Thanks! And I should know that from Job from Hell #1. As I stated before I was working at a newspaper and my bosses were so nasty, I thought about things I shouldn't have and was very depressed. But I felt that leaving the first job has eventually lead me to Job from Hell #2. When I left the first job, I didn't have another one. The only reason I'm still at it is for the money and I'm mostly paying for school by myself. But come to think about it, I will be getting my master's certificate in May and if I don't continue, I don't have to worry about paying $800 for a class and that's my biggest bill. The rest are credit cards and cell phone. I think I may have an idea.

i, too am secretly in love (wow, thats heavy, ok, really like) with this guy i work with (known him for about 2 years). he makes me laugh, which i love. as the saying goes, "make a girl laugh and you can make her do anything." i guess this is true, cause i've fallen head over heels for him (don't worry, i havent become totally spineless for him--i'm still me). i think he may be into me, there's been a lot of flirtation and innuendo lately. then again, you never know with men...

i'm really apprehensive about making a move. i've never had a man reciprocate romantic feelings towards me and i don't know how to handle it. and most of this stems from the lack of self-esteem i formerly suffered from (it's gotten a lot better!), but in the realm of relationships, i still feel like i don't deserve him or any great guy.

so i recently asked the guy out, he said yes. however, from then to now, its been really awkward between us. ive been droppin serious hints... the most recent advice ive gotten is to confront him about it.

:not really a confession, but an update:

My confessions...

I have a wedding to plan for next year and I am in graduate school for my MBA and will graduate a month after the wedding. I am half done with my Master's degree, but sometimes I just feel like throwing in the towel, but what keeps me going is that I have gotten this far and I've dealt with and got through much harder times in undergrad. Furthermore, I will be the first in my family with a Master's degree.

I don't want to live here in DC anymore. I need to move away from this area, FAR, FAR AWAY. While I love my city, I need to get out. I hate the traffic and the oversaturation, the notion that we're a bulls eye target for another terrorist attack, etc. etc. So my fiance and I will probably relocate maybe 6 mo.-1.5 years after marriage. My family will be upset that I am leaving but I just need to get away. We're considering Charlotte, NC.

Do you have to plan a huge wedding? Is it for the family? Just asking...

I would get the degree only because you worked hard for it for so long and sometimes professors can be stupid about getting married while getting a graduate degree. If you already get yours, then they cannot say that... Then you can invite them "happily" to the wedding...

I've done that when the quizzes are just too bad to bother. Now that I know someone else does it, I don't feel so bad.

My Omegafriend doesn't know that his mother is dating my granduncle. NOT A CLUE. And I don't think he's too fond of my uncle.

I didn't know until September, when my grandfather died. I know many of his family members and one of his cousins works at my mother's school. At the wake I saw his aunt (cousin who works at school's mother). I was thinking "I didn't know she knows my grandfather".

Fast forward a few days later. My mother goes up to me and said "Did you know that Omegafriend's mother goes with your uncle?" That was why his aunt was at the wake.

Well, I was out with him and another of his cousins and his name came up. He tried to brush it off and said he really didn't care for him. I almost said something but I was told not to say anything about it. And I don't plan to. I'll let him find out for himself.

*singing* It's a small world after all...

My guests plus the wedding party are about 135 so its not huge. I could make it huge, but I'd prefer it to be close relatives and friends. Since my degree program is accelerated, that April, I will be taking only one class (I plan to make it an online class) so I guess that will help. But I agree with you, professors can be stupid about it which is why I am arranging my schedule the way I am. Furthermore, I may need to hire a wedding planner. I don't want to because I am the type that likes to do things myself and they are expensive as hell, but having one will take some of the pressure off.

But I am going to get the degree. God made a way for me to go back to school straight out of undergrad so I have faith he will see me through it.

I was at piece with myself and my situation with these people for a while, however as I said, they just won't leave me alone. A part of me wants to change my number and never see them again and I know that's not going to happen so I just stay in my corner of the world and mind my own business. I've came to terms that this is how these people are and there is nothing that I can do to change that.

Bajan, please let me share with you some words of advice. While I was the person who felt the need to "go the f**k off", I eventually learned that sometimes you do all you can to make things right with that person. If they choose not to, then you continue to live your life right. That's what I had to do with my father.

My mission was to make sure that I lived everday to the best of my ability and to sleep peacfully at night. I tried to work things out, but he was not interested. I am proud to say that after three years of not speaking to me, GOD spoke to him and put it on his heart to apologize to me (this just happend two days ago).

Just know that if you do your part and continue to live right, God will make ALL of your enemies behave!

Keep with it!!!!! You sound like me and so many of my friends!! And everytime they say that I tell them the same thing. It will be so rewarding when you finish!

Sometimes I just take out a little me time, take a couple of deep breaths...then get back to the grind

And...I just might be the first in my family with a Masters degree too! I never actually thought about it.

Bajan_Delta · #12 04-14-2006, 09:42 AM

I just recently got engaged and these people are annoyed because I didn't tell them when it happened. What I did do was call my cousins and tell them, knowing they would tell their parents. I knew if I called any of these people someone would have said something to ruin this great moment for me (plus it was my birthday as well).

I want to plan a nice wedding where I can invite people who care about us. But now I'm seriously contemplating a destination wedding, just the parents and the 2 of us. Sigh....

lil_sunshine · #13 04-18-2006, 02:45 PM

Dearest Bajan_Delta,

First, I'd like to congratulate you on your engagement. I know this is an exciting time for you and your fiance!!! Also, I'd like to tell you that there will always be people (family, friends and strangers alike) who will try to steal your sunshine. Please do not allow them to do so.

Destination weddings are a beautiful thing! If you and your fiance agree to do that, then by all means. The people that should attend are the ones that will cause you the least stress and are the most genuine about their well wishes for you and your husband-to-be. Your wedding day is not the be all and end all of family gatherings. It is just the day when you and your fiance tell the world that you are willing to commit to spending the rest of your lives together. Whoever cannot understand that, tell them, "FUHGEDDABOUTIT!!!!!!"

I'm sooooooooo sorry I think this but....

*And I apologize in advance for the crudeness of my language/attitude*

I want to punch this hoe in the eye. Seriously. I don't condone fighting, but it's the only way I think she'll understand me.

*WOOOOSAAAHHHHHHH* *Rubs earlobes*

Ok---I'm over it. Kinda. Until she says/does something else crazy.

I will NEVER watch the Passion of Christ again.

: I know that everyone raved over this movie but it was a little to much for me. I felt bad when I told that to a group of Bible study members when they insisted on showing it for Easter weekend. For some reason after the first time that move was enough for me.
