""Adapt or die." As many times as we've heard it, the lesson doesn't get easier. Problem is, we're human. We want more than just to survive. We want love. We want success. So we fight like hell to get those things. Anything else feels like death."
...............................................................................................................................................................................
Sometimes I feel like I am too fiery. Too outspoken. Too firecrackery, but not in a good way.
Blame my parents.
They raised us to be outspoken. To be the girls that walk out of class or out of brownies because people are being crazy to us. My mom is THE BIGGEST outspoken, opinionated, fiery woman I know. And that's just one of that bazillion things I love about my mama.
So I don't want to apologize for who I am. I stand up for me, for my Club, my kids, my family and again, for my decisions and situations.
But I've also learned over the years there is a time and a place.
Today, I needed to vent. Who do I vent to? My Mama. Well that wasn't possible today since my mama and my dad are in San Diego on a romantic vacation for two. So imagine if I call to vent and then my mom tells my dad and then they argue. All Bad. I can already see it.
So I vented to my facebook friends. Well I thought they were my friends. Let me say that I have two facebook accounts----one that is personal---old high school friends, current friends, cousins, etc. It's private and is not a work thing. My second facebook is my club facebook---has past club kids (now grown ups), club staff that are friendly with me, etc.
So I "vented" a bit on my personal facebook. And later, received an email from my bosses' boss saying that what I said was unprofessional and that someone brought it to her attention and showed it to her.
Hmmmmm............do you remember me saying up above that the facebook was private? So that means one of my "friends" had to have shown it to her. Well that was pretty easy to narrow down who it could be. And I ended up deleting some facebook friends today.
Am I sorry for what I said? no. I am not one to sidestep an apology. I love to apologize. When i'm wrong.
So now I'm tired. Going to bed after I finish this post.
And then I'll wait for the aftermath of "my blog" being unprofessional LOL!
