Gimmie and "I"!!! (for inappropriate)

WOW. So today I am appauled at a few things. First the fact that there are so many desperate woman in the US of A. Frankly if we are still within the first 10 seconds of meeting I DO NOT need to know that you passed out on your way in the door to work yesterday, rushed to the doctors office and were diagnosed with PRE-diabetes... Something I didnt even know exsisted. I kinda of thought you either have it or you DON'T. Apparently I was wrong and you can have all of the signs and symptoms of diabetes and need to treat yourself as though you have diabetes, but you don't have diabetes. AND I learned it all from the receptionist at the collision center I went to at 7:30 this morning while I waited for my estimator to come out and meet me. I learned all of this joyus info in under 2 minutes. I would have been perfectly happy with the offer of coffee and morning silence. Really. But instead this is what you get, way too much information from people who have no one better to tell this information to. How desperate and in need of attention can one be?! I'm sure she was displeased with my, "wow, that sucks" response, but im not going to mourn her health for 20 minutes when it was something I wasnt interested in, in the first place.

Honestly this probably wouldnt bother me if it was something I didnt deal with on a daily basis. I come into work every morning with a positive "it's a new day" outlook and everyday my happy-go-lucky ways get smashed by the always inappropriate *bleep*. As to not disclose tooooo much information I will simply call her "bleep".

Bleep is a creeper, a liar and the most desperate woman I have come in contact with ever. I have caught her in multiple lies in the short time ive been here but the worst happened within my first two months here. I used to bartend and I learned a trick to spiral napkins while doing so. The first time I set up for a meeting at the office, I spiraled the napkins, she watched me do so and asked me where I learned to do that. I explained the "used to bartend" story. A month later I once again spiraled some napkins for a meeting...she once again saw me. At that point she said, "Hey you must have bartended, I learned that trick when I was a cocktail waitress, never seen anyone else do it before". My mouth literally dropped open and I kept moving thinking that I may be stuck in an alternate universe and I didnt want to see what might happen next. Eeeek! I think this expresses the creeper aspect.

Now the desperation comes in another way. She was dating a guy for about month, if even....after that short amount of time she was discussing adopting his child from a previous marriage, they had put down a deposit on an apartment together and she was ALWAYS looking at rings online. I met this man once, he seemed sane, clearly im a bad judge of character. Now the week after Christmas I recieved word from her (i was the only other non-attorney in the office) that the bf broke up with her on Christmas day. (twas like a mini b-day present for me LOL) She was miserable, but now she is talking to everyone like she an the guy are still together, yet she is on "plenty o' fish" daily....which is a dating site. Sooooo which is it crazy? Are you a naughty woman who is cheating on her reconciled love or are you just proving your creeper status?

I don't understand the desperation. I understand wanting to be loved, but do you really want to marry someone you have known for a couple of weeks? Really?? And if that person wants to marry you after a couple of weeks are you sure you really want to be comfortable around them?

This stuff, on top of her coming in yesterday looking like a prostitute clown put her make-up on her with a putty knife has really made me wonder if she is going to go postal at somepoint. Like seriously...this is koo-koo for coco puffs shit.

And the desperation I could forgive if she wasnt such a wreched bitch to work with otherwise. She is the only person who seems to think she can talk to me like im a moron and put me down daily and act like I cant handle anything. Yesterday she had to cancel something on the copier...walked away from the copier to tell me that the copier was out of paper and I needed to put some in, when literally the paper is NEXT to the copier. Even the highest ranking folk in the office arent too proud to add paper to a machine. These nasty un-needed digs are ridiculous and shameful. And yet my hands are tied. ARGH! Just argh.

ANYWAY my point is that im surrounded my desperate lonely women in this world and there are times I honestly feel im standing alone. Or maybe their desperation is working because by writing this im giving them the attention the desire. Either way I need to meet people and surround myself with people who dont need attention to survive. This is coming from the drama queen with a blog!!! Oiy.
