people tend to think you're a drug seeker. So, poor thing, she's either a drug addict or a head case in most people's minds.
No need to apologize for the "negative" entry - we all do it sometimes. I'm just sorry things are negative for you right now. Life isn't always sweetness and light and it's nice to have someplace to vent and people to tell us it's all going to get better. Heck, I've been known to piss and moan on my own LJ a time or two. ;) Anyway, I hope your next entry is happier (because you're happier and feeling better) and that your workshop and dinner turn out to be more pleasant than you thought.
And with that, I'm off to work myself. :( But hey, at least it's Friday! :)

To read such wonderful comments made my life already better again.
And well *g* spent half of the night with that computer to reset, reload, reinstall, clean all hard drives, delete unimportant files (and some important files) which meant to spend some more time to download the stuff again I should not have deleted. And for now it seems to work *proud smile*

The boss thing...oh yes, and the rich never seem to relate to us poor folk. I suggest becoming a mute for the dinner *wide smile* Just kidding. You are easy to talk with, well-spoken and a gentleman....I am sure you can find some subject to discuss that he might relate to and not make either of you defensive...literature or history perhaps? I have no doubt you will get through it and carry yourself well. You always do in any discussion I've ever had with you, no matter the subject.
Now this computer business. If you can borrow an external harddrive, cd burner or zip drive and copy off all your info. Or cd burners are cheap enough, buy a cheap one and swap out the bad burner. My dvd burner is acting up *bites nails* so I understand your concerns about not being able to copy off stuff. I have an external harddrive that I copy everything over on for back up. Not to mention I burn dvd's all the time. *laughs* Anyways...I'm here if you need pc advice, I'll help all I can.
Now go get yourself another large cup of coffee and daydream your way through the workshop...*grins*

And well, people who should know it told me this mental sick thing. People who should really know it. But you kow me and the ability in ignoring facts *laughs*
I managed to smile and talk about the weather for more than four hours during the business dinner so I suppose I did it quite well. *winks*
Thank you again, dear!

Well, I'd be the computer god, but it didn't work on Mom's computer, so why would it work on yours? *hugs*
And--*hugs again* I sure hope it's all in your head. I have myself a mess of health problems, and plus, my charge is sick, too. I hopes yous gets betters!
Well, mmkays, do well at your workshop!

Don't apologize for that.
And as far as the homophobic boss is concerned....you need to think up realllly stupid questions to ask him when he starts spouting off on things. Just to make him answer further and dig himself deeper. Does he say these things only to you?
February 4 2006, 22:48:32 UTC 6 years ago
But thatnk you for the encouragement that I do not need to apoligse *smiles*
Well, my boss...
It was not as bad as I expected it to be, but bad enough *laughs*
I do not think tha it is something personal against me as (thank God) I never talk about too private things (in this case: sexual related things) but you know, these general statements can annoy and hurt you as well. Because even you do not want to know / you did not ask him what he thinks about this and that, he tells you. And he tells you negative things.
It is the same thing with the Pope and Rome. I am not interested to marry a man. I never was. So it does not affect me personally that Rome does not allow it. What affects and hurts me are the reasons they give us. It is just not right.
... and I am losing the line here *laughs*
Well, to keep it kind of short and simple: I think I did a pretty good job in keeping my expression straight and kind and doing some small talk about the weather.

Well, anyway, I'm very glad you survived it and I do hope that you can find others around you at work that feel the same as you. It perhaps might not feel so bad if you know you have others who know your boss is a jerk too.
