I was thinking-
Okay... Horoscopes *winks** Ms. Ramirez brought up points in this such as... have you ever known someone that reads their horoscope then decides to change their plans to match it accordingly?? This would be a great subject.....OR has someone done this? C'mon, tell me you've never checked what kinda day you're going to have in the Horoscopes...Any feedback?

Friends~*
Friends~*
We're not in the 50's anymore. For instance-You can't even look at someone without them giving a dirty look back; no one really holds the door for you on your way into or out of a building anymore; no one really says 'excuse me' for bumping into you, and cutting in front of you at a line happens more frequently. What happened?? January 23rd, I had reconstructive wrist surgery to repair some ligaments. Ouch... yeah. Groggy and in pain, that Saturday I managed to make it to my English class. It's not easy working with one arm/ hand... naturally I was late and scurried into class, and sat in the back. I was embarrased, and breathing hard from rushing up the steps to the 3rd floor. Quietly, I tried with my one hand to get my things for class out of my backpack. A sweet voice arose in my ear...I heard, "Do you need help?" I looked up to see pretty eyes staring back at me. "No thank-you." But this sweet girl didn't leave it like that, for she knew I was struggling. Not only did she help me get my things out, but she was there for me all throughout class and after. I don't want to mention any names, but I believe that God has certain people in our path, I'm so happy that he put her in mine. You don't find people like this everyday. I haven't known her for a long time, but I consider us friends already. I hope we stay friends for a long, long time. Thank you very much for your hospitality- You know who you are!!!

High School Behavior
High-School Behavior in a Work Environment:
I have a question for you: Why is it that we end up joining 'clans' at work? Did you notice that our actions around our work place reflect on our high-school behaviour? I had interviewed people, (becuase I did a paper on this in my last English class)
What they had to say was quite intersting. A lot of them said that they join 'groups' to feel accepted, and so they won't be frowned upon... .ring a bell?
I am or was going thru the same thing at my work place. I even confronted the lady that was talking behind my back... I said, "I don't know what I did to you, or what happened between us, but I need to know so our work-relationship will improve."
Her response: "Nothing, you did nothing... I just prefer not to talk to you, or be around you."
OOOKAY then.
What is that? She didn't even give me a chance as a person...I am more grown up than she is, the lady is 56 years old. Last year around this time, another girl... I say girl cause she's in her 30's was picking on me and yelling at me in front of customers. One day, I'd had it. I took her in front to my manager and told her, *sobbing* "What did I do to you? I deserve the same respect that I've been giving you... I don't know what your problem is or why you're treating me this way, but it stops, now." She actually said she was sorry. When I left my bosses office, my other co-workers called me over their desks and said, "Way to go, it's about damn time someone stood up to her."
WHOA! Way to go me!! I think everyone should be treated with the same respect... as the saying goes "Be treated like you want to be treated." I take that to heart.
