Wow, I have been off line all day and I come back to some baffling and stressing situations. Of course I will address people personally and privately, but before I do that I would like to blow off a little steam here so that my thoughts might be more rational when I address people personally.
Today I came up against a wall of what I would consider a double standard. The double standard very simply goes like this, "It's okay to do XYZ as long as I am the one doing it and your not." Or it can be defined as, "You should deal with it and be the bigger person unless it's me who wants to throw the fit." I was completely shocked to read/find out about the things I did today involving a friend. Wait, scratch that.... Apparently they are not a friend (not by my choice). I don't have a good explanation of why things happened like they did so I can only explain it as an obvious double standard. And if that is all there is to it then I guess it isn't my loss. It's sad, and disappointing and even a little frustrating, but I didn't make the decisions or execute the actions so I guess I just have to be accepting of it and know that the ball was never in my court so I can't blame myself for what has happened.
I know.... it's vague, but there are handful of people reading this that will know what I am talking about. I am sure they are writing about it too on their blogs, but they keep out the people they talk about.
