Cell phone rudeness

Cell phone rudeness is definately a problem these days, everyone in the world has a cell phone! Working at a place were i deal with the public i see this often. It gets really irritating especially when you need to communicate with the person who talking on the phone, while you are tryin to help them. The other day even i was at Lisa Nails getting my nails done and there was lady getting hers done and she was on the phone the WHOLE time, which was about an hour. The funny thing was that while the lady was on the phone she was saying to her friend "I need to get off the phone, because i am being so rude!" I swear she said that at least 5 times, but did she ever hang up? NO! That doens't make sense to me. I understand if it is a very important call, but if you need to interact with someone else at the same time, just call them back, or put them on hold seriously. Be polite!

not yet divorced....

http://www.loveadvice.com/Columns/COL_0606.HTM
This time a found an question done by Dr. Tracy. It was about a woman who is seeing a mn who is not yet divorced, but was honest about it. She wants to know if it right.
I would have to say i think its probably not a good idea. It is good that he was able to tell you ahead of time, but its just not right, technically you're seeing a married man. By telling you that he is in a divorce process, amy just give him a good excuse to get out of the relationship if things dont go right. He may also just be going through some problems and jsut wants to get a little more experience before he makes the final decision to leave his current wife. i just dont think this sounds like a good thing to get invovled with. Also belive it or not i have a friend who has been dating a man who isnt quite out of divorce either. He has a daughter and is quite a few years older than my friend. i think that all their relationship has been about is basically just having someone there. They dont get along very well and dont treat eachother like a normal couple. He has even told her that he would go back to his wife is she would take him back. To me that sound messed up. Stay away from married men!!

Moochers

http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/
I read another Dear abby article that i found very interesting. It was concerning a family that wanted to buy a new sofa, loveseat and etc., but then didn;t because they were worried that the new funriture would just get ruined because of a couple moochers they had staying on their furniture.
First of all this family needs to learn how to say no. If they really dont want these people ruining their furniture maybe they should help find a way to get them out, or just say no. It would definatly be a waste of money for them to go out and buy this new stuff, if the moochers will still be staying around. Another idea would be to keep the old furniture for the moochers and get the new furniture for themselves and keep the new off limits to the moochers, at least they would still have something to sleep on and the family would have some new stuff. This would be a problem though, if there isnt a place to store the old furniture. I say just find a way to get them out, no one needs to be taken advantage of.

Time makes the Heart grow fonder

http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/
Today I read a question/answer from Dear Abby. It was about how this lady was upset and felt too lonely, becasue her husband got a job where he was gone for longer period of time. I completely agree with Abby's answer. I think that the lady should get involved in things she enjoys that she cant do when her husband is around, so she has something to do while he is gone. These things would be like scrapbooking clubs maybe, try goin to the gym and working out, and just catching up with the girls, with some weekly dinners or something. im sure those friends who have their husbands around all the time would like to have some time away sometimes! You can only be happy if you let yourself, if you keep feeling sad and doing unhappy and boring things, your arent making the best of your alone time. Alone time is good for a person, so they can catch up with themselves and maybe do somethings you havent been able to do in a while.

workplace gossip

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/Careers/02/03/cb.gossip.tips/
I would have to agree that gossip in the workplace can definatly get out of control. It happens everywhere, i dont care what some people say. In the most sophisicated offices, someone is talking to someone, who is talking to another spreading news that may be good or bad. Its pretty much human nature. Everywhere i have worked there has always been those people who just love to know everything about everybody. They are always leaning against the door, when managers are in meetings, jsut to be the first to hear news about the company, or changes that are coming. Most of their informationt they tell others gets stretched and not always very reliable. Gossip also causes lots of probelms between co-workers and can lead to firering, quitting or even jsut inappropriate fights in the work place. Most paces do try to put rules on this sort of thing, like telling workers that they can only talk about certain things while in uniform, but that is impossible. As far as I can say, this will always be a problem.

Honesty

http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/114679
I think that honesty is one of the most important things in a relationship. Whenever something is bothering you, you should always be honest about it with your partner. It is better to tell them the truth ahead of time whether is it good or bad, because later on they could somehow find out that you weren't truthful about something and come back at you, and thats not a good thing. I agree with Abby's answer to the man and his problem he has with his girlfriend. He doesnt want to hurt her, but to tell her now rather than waiting and letting things get worse, would not help things. It is better to tell her ahead of time, so things can be worked out and not worsen. I don't know if what im saying makes sense, but i agree and i know what i mean.

Persuasive Speech

Our last speech was a persuasive speech, where we had to persuade the audience of something. I had a very hard time trying to come up with an topic for this one. I even looked on the interent and found huge lists of ideas, but I could not find one that fit me.
Finally I choose the topic of "Eating Ourselves to Death". It is about how America is a very unhealthy country, and we really need to realize these issues and take care of our bodies. This topic related to me because being unhealthy can lead to Diabetes, and my Dad has that. His case is not very serious, because he takes such good care of himself now, he does not need insulin or other meds to keep him healthy. BUT diabetes can get very serious and getting up higher on the list of killer diseases. Since my Dad has this, our house is full of healthier food, so it is pretty imporatnat ot me to eat healty and take care of myself. It is very important to take care of our bodies during our younger years, because it really affects how healthy we will be when we get older and how long we will live. i don't know about you, but i want to live as long as i can.

Informative Speech

In oral communication class, we had to do another speech that was infomative. It was supposed to teach the audience about something related to you, that they might not know much about.
My topic was Anemia. I choose this topic because I had some experiences with it, and most people don't know exactly what it is. Anemia is a blood disorder that is caused by low amounts of red blood cells, or iron in your blood. It can get very severe, but luckily mine wasn't so bad. I did have some scary moments though. One time I was in a friend's Quincenera. I was up front at the final ceremony and I fainted. It was pretty embarassing and my boyfriend at the time was also in the ceremony with me and he was in shock, seeing me fall to the ground. i was only out for a few seconds, but it was pretty crazy. I didn't feel too well for the rest of the night, so I ended up going home and not getting to enjoy the reception. Also in Choir at school i fainted a few times during practices, becuase i would get weak, and not be able to stand up throught out the rehearsals. I did end up getting better though, and i know i dont have many problems.

Self Inventory

In my speech class, we had to fill out a paper discussing things about ourselves, to try and help us come up with speech topics. Im going to write about some things I wrote about myself.
I have not yet travled to many places, my life is pretty boring, since I was pretty much an accident. My parents are older than most parents with kids my age. For example m,y brother and sister could very well be my parents, because they are 16 and 17 years older than me. I have been to Orlando Florida, for class vaction in 7th grade, we went to Disney World of course. I have also been to South Dakota, to a few fun places, Kansas many times and thats about it. Once i get married and settle down i hope to see many more places. Someday i also really want to visit Australia, not sure why, it has just always interested me for some reason. i value my friends and family a lot, they are most important to me. My dream job would be to be a professional shopper, what could be more fun?? I also would really enjoy being a therapist, which i s what I am currently studying at CCC. I really interested in military issues. Mostly because I was at one point going to join the Military, but i also have many close friends in the military right now, so i like to know as much as i can. Sports i enjoy are basketball and skateboarding. Im not too much of an athletic person. I enjoy watching football on TV though. i love dancing though, i guess that is somewhat of a sport. I have had many jobs in my life already including: Retirement home, burger king, Coffee shope, Vanity ( clothing store), Carlos O Kellys, MH Solutions which was a psyciatrist office, and Sears. I have done volunteer work at the Crisis Center and the Vet's home. Alright i think that is enough for now, that is pretty much the basics.

abuse

http://www.redandblack.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2006/02/22/43fbd6ab97780
So, I read an article today at the site above. Sadly I relate to it. I experienced a few types of abuse in a relationship I had when I was probably 15 and 16 years old. It was a traumatic time in my life, because it was scary and hard to get away from. I agree with the article, emotional abuse tends to kind of grow on you. You know its happening, but it gets imbedded in your head so much that it makes you think it is true. Most people cannot see it happening either, because the person serving the abuse will put on acts when others are around, and you yourself doesn't tell anyone, because you are afraid of what will happen when the news of it comes back to the abuser. And so much more....but I won't get into that. The longest year of my life. I am thankful for the person who "rescued" me. I could have never done it without him. So anyways all kinds of abuse happens and its hard to resolve.

Cute!

http://www.bizjournals.com/extraedge/consultants/sell_more/2006/01/30/column203.html
I read and article today called "Trying to be Cute can often cost you with customers". I found it quite interesting because I worked as a Waitress at Carlos O Kelly's for a long time. There the other servers and I would do cetain things and sometimes i guess you could say..."flirt" with the customers to get bigger tips! BUT it can only go so far! You have to be careful, especailly if you are a girl and your customers are guys. It can get kinda...crazy! Trust me, it happened and i didnt even do anything "cute"! Anyways as she said in the article, she was kind of offended by what the owner said to her, so you have to think before you speak, not all people think that same things are "cute".

Love in the Military

Today I read an article about Marriage in the military. It is increasing! i like that idea! I think it is a very good thing! Having a special someone there for you when you are away fighting for your country gives you motives to do good, stay healthy, take care of yourself, and have someone to live for. That's how I see it anyway! I had a relationship first hand with a guy in the Army. He would say how great it made him feel after working hard to have some loving to come how to and get a hug and a smile. I know its probably not true for everyone, but I think it makes an impact sooner or later. Especially for those who had someone before they left to the military. They may have broke up, but deep down they want that person and would love to have them there for them. I know lots of things happen too, guys get crazy and have fun with other girls when they are away, and girls get lonely at home....mistakes happen but they can be controlled. i guess I'm just a crazy romantic! But the idea of marrige in the military to me is a very good thing! Oh! and having a hot guy in uniform walking down the isle beside you! Man I would be so proud! ok I better stop! And just so you know the Army guy and me are broken up, we are close friends and have hope for the future, we are just young. I found this article at: http://www.belvoireagle.com/archives/2006/FEB/02/marriage.htm
