It really frustrates me to no end that some people can be so rude. Being the kind of person that I am (i.e, someone with strict principles), it really pisses me off when other people or I get mistreated unfairly in anyway. Without naming names, I've been very frustrated with a certain person that I recently met. We met because of a mutual friend but I know that I would never be friends with this person on my own. The first impression I had of her was that she was snobby, very picky, and judgmental (although I'm probably judgmental too for having that impression!). I tried very hard to see her differently and to give her the benefit of the doubt but my inital impressions of her just keep getting reconfirmed with every encounter.
Anyway, we have to work together for an upcoming event but I think that she's spreading it around that I haven't pulled my weight in helping out for this event! If I, in fact, did NOT do anything, I will admit to it but the truth of the matter is, I helped out a lot. I just don't advertise it. It pisses me off because now other people are starting to believe her. Look, I do not need any certificates or trophies to praise my contributions-- all I need is to be acknowledged.
Grrr... however, I should calm down. As long as the main people in this event know that I did do my share (and they do and are very appreciative), then it's ok with me. I can't wait until it's over, I'm sorry to say.
