I'm quite a nervous person when it comes to certain things
I get frightened when I have to do anything new or scary by myself, like the other day I got the bus from one of our offices to the other and right up until I actually arrived at the office I was really nervous because I always think that I will have got the wrong one, or it'll go to a different place or it'll be horrifically late or something.

I think the only time I have ever been really truly nervous is the morning of the sky dive. I didn't feel what I recognised as fear or anxiety, I just felt really cold and unhappy.

Other than that I'm a pretty happy bunny most of the time.

sky dives are silly
there is the ground, there is a plane, why the hell do you need anything in between?

I've learned my lesson
it was for charity though in aid of anaphylaxis research, something that killed my friend's sister, so I felt obliged. Also, I had no idea I would hate it that much until I arrived at the field. At least I don't have to waste time and money bungee jumping, base jumping or abseiling now though.

I like the odd bit of fear when playing sports or what not
but when it's sky diving or base jumping or bungee jumping there is no room for error. If it goes wrong you're pretty much dead. That is fecking scary.

Yeah, but that's not a fun way to upset kitty.
Plus the ones in quotes don't count.
edit: actually you're a liar.

I get very nervous doing all those little silly new things
I love travelling but I have to make sure I've covered all the possible problems, just in case: embassy phone number and direction, documents copied, credit cards and money spread in different places, check and re-check the map a hundred times... and I always fear I'm doing it wrong...

Then I got to meet Mark, and he's just the opposite. And he's made me better about this. I'm still cautious, but now, when I get nervous in case I took the wrong bus, he asks: "and what if you did?" and I think: "yeah, it's not so important, I can pick another, I can take a taxi, I can ask for directions... yeah, no need to worry"

My life is much better now.

you are so happy at the moment aren't you?
It's nice to see how loved up you are come through when you write about Mark.

Yeah, am I getting boring now?
I'm happy about my love life. I'm so upset about work. So, so, so upset. GRRRR

Not boring at all
I don't think anyone likes their job that much unless it's a vocation. That's why we have hobbies I think. Is the new role not going as well as you would have liked?

I chose this job and really enjoyed it
It's been 2 slow years of doing the same thing again and again, but now finally I got to do this new role, which sounded very interesting and exciting. So for the last 2 weeks I've really liked what I'm doing, despite the 4h comute every day and not having time for anything.

Now, I told one of my colleagues of one problem that we have and that'll need some time to solve, but that's fine, I'll solve it, I just need time to do it, and I have time on this role. However, my colleague told my boss, and my boss has decided, without even asking me, that another person, an "expert" is going to solve that problem, and do my new role for me, while I go back to the boring job I've been doing for 2 years.

I want to kill someone.

oh man that sucks!
can you not try and convince your boss to give you a chance on it?
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 10:54, Reply)

I've been talking with my bosses for these 2 years
They keep saying I'm brilliant and so good, but it's not the right moment, just be patient. And now what are they going to say? This is an important job, they don't want to lose it. I hate this.

that is harsh. Is there anything you can do?

I'm between
1. Fuck off, I'm fed up with you, I'm going to get another job.

and

2. Right, I'm going to work overtime for free, solve this problem and show you how good I am (I've done this before, I got congratulations from everybody, including the client, who was impressed with the job, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything)

Just take time to think before reacting.
Might be worth speaking to Mark as well see what he thinks. But you know your role and the company best. Do whatever will work out best for you. Would it be a bad move to say look I appreciate you're concerned with this issue however I think I have a solution and would like you to continue showing the faith in me you have so far and let me do my job.

Or would they bitch slap back to the basement? x
