I'm going to complain here about several things that have been bothering me lately.
1. Jury Duty - I had a horrible jury duty experience at the beginning of this week and unfortunately have to go back because apparently my 8 hours in the jury room and courtroom don't count. And having the judge yell at me that I think I'm so special because I have no one to watch my children and can't come back the next morning at 9 am, just really was the icing on the cake. I understand that it's our obligation since we live in a free society, blah blah blah, but seriously, I don't ever want to have to do that again. Horrible. I have anxiety anyway, and that just threw me over the edge. I'm actually going to ask my doctor to write me a letter to see if they'll excuse me.
2. People asking for money - I have a former friend who keeps asking people for money. My opinion is that if you don't have the money for this extra thing in your lives, then you don't need that extra thing. The economy is horrible right now. People are worrying about how they're going to feed their children and you're asking for money for something ridiculous? Yeah, no, f you! Not happening.
3. Divorce - coming from a broken home myself, I always feel major pain when people divorce. Sometimes divorce is what needs to happen, but I know the pain and suffering that my mother, sister and I went through during the time the divorce was in progress. It's not easy to tear a family apart and no matter which side you are on, it still hurts. I've seen too many families recently who are going through this and my heart hurts for them all. I'm afraid for my friendships because I feel like now we can't do things as families, it's now one on one and I liked being able to do things as families. I also worry about the children involved in these situations. I know how messed up it made me and I worry that these children will have major problems with relationships.
I'm not judging anyone, well except the people in complaint #2 - and that's a specific family that I'm talking about. I understand that some people like jury duty - good for them - I wish that I had a better attitude about it, but I don't. I also understand that divorce is inevitable for some families. It still breaks my heart and I hate to see people go through that.
