That's me in the corner

I've got a doctors' appointment scheduled for Wensday...I'll have to go after work. My mom told me on the phone after I asked her why she sounded so weird that she's afraid that I'm going to die. Just the thing I needed to hear. I know I'm not going to over diabetes, but just the fact that she said it at all makes me uneasy. Well, I'll get every ( Read more... )

*gets all confused*
you have diabeties ?
or are you getting tested for them ?

theyll probably do a blood test, i dont remember what its called, but it gives them a general idea of what your blood sugar has been like over the last few months. as well as some other things..if you ARE diabetic, they will get you an eye appointment, theyll check your sense of touch, check your circulation and blood pressure, etc ( ... )

um.. i don't know you and though i'm all for being truthful and shit..
way to fucking SCARE her. she just got done telling us about how her mom is afraid she'll die and shit, i don't think nessa needs someone telling her SHE's going to die now. just because you had a bad experience, don't take that out on her, okay?

you FUCKING IDIOT

im being HONEST with her.
i AM diabetic.
i KNOW what its like.
dont tell ME im trying to scare her, because i have been through this.
every diabetic has.
it is FUCKING HARD to go through.
of course i wouldnt expect an ignorant fool like you to understand this.

this is REALITY.

all i wanted to do was help her through something that is more difficult than you could EVER imagine

good, you can use the shift key. i'm happy for you. unfortunately it doesn't add any credibility.
and um... let me just say that i may be a "fucking idiot", but just because you're diabetic doesn't give you any right to say things like this about me, or things like this to nessa. this is a scary enough thing without someone telling her she's going to die.
it may be reality, yes - but the bigger reality is she needs support, not condemnation from someone who apparently KNOWS what it's like to go through it and/or to think you're going to "die".
"i'm diabetic/i know what it's like" is NOT a disclaimer to say whatever you want.

and just for the record--i was at high risk for juvenile diabetes years ago. i know what it's like as well.
it's sad you've had to suffer, but just because YOU are willing to use your disease as an excuse to act like a fucktard to the rest of the world, don't put us through your shit.
thank you.

Call Centers...Blah. angeljuliet February 26 2003, 15:45:47 UTC

I wish you luck on getting the job, I really do. Just...UGH! I've worked in a call center before. It was NOT fun. It's boring as hell and they had all these weird...policies...but that's just me. ^___^;;;;
