I have been going thru a lot of emotional crap lately with the divorce and all the details that go with it. The settlement is taking forever and I want to call the attorney and say what the hell are you doing??? Speed it up and make it snappy!!! I bite my lip &
say nothing because it won't help anything to be rude. I have been so upset and emotional that I stay
away from a lot of people and some
meetings cuz I know I am gonna end up being rude. Are you rude or polite??? PLease let me know!!!!
Thanks----Mistyeve

I often hear settlements CAN take months and years. So you need to be patient.
I try to be polite, but I know if when there are times I have been rude in the past, I traced it back to something that was happening in my life that had nothing at all to do with that person.I let my anger at something that was giong on in my life alter my personality and i behaved badly. About 1 1/2 years ago i got angry that my boss took something away from my class and gave that opportunity to another grade. My students ahd practiced and were excited about it, but he thought the younger class wanted to do it more. So he jsut made that decision. I was angry. I was powerless. I had no time to vent or calm down because he jsut came in my room and told me. It was not long until I raised my voice at my students. One put her hands over her ears. i am not a screamer at my students. When I saw the reaction she had of covering her ears, i KNEW I had let my felings get into the way of my good teaching. I had to calm down and apologize tot he whole class for yelling. I was rude. I traced it back and realized it had nothing to do with my students.
When another person is rude to ME, instead of being rude right back to them, I often whisper to myself..I have no idea who peed in his/her Cheerios today. That really works. popping back off to them woudl only make theri problems worse. And it woudl set ME up for a needed amends.

Dear Lin---To actually see someone
cover their ears while you are talking to them is a real strong &
effective wake up call!!! Your principal sounds like an inconsiderate ass. He is a good example of what NOT to be! Thanks for stopping by here! I do appreciate you helping me to keep the column limping along. Please let me know when you want to give
it up and we can politely say good bye to all our ghosts! Thanks again honey!-----Mistyeve

The other day I had to get a ride from a friend to pick up my car, and this experience taught me something that probably will forever stick to my mind...
This person was making a uturn in a middle of the road (no traffic area) and she was in the process of making the uturn when we were making our turn into the road... my friend, rolled down the window and started screaming on top of her lungs..in such profanity I nearly died of embarrasement that I was in the car with her.. her rudeness just flipped me out that I think will change my attiutde towards other drivers and their crazyiness in how they drive into a way way more polite way of approching these kind of drivers. I am still thinking how nuts she looked screaming at this lady as I am writting this.
Just rude as rude as she could be.. nutso.
