  • I Am So Done With Helping Others

    I am so done with helping others.

    All my life I have sacrificed the things I want or need in life to help others.

    You want me to look after your children as you have to work, no problem I’ll change my plans to have them.

    You need a lift to the supermarket, not an issue, I’ll use my petrol to take you, doesn’t matter that it means I’ll have to tighten my budget that week, after all we are friends.

    You need someone to help with your child’s football team, of course I’ll help, I’ll take all the complaints because little Jimmy didn’t play a whole match or it will be my fault the team lost, I’m sorry I was trying my best.

    Lend you some money, yeah not an issue I know you are struggling just the same as me, friends will go without for each other.

    This is how I used to be, first to volunteer to help, first to be there for everyone, never thinking of how it was affecting my own life.

    However I have come to realise I can never do enough for some people, they will always take more and more until I have nothing left and then throw me away.

    I will not volunteer to help with any sports or events to then receive complaints and moans from those who wouldn’t step up to the plate ever!

    I am done, it is over, I do for me now and me alone, for those I have helped would never help me in return.

    I am so happy in my selfish, lonesome, happy, bitchy free zone. Welcome to freedom any one want to come along for the ride?

    I still help two friends who would walk over hot coals for me but I have cleared myself of all the fake mates

  • You Should Put A Label On Your Breastmilk Before I Drink It

    Yes, I know I was in the wrong for using my colleagues coffee creamer or what I thought was coffee creamer, you could class it as theft I suppose, but when you have been on a long night shift and were in such a flap before you started work, what with my toddler having a melt down as mummy was off to work, and my husband moaning about bills I had completely forgot to bring my own.

    I used a colleagues coffee creamer after all, we all work together and I used only a quarter, I did plan to leave a note and buy them a new one on my next shift, ok I forgot to leave a note it was a very busy shift.

    The next time I returned to work I looked in the staff fridge and saw a note on the creamer (not the one pictured I didn’t have my phone on me but the message was very similar).

    I was fuming and I mean fuming surely if you are going  to leave bodily fluids in the staff fridge it should be clearly labelled, that’s like me leaving a urine sample in an apple juice carton, common sense people!

    Yes I shouldn’t of used it but it is so utterly wrong to leave bodily fluid in our staff fridge without some warning on it, my colleague clearly has time to leave rude notes but not the time to write Breast milk on it.

    I have taken this to HR and they have told my colleague they should label all breast milk clearly in future, well my colleague is fuming, stated that we are being nasty to her for breast-feeding, which is not the case, all we need is clarification on what is being kept in the joint fridge.

    Am I in the wrong for wanting to know whats kept in the fridge? Does my colleague have a right to be angry?
