As the wise old woman speaks...

Getting older has it's perks.

You don't sweat the small stuff. You care less about what people say or think about you (at least the ones that are actually mature enough to handle things don't care.) You find pleasure in the little things and don't have to constantly be going, going, gone. I've always been a hermit, so I've never cared about all the here and there stuff.

My favorite part about getting older (besides the booze) is that you can remove drama from your life and not feel the same amount of guilt or pressure over it that you did when you were younger. I have had to make these decisions in the past year and the more I look back (hindsight 20/20 and all that) the more I realize I've made the right decisions. I don't feel remorse about it. The drama is gone and I don't feel nearly as weighed down with everyone else's problems. They can keep them!

Maybe I'm a bad friend

I don't know. Maybe not.

Sometimes I will get texts or calls from friends. And I can tell almost immediately that the conversation that will occur is going to go in a direction that will probably be asking something from me or of me that I really don't want to do.

Today I got a text from a friend that said "do you work today?" That seems innocent enough, but before I responded I had to think about who was asking me that question. Generally this person doesn't ask questions pertaining to these things unless the follow-up response will then be asking me to do something I'm not willing to do. So rather than just answering the text when it was sent, I waited until about an hour before I had to be to work. That way if she DID want something from me, I would have an excuse. LOL I don't think that makes sense at all. I go out of my way to make sure that I'm not put out of my way by others. It's a riddle inside an enigma.

Would you like some cheese while you whine?

There is this girl at my job that annoys the crap out of me. She complains about having on-call shifts all the time that she's never needed for, thus she rarely works. Bitch, I have to deal with the same thing! Everyone does. Do you think that you are the only one not working and the rest of us are getting mega hours? No! Stop bitching about it or quit.

Sorry, had to vent somewhere. She's on Facebook so I can't do it there and Twitter only allows 140 characters lol.
