i think this is an angry post
you know i don't really mind so much that i was no one asked me if i wanted to work the conference and i don't really mind that i had wake up at 5 in the morning (during my summer) to drive to waikiki, still catching the hell traffic, and i don't really mind that i was pushed in to lei - ing the speakers and i don't even mind that the boss had his side salad work the conference with us as a "volunteer".
BUT, i do mind rude people. like the bitches i encounted at the fuckin conference today.
i mean, for the most part people were friendly. but then there are the 2 or 3 that just think they are so much better than everyone else. someone needs to pop their fuckin bubbles.
i hate being a sales person. someone always trying to hold you accountable. it's my not fuckin business. FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!
so, side salad is so shallow and ingenuine and she's such a flirt. always after older men. i mean, seriously i didn't see her having any conversations with women. and she didn't really do any of the work, we did. she just sat around and listened to the speakers and ate and then ingratiated herself with key members and the wives of keynote speakers. i think she was there to network.
so, i don't really care that she's screwin the boss, but that she is so annoying and fake just drives me nuts. and it didn't really bother me before, even though it bothers everyone else, having to spend two days around her really pushed me over the fence.
so, we got into a little conflict. it was more of a misunderstanding about words. (she's an FOB from china, but she seems to communicate efficiently every other day of the week.) i'm trying to explain something to her about what the wife of a speaker was saying. but she wasn't having it and wasn't hearing it. then she says, "well, you know she's hard of hearing and older, you should be more understanding." and "you don't need to be rude to the wife of the keynote speaker.
what the fuck?!
i was not rude to anyone. (except maybe her.) where does she get off!?
what i'm worried about is what she's gonna say to the boss. so, i guess i'm gonna have to be assertive and use my mediation skills to fix this one. i'm not too worried about that but, why did she even have to be there?
so, adrienne asked me if i wanted to mediate professionally. i'm not sure. but i told her i'd think about it. well, i think it's a good skill to have, it's community service, she thinks i'd be good at it (which flatters me like you wouldn't believe), not to mention that manoa has a conflict resolution graduate program. i'd be a shoo-in.
on another note, davin and sharla are trying to set me up with ray. ray is davin's friend. he seems artsy, which i think is attractive. i've heard his guitar stuff and it seems good. i love musicians. i don't know though. i haven't met him. we'll see.
edwin's coming on sunday. i'm excited, but i don't know what we're gonna do. i think i'm gonna take him to work or he can stay at home. he said he's not making decisions and i don't feel like deciding, so i don't know what's gonna happen.
i bought my books.
i'm feeling restless. i think i need a love interest. or a trip. we'll see.
so, i'm thinking i'll be in florida during spring break. i don't know yet.
oh man, i want someone to talk to. i'm lonely and pissed off. i think few would volunteer right now.
i meant to post pictures of davin and drunk sailor sharla, but i don't seem to have it on this computer. i think they're on my jump drive, oh well, maybe next time.
