- Do I really need to agree with another woman's point of view, just because I'm a woman? Do I need to say, "Amen sister!" after every feminist comment made, simply because I'm genetically female? I don't think so. If I don't agree full-force with feminism, that's my prerogative and guess what, I'm still a strong, independent female who could run my own ship, but prefers to have the help and occasional leadership of someone else... and yes, that could be a man! Shocking!
- Sometimes I feel like I'd like to be meaner, but it's just not in my nature. If you push me hard enough, I will give you a piece of my mind, but... I like being nice. I get good results and people respect me. The only people that I feel take advantage of my niceness are the ones that always comment that I'm too nice. Are they trying to teach me something, or just being buttfaces? Probably the latter. As I've been told by many people, "you couldn't be mean if you tried," and "there's no such thing as being too nice." I agree.
- On a completely unrelated topic, I'm finally down 5 lbs with 5 more to go! I'm hoping that this weekends birthday festivities (for a friend, not mine) don't ruin that, but I have a plan. There will be mucho exercise this weekend. I will eat healthy for every meal that is not related to the birthday party. I will weigh myself on Monday and I will have either stayed the same or lost additional weight. It will happen.
- Working with teenagers is interesting. In some respects, they are really fun and I like them a lot... on the other hand... for Pete's sake, "Move your feet! Do something! Listen when someone is talking to you!!!" Okay, glad I got that off my chest.
- I think I might invest in that workout program "10 Minute Trainer" by Beach Body at some point. Has anyone ever done it? Is it actually what it says it is? I could find 10 minutes every day to work out. I'm just sick of the hour plus sessions.
- Even though I have been really stressed out over the past few months, I'm really having a good time after work and even during work, I really love a lot of my coworkers. They rock my socks. :-)
Love this post. ;)
ReplyDelete1 - Agreed. You are a strong independent woman & that doesn't mean you have to agree with the ultra feminist statements!
2 - Being nice is not a bad thing, i agree. And i'm nice too. Even quitting my job yesterday - i was nice. And i was praying i would be gracious, b/c i didn't want to cause any drama before leaving! Even though - they need to know that they are losing people b/c they are AWFUL! But i didn't. And i usually don't even if i want to. And that's a great time b/c usually when you do say exactly how you really feel, you regret it later! I don't want to be a doormat (& i'm NOT! I will put my foot down if need be!). But i don't want to be mean either.
YAY for reaching your weightloss goals! :)
