I disappointed three people today. All of them close to me. One I promised I'd call before a certain time. The second I said I'll catch up with for a drink later. The third I said I'd go clubbing with and give a lift to a few hours ago

girl don't be so hard on yourself. everyone makes mistakes. it's the idea of learning from them, which i think you're doing.

like you, i can put away personal problems to do work. in fact, i often arrive late to things because i want to stick around and get something else done. just one more. what'll it hurt? i'm always late anyway and my friends know that.

but yes, if you make appointments, it's important to keep them. you can plug away at work all you want, as long as you can still keep your promises to friends. it's important to find balance and realize that sometimes if you do something the next day, it won't kill you.

and yes, that last sentence is something that you should think of every time you think of blowing off someone for work.

thank you. i like this advice. :) but the balancing act is so hard.

Probably a good idea not to make committments if you know you're likely to break them.

so true. i'm guilty of that. i think it's the 'superwoman' syndrome when us women think we can do it all.

i used to be a finance journalist. career change => sell property. :P

We have something in common -- we've been neglecting our friends. I've been trying to change that lately but I'm scared that they won't take me back or hold me as precious as I do to them anymore. I keep telling myself that I should appreciate them more and show that I do cuz I know I get agitated when it's done to me. I don't want to be a hypocrite but I'm finding that I am.

I feel so bad that I've let my friends down. True friendship is so hard to find these days and here I am neglecting the few that I've got.
Me too. *Sigh*

[michcapish]

yes. the good news is that true friends will take you back.

my friends and I are cool and turns out that i'm being hard on myself.

don't neglect urs!

Girl, don't feel bad about last night with me. I didn't even feel bad at all. I understand your committments and it doesn't make me feel like you're less committed to your friendship with me.

Trust me, real friends are hard to push away because even if you tried, they would pull you back.

Love you girl... give this new job the best you've got. Once you've reached your destination and you're happy, this friend will be there with you to celebrate!

I agree. Real friends know you're bound to disappoint each other once in a while, but the test of a really good friendship is surviving those disappointments.

the test of a really good friendship is surviving those disappointments.

i agree. when my friends cancel on me or when they can't be there for me, i always try and look at it from their viewpoint. sometimes life gets in the way and one can't be there for friends ALL the time.
