That buzzing sound means that you are WRONG!!!

I am annoyed today.

In order to adequately assess a situation a person must first gather as much information about the circumstances that are surrounding that event. If you take one person's view over another's you do not have an accurate portrayal of what is going on. If the situation is concerning only one person and you have not spoken directly to that person about the situation and you are instead making up your own story about said situation you are WRONG!!

Long ago when I first started working in the real world there as a secretary that worked for our department. I loved her and love her still. She was like the department mother and did her job very well. I had never thought about her background prior to the day she announced her departure.

She had gotten a position of Senior Editor for a prestigious company here in town that everyone wanted to work for. I was completely confused. How could a receptionist make that much of a jump? So, I asked her. She told me that it was actually much lower than what she was used to but that she was ready to start getting back into the swing of things. You see she had gotten divorced and had small children. She was trying to grab hold of her personal life and had selected a less challenging job to pay the bills while she did so. I respected her so much for that. She put her ego aside so that she could focus on what was really important in her world.

I had always known I wanted to stay home with my children. I see the positives of both choices but for me staying home far outweighed the having a job outside of the home. It's funny how quickly you lose your credibility in the world though. I'm sure people don't mean to do it, but it is almost condescending the comments people make. It's annoying really. Everyone gets to make their own choice. Some have to work for financial reasons, some for sanity reasons it is all okay as long as you are loving those babies you brought into this world and bringing them up to be respectable, kind, loving human beings then by all means you do what you got to do!

I guess the point I am trying to make is that your education or you financial status or your social position is not as important as the kind of person you are. When it all comes down to it what kind of person are you? Are you kind? Supportive? Loving? Or are you just some Jerk that everyone is nice to because you have a lot of power?

Stop making assumptions about people. If you are going to judge them you must first gather as much information about them as you possibly can. Otherwise just keep your uneducated opinion to yourself as you are only spreading misinformation and we have the media for that!

This is probably not written very well. That happens when I get annoyed. Love each other people it is a hard world and all people truly need is kindness and goodness around them. Have a great day!
