Drama Sucks...

Have you ever been in the presence of drama...you see it unfold...you try to stay out of it...but you get sucked in because it is all around you?
By this point you have your opinions because you know too much, and its human nature to pick a side.

Anyway, why this post? I will tell you. I AM STRESSED!!! I'm working 40 hours a week, and there is drama where I work. Its like half the crew against the other half, and that half against the manager...it's driving me crazy!

So if you have drama, let me know.... Tell me how to not stress meself out and be able to go to work and still function normaly!!! Or you can use this to vent!

Here I go:

I HATE COLD STONE....THEY CAN ALL JUST KISS IT!

Drama is bad... I'm anti-drama. But yes, it sucks you in.

My last job was similar. The entire store was against the manager (who apparantly has been sued several times for unfair practices). Every once in awhile we'd get a new person and they'd suck up to the manager and such -- so things got tense for a bit.

Sounds very familiar.

I lived through it.

I'm usually the center of drama, hence my Phi Mu Drama Queen award at Formal. I've been kinda staying away, and not really caring what people do. Cept this one girl in another sorority (our rivals... but I don't like her for other reasons) who is cheating on this guy I know. He's friends with a lot of my friends, and he's a really good guy. So yeah that's bout it for me.

It makes my world goes round, as long I don't get too personally involved or it gets too serious.

For those who don't like drama, it must take two parties in order for it to thrive. Don't get involved!

When I was living with William I had TONS of drama...every day I waited for something new to unfold...would he be mad at me for something, would he say he wasn't happy, would I find another seductive email/text message from that stupid girl...etc.
I would go to work and cry and vent to my co-workers. And then I'd listen to the radio and Mary J. Blige's song "No more pain" would come on and I'd just go crazy singing and stuff! Totally felt like my anthum!!!!!
So yes, I know what drama is like...I know how it just makes EVERY DAY a pain in the butt! The only way I stayed sane was talking about stuff to people either at work or online with some of the Chi O sisters. Or I'd sing, workout, do whatever!!!!!
I hope that helps...

The worst is when you can see the drama coming, you know what's going to happen, you TRY to get out of the way.... and it sits on your face anyway. I HATE that.

I used to live with a girl who was all about drama. She was always trying to pick fights, make people look bad, and basically just causing trouble. When she would pick fights she would try to make people choose sides and divide up our group of friends. She would tell people horrible lies about their friends and significant others and when they started crying she would be there as the "shoulder to cry on." Eventually we kicked her out and my life has been pretty much drama-free!
