t's not anything earth-shocking, but since the thread has the word "rant" in its title, that's what I'm gonna go:

- At work, my friend Wendy got sick and while she stayed very calm, I worried a lot. She's on medication because of a problem with her lungs. But a side-effect of the medicines is severe and fast heart-beatings, which make her feel dizzy too. But if she doesn't take them, she can't get enough air. So either way, she's fucked. She had to stop working for a while and said she had to go to the bathroom to calm down and when it took longer and longer for her to return, I panicked a lot more than her. At the end of the day, she said she was feeling better.

- Another co-worker of mine with whom I usually go out Friday nights can't go because she has been sick all day; she has food poisoning.

- One of my co-workers promised me all week (at her own initiative) to take a trip with me this Saturday. She has cancelled on appointments at the very last moment a few times before, so I didn't really believe her. So today before she was done working, I asked her if our plans were still on and she said yes. She would call or text me about the time and place we were supposed to meet. She never called or texted and when I call her, I only get voicemail and she doesn't answer my text. Clearly, I can't trust this person. But then why does she keep asking me out herself?

- Next Monday, I'll have to start at 8 AM at my job, instead of 9, like I'm used to. The person who wanted to exchange shifts (and thus working hours) with me, only agreed at the very last moment, which was way too late to change times.

- I have fought half an hour with my computer to get any Internet connection at all.

- When I got in the shower, I discovered too late I forgot my towel and had get through the cold wet and naked.

- I lost another kilogram. That makes seven in the past 4 months. If I would catch a cold now, I would have a very hard time recovering.

Wao.

I really needed this post.

Here goes my Greek life tragedy buy going to focus on my last years:

-IĀ“ve been trying to graduate from college since I started in 1999 when I decided to study advertising.

LOTS of things kept me from my goal.

1. I started at this college that I liked just to figure out that the Communication department was the worst one. With 2 to 3 professors leading it and they didnĀ“t care for the most part. So, I decided to make a transfer but it wasnĀ“t possible because I didnĀ“t have enough credits.

2. Decided to move to the US (IĀ“m from Puerto Rico). Wanted to go to New York but wasnĀ“t possible. So I ended up in PA in a college were I was told that, altough they didnĀ“t offer Advertising, they did have several Communication classes. LIE. Just a single one. But since I already paid for it had to stay.

3. Decided to study abroad in Spain for a semester where I made a girlfriend and decided to someday come live with her.

4. Went back to PR to a different college. Everything was great until I had a small car accident. Nothing serious at all. But after a while started having back problems and discovered I had hurt my back and had to drop the semester because I needed full rest for several months.

5. Got better. My girlfriend left me becuase my "best friend" got in the middle of our relationship and destroyed it; altough...of course, I still blame her for not even tell me what happened or let me explain anything.

6. Kept going with my classes until was diagnosed with epilepsy after several seizures. And since my doctor was just studying me and was under strong medication (and I drove to the college) told me that had to drop for the semester...yet again. When for the first time ever I got 4.0.

7. CouldnĀ“t enroll again just like that because if I did and couldnĀ“t keep on going they would have charged me for it. So, since I had to wait for my doctorĀ“s approval couldnĀ“t enroll on the date. I went to my Communication director and, altough I had my medical record, didnĀ“t let me because classes had already started (3 days).

8. Sued the college but lost because they had the rights to not let me.

9. Having lost places to study in PR and didnĀ“t want to go back to the States. Decided to move to Spain (since I really liked the country).

10. They wouldnĀ“t let me enroll just like that because I was American and had to wait for a whole year. Just to know that it wasnĀ“t possible.

11. Could enroll in a private college, where they didnĀ“t acredited a single class so I had to start from zero. BUT had no other choice so I decided to do it.

12. At the end of the year, someone I knew, because of personal reasons that werenĀ“t true, went into my department and hit me; if I didnĀ“t fight back could have killed me.

13. Of course, that ended up messing my mind as well, couldnĀ“t concentrate or deliver my worked on time so I lost the year.

14. Another year went by and I couldnĀ“t enroll.

15. Finally, I got enrolled last year and finished my first one of Graphic Design.

16. IĀ“m on my second year (of three now) but IĀ“ve been having several health problems and IĀ“m a little left behind with my jobs.


...and thatĀ“s just my academic life.

My personal life is worse:

-I have no girlfriend.

-But of course, in order to do that, you must have friends. And I donĀ“t. Living here for 4 years and not a single one of my age.

-And not because I havenĀ“t tried: since I donĀ“t have a job I just canĀ“t get out and spend the money I have to hang out, I tried Internet forums, met people but then they donĀ“t want to continue knowing you, my college is more like a school (where you have classes everyday from 9 till 2:00, thereĀ“s not that many people and you canĀ“t interact with others since they donĀ“t give you time for it) and becuase of it I canĀ“t meet anyone, and the people I meet just want to "hang out there" no one is really a friend that drops by your house, calls you or just want to be with you.

...and thereĀ“s the friend I have (more like a mother) that I introduced me to her children (that are around my age): the guy just didnĀ“t want to. Like I donĀ“t exist. While his sister is better yet: she despises me FOR NO REASON. the only thing I did was to try and be her friend and she canĀ“t stand me: she ignores me, bad mouths about me and mistreats me.


Plus, thereĀ“s been two years since I went back to PR...and giving the circumstances, more than enough reason for me to go back. To be in my country with my family and friends...but, since I donĀ“t have the money I donĀ“t know how will I go back.

That's awful. :( I haven't had a great college experience either, but at least I was able to do it all at once. It would be horrible to have to be bumped around so much because of health problems, bad departments, etc. I hope that you can find a way to go back to Puerto Rico if that's what you want. :)

About the friends thing--if it's any consolation, I've lived in the same area for 20+ years and I don't have close friends. Though it may be different for me because I think, in general, I like the concept of "friends," but I don't really like to be around people a lot. I don't like trusting people with my personal life, etc. :lol: With that whole incident with one of your "best friends," you could probably see why some people are like that. Of course, maybe it depends on finding people who are like you, because most of the people in my area and age group just want to go out and get drunk all the time. Sad. I think there are a lot of people in the US, especially college students, who are fairly isolated.

Oh, good. Just the kind of thread I needed.

So I am friends with this girl from work, let's call her W. (She's not the girl I was talking about earlier, the one I really liked.) It's very unusual, but in a very short amount of time, I've gotten pretty fond of W. and have gotten a bit attached to her. Outside of work, we've been out a couple of times and we text each other every now and then. But we both know I don't want anything from her other than a friendship and I know she has a boyfriend and she knows I respect that. I just care greatly for her and when there's anything wrong with her, I want to be the first one to comfort her, and I like to spend time with her. This hasn't gone unnoticed with our co-workers, of course, and people started talking. W. and I always laughed it off.

This weekend, I got a very angry text message from her boyfriend, asking me to stop chasing after his girlfriend. According to his message, she's annoyed by my text messages (even though she texted me herself one day prior) and she's irritated by the fact that I "follow her around all day" at work --which is ridiculous, but he wrote that this had been noticed by other people, too. He wrote that W. thought I wanted to be more than friends and that she was annoyed by my attention. Of course, this message was devastating to me. I tried phoning her, but she didn't respond. I send a text back to him, explaining he had nothing to worry about. You know, she has always been a very direct person and I was sure if she really felt that way, she would've let me know herself. But, being the worrier I am, I starting doubting everything and thus let this ruin my entire weekend.

I looked forward to today so much, because I would finally have the opportunity to talk to her. So I waited for her to come in for work, 30 minutes early as always, so we could talk and I could get everything out of the way. But she didn't come much too early, like she always does. She came in at the very last minute, so we had no time to talk. I did see her looking my way, smiling and waving at me enthusiastically. On her break, I caught her in the cafeteria, so I asked her if we could have a serious talk. She said "sure", but not at that time because her break was short and she had to call her boyfriend. But she would talk to me during her next break, around 4:30 PM. But that time came and went and she never came up to me. She only took her break around 5:45 PM, along with a few other co-workers. I decided to go after her anyway. Turned out she wasn't allowed a break at the time and we had to go back to our desks. She was pissed, of course and said to me, angrily, she had no time to talk now.

Later that day, when I was done working, I was waiting in the cafetaria to talk to her, but she came in and went out right away, because she had to have a serious talk with our supervisior to get a lecture of some sorts. It seemed like I could never catch a break. Everything I planned went wrong. Everything I wanted to do didn't work out the way I wanted it to. Everytime, something got in the way. It kept fretting at me. I am that way: these things keep spinning around in my head until they're resolved. When she finally came back in, she was annoyed and said she didn't want to talk until tomorrow. She just wanted to eat something, finally, and have some peace of mind. At that moment another girl, a real know-it-all, walked into our conversation and was giving me a third degree about why I couldn't leave "the women around here" alone. Apparantly, she had heard "more than one woman" had complained about me giving them attention. I guess getting someone a cup of coffee or asking how she is, is enough for some people to suspect possible romantic interest...

So me and this girl got bickering about this, and W. reacted very angrily at this, and she said: "I'm not here to be best friends with anybody! I'm just here to do my job and earn my money!" And then the other girl practically pushed me out of the cafeteria with that look in her eyes. I'm sure she talked bad about me to W. after I was gone. So at the end of the day, I still know nothing; I'm still in uncertainty; and I'm still a nervous wreck. And all those co-workers telling me it's no big deal and that I should just "forget it" aren't helping either. I can't let go these kind of things. Small as they seem to others, so huge they are to me.

My computer has been looping reboot everytime it's turned on since the 18th of December. My mom, a computer tech, has tried a lot of things to try to fix it. Three days after my computer started looping reboot, I loaded a freshly charged rechargable battery into my MP3 player and everytime I turned it on it immediately shut itself off. Everything on the Internet about how to fix this particuliar player wasn't able to fix it so I had buy a new MP3 player.

After reading Goliath many unfortunate and depressing stories involving girl trouble I can't help but thought of you, Goliath when I read this comic:

I hope your trouble get resolved.

Goliath, I hope you don't get offended or anything (although you did post publicly so I can't see why you would), but perhaps it would be a good idea to just chill out and not really socialize too much at work. I know you've been having girl troubles there, but think about it - would you really want to get involved with a coworker? That could lead to a lot of trouble...

Er... but that is exactly what I *don't* want from W., as I described in my post above. That's the whole misunderstanding: that people think I somehow want something from her, when I don't.

Today, part 2 of this little soap.

I came in early for work in order to talk to her. She had to start at 9:00 AM and me at 9:30 AM, so I was there already at 8:15 AM, because she always comes in early and we would be able to talk this over. So she came in and I asked her if she knew her boyfriend send me the text message. She said that she didn't know. I said it involved me and her and how she supposedly felt about me and I wanted her to read it so she could tell me whether or not all that was true. But she didn't want to read it; she wanted to call her boyfriend first to hear from him. She was annoyed with this situation and said she didn't want all this drama --like I asked for it! I didn't send that text.

Okay, so around 9:15 AM, far past the time she had to start work, she wasn't back, but a friend of hers came in to talk to me. Turns out she was angry with her boyfriend for sneaking behind her back and sending the text, but she didn't want to talk to me. I let her friend read the text and she said that was how W. felt. And I was so confused (and still am), because if she really finds my texts annoying, then why has she been texting me all these weeks at her own initiative? And if she really thinks I want something more than friendship from her, then why had she always expressed annoyance at co-workers who were so "childish" (her words) to not understand a friendship between a guy and a girl? And if she finds my presence during her breaks irritating, then why didn't she say so when I specifically asked her? Why did we have such good times at work up until now? It just doesn't make any sense.

Now, a lot of people at work are treating me as some kind of boogeyman because I supposedly have made W. "uncomfortable" by... what exactly? Still a mystery to me. Being there? Asking her how she is? Bringing her tea? Answering the goddamn texts she herself send me?! I mean, the more I think about it (and of course that's all I ever do all day), the more I'm angry at having to constantly defend myself for something I didn't do. I should be the one who's annoyed, not her. And still, when I hear from her friend, that she is outside crying, *I* feel bad for her. I don't know, maybe I should just stop caring about people....? :?

Let me tell you something. Girls are really weird and unusual creatures. They don't know what the fuck they want or do. This is why you are confuse by all this crap. Cause girls are confused creatures who can't make up their goddamn mind, especially over petty little shit. How do I know this? Cause my two sisters are exactly like that. Especially my younger sister. Girls love to draw out pointless crap thus creating pointless drama llama. Us guys are more practical and love to get things straight to the point and over with which is exactly what you were trying to do. W just being a girl that she is. I personally would not bother with it anymore even though you didn't start it nor want this crap. Girls are just fucking like that. Especially when they have a boyfriend.

My advice is ignore the crap for while to make everything cool down and clear away from everyone mind's. Then things might get better and back to normal again. I know it wasn't your fault, but it's probably the best suggestion since girls typically are just plain stupid when it comes to this type of crap.



your bro,
Chris

I guess I misread somewhere haha.

I would say, for now, don't talk to her for a while. In a few weeks you can start casual conversation, and unless you really care about her, just keep it at a work-friend level.

Goliath~ personally, I think she enjoyed any attention she was getting from you (which is why she'd initiate those text messages) until her boyfriend started having issues with it. I'm guessing he stumbled across your text messages on her phone and demanded an explanation. And now she's ridden with guilt and is dealing with it by passing the "blame" onto you, not just for the sake of her boyfriend, but for herself. Girls are notorious with mind games, and she's bound to feel better about herself if she starts saying sh*t about you to anyone that will listen. It's probably easier for her to stir things up than try to claim nothing's happening or admit she enjoyed the time you've given her. And it sounds as if she's enjoying playing the "victim" in front of all your co-workers right now.

I'd say drop the friendship altogether if she's going to start drama like that.

This.
Some girls will also use a friendship like this to make themselves look more desirable to their peers. They lord it over the other women, like 'oh jeez ANOTHER one hanging all over me teehee! Of course I already have a man so it's mostly just annoying, you know? Or you would if you were as popular as me!'

The crying is possibly guilt/anxiety now that situation has blown up.

Also please note I said SOME girls.

Thanks for the advice, all of you. I really appreciate it. :)

It's hard to let it go. I mean, granted, I've known her for a little over four months, so it's not like we're life-long buddies, but I just can't believe she really would be the kind of girl you're all describing (attention-whoring, passing on the blame, using me to look interesting). When I was really in a bad place a few times, she send me some really, really sweet text messages to ask me how I was doing. I was really touched by it. It's just so strange that she just did a 180 degree on our 'relationship'. One day everything seemed normal, the next day I get caught completely off-guard by her bf's message. He has apologized to me, by the way, and confirmed that W. didn't know about the text.

I'm glad with your reactions. Some co-workers who I *had* to tell this (which I resent, because it's private business), because they had heard half of the story (and got it wrong) didn't come any further than "don't pay attention to it" or "everything will be allright". The intention may be well, but I don't know what that even means --and I'm not sure they know either.

I'm gonna give her some rest and wait until she comes up to me to talk to me, but "a few weeks"? No way I could wait that long. If I keep up smoking the way I do know, I'll have started all over again by next week. :P

Oh, and about the crying, which phan258 mentioned: I've seen her cry before. It goes easily with her. According to her, she's a "highly sensitive person", which seems to be something one is born with and can be hereditary (sp?). So I tend to be very forgiving of her.

Today, I learned that W. has been bad-talking me behind my back with some of our co-workers, or should I say it was the other way around: some co-workers have talked bad about me to her and convinced her that my attention for her was not "normal" and that she better quit talking to me. She apparently didn't have enough will-power to resist the gossip and felt she had to join the women who wanted to make me look bad for "going after" a girl with a boyfriend --like I wanted to break up her relationship! And even *if* I had wanted to do that, what's that to them? Don't they think W. can take care of herself and speak for herself? It's very disappointing to hear that she didn't stand up to them and instead, let herself getting talked into this. Also disappointing was finding out that one of those co-workers was someone whom I trusted. I feel betrayed. It's also bizarre to realise that, apparently, there are people who willingly and knowlingly put their time and effort into destroying other people's friendships. What sad little lives they must lead...

What a terrible situation Goliath :(

This probably won't be any help, but you really don't want this girl as a friend if she has such a flippant attitude towards you. You must be feeling alot of sadness and anger at the moment, but keep your head up. These people don't matter, and you're within your right to lodge a complaint.

I've probably been extremely insensitive (I'm talking to you as if you're fourteen :oops: ), but I just wanted to show my sympathy.

Hang in there :)

^ Thanks for your reply. It's not so bad; I mean, these people (some of my co-workers) actually act like they're 14 year olds. It's like high school all over again. I thought we had come to an age (in our mid- or, in my case unfortunately, late twenties) where we could leave those petty things behind us.

You're probably right, but it's hard for me to let things go --that's just the way I am. If she came to me tomorrow and said it was all one big misunderstanding and she wants to be friends again, I'd probably gladly accept her offer. That's because I still remember all those good times we have had and it's hard to imagine that all that would be over all of a sudden, especially given the fact that I did nothing to have caused it.

It's just so bizarre. One of my co-workers said I should have "behaved" myself. I was like: "what the fuck?" Getting along well with a girl who just happens to have a boyfriend now is considered "bad behavior"? It's just so... never mind, words fail me now...

My grandmother died today. I got the call when I was at work.

She was 88 years old. She has been in bad health for over ten years. She has been dragged from hospital to hospital. She had to have surgery for breast-cancer at age 85. She had been unable to walk for several years. She needed assistance for everything, from going to bed and getting up to going to the bathroom. Her medicine-box was huge. She used to say she had so much to suffer that she'd rather not live anymore.

Today she got her rest.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your Grandmother, and that she had been suffering so much. While it's good that she's no longer in pain, you must be very sad that she's gone :cry:

My thoughts are with you Goliath.
