Crappy evening...(vent)
So today my students were perfect angels, which is a lot to say for hormonal teenagers. So I was flying high and all set to go to my class on campus (I'm working on my Masters degree) this afternoon/evening. I usually love the people in my program, and have a few friends that I often sit with and work together with in a group.
Today, though, these "friends" didn't bother to save me a seat, formed a group without me (although I did end up joining because it was the one topic I wanted to work on), and didn't really even bother to say hi or ask how my break was (even though I made it a point to ask how their vacations were).
Then, to top it all off, while we were discussing our essential question, I totally disagreed with what they were saying it should be. Now, this is something I could deal with, because I know I"m not always right, but they refused to even consider my point of view. I wanted to broaden our question to include my point of view as well as theirs, but they were totally not open to compromise.
Ugh. I just feel like I can't even contribute anything worthwhile to the project now. Not to mention I feel like that annoying friend you just put up with because you're too polite to tell them to go away.
And now DH is working nights so I get to sit at home alone. Just feeling kind of lonely and unappreciated.
Thanks for letting me throw a pity party. Have a cookie (or 5) for listening!

Don't you LOVE when grown adults act more immature than the students you teach? I also teach high school, and when adults act more dramatic and clique-y then my students, it annoys the crud out of me.
I'm sorry you had such a yuck day!!
that really stinks
im sorry.
this is precisely why i dont have very many true friends IRL. b/c the majority of them are losers!

I worked with a woman once who just picked someone every six months or so to stop talking to. Including our boss!! I knew she had stopped being overly nice (her other extreme) to one co-worker, but didn't realize the extent of it until I was the next one! With the first one, it started when she was pregnant. With me, when I broke my arm. With my boss, when she messed up her shoulder. We kind of all expected the opposite reaction!
