Why can’t we all just get along
It’s been a while since I’ve last posted an entry, but to be quite honest, I’ve been rather busy. It’s been a hectic for me to juggle work, marriage, kids; one a teenager, the other a toddler and yet studying to achieve my Bsc. Degree.
That brings me to the topic I wanted to blog about and it primarily focuses on women’s relations to each other and with men. I’m not ashamed to say it: working among an office of women is a recipe for disaster, lacarey, crab in a barrel syndrome, tension and all sorts of commess.Women on the whole are their worst enemy.
I for one, when it comes to my job, I’m a very fierce, no nonsense, get it right the first time around kinda gal, which doesn’t make me popular at all. I really don’t care about that because at the end of the day, it’s not my co-workers who are paying my salary and they are not the ones to please. I try as best to be cordial but not get too personal because, at the first sign of weakness, they(women) all up in your business. As in all offices, you will always find women among the genuinely good ones; those who are ass kissers, informants, religious fanatics, freaks, weirdos, hyper-active work horses, running down brands types & procrastinators.
I interact with them all on a regular basis, however as far as I’m concerned, I keep to myself, not being a part of a clique or to be labeled any of the above, however I’m baffled as to why women continually beat down on each other. I guess it’s because we are competing for and among men, creating opportunities for ourselves, and trying to stay afloat. I’m seriously possessive of my loved ones and I will defend them even if it comes to blows. I’ve learn’t from my past to be very weary of women since the ones that I’ve met have not been genuine and forthrite. I can tell by intuition the type of woman I’m dealing with by her speech or actions and trust me on this: women can be very deceptive. I’ve had a few look me in the eye and lie about situations that I felt warranted a discussion to clear the air, only to then realise that they were bullshitting me or turned around and did exactly what they said they wouldn’t do! I guess they were telling me what I wanted to hear.
We are complex animals and no wonder men can’t figure us out. We can’t figure us out! but why is it that women can’t be loyal to each other? why can’t we all just get along? Men would cover for each other to the end but not women. I’ve kept secrets that could potentially destroy some relationships but I will never reveal these, even though some of these friends are no longer my friends, that is how I am. You would never hear something that was confided in me being spoken by another but I’ve not been as fortunate.
I have realised that I would quicker trust a man than a woman since there are some seriously terse women out there! Some women need to realise what time it is and respect boundaries. My husband is just that. MY HUSBAND! I for one would not invite myself to go alone with any man (who isn’t my husband) anywhere period, whether I’m friends with the wife or not and I expect the same. Women who play “damsel in distress” really disgust me. Women who are pushy, disgust me. Women who misinterpret kindness and politeness as an invitation of “personal interest” disgust me. People would say that I need to work on my trust issues but believe me it’s a effin war zone out there. I know all too well that men think with the small head rather than the big head and women use this knowledge to their advantage. I’ve always believed in “Do unto others…” and believe me payback can be a bitch.
