So someone (cuz) asked about what happened to the ‘highlights of my days’. What would you say if I still have them, but I don’t see the point of writing them down, documenting them? Aside from being lazy, it or they (whatever) had become just one moment delight. Nothing more nothing less. I even wonder if I still take delight on them.

My patience is running thin lately. Tired of being around people with endless demands but lack of gratitude. Just today I had 2 episodes of these. One was an argument with boss (or was it yelling at each other??), one of those know-it-all expectation of an assistant. Well, I work hard to know all, but am not a mind reader! The only thing I regret about this was it had to happen Monday morning, 10 am. Sort of defined what my day was going to be like.

And guess what, it happened again! This time was with mr. wise a** complaining the favor I did for him. Unbelievable how he could do that after I walked an extra mile to cut this. I refused taking his next call. I’ve had enough crap in one day.

What I meant with appreciation is as simple as a decent thank you. I made it clear to my peers (and mr. wise a**) that they should be grateful if someone is looking after them, as nobody does for me (except for God). It was ironic when one afternoon mr. WA moaned (or was it joking?) from across the parking lot that he hadn’t had any raise for the past 6 months. I blurted back “well, for me make that 4 times (hah!!)” That surely shut his mouth.

I just hope people were more grateful and start counting their blessings. Surrounded with them, no matter how hard you try to be positive and not being like them you could start becoming like them, starting with complaining about them. Aaarrgghh.. I don’t like that!!

I have to agree, that to some points, negative attitude is somewhat really contagious. It's not easy to stay in its contrary once one's exposed by it. I have decided to stay away from their business and I think - somehow - before it's too late, it's time for me to pack my bag and leave.
