It's not Monday
02.07.06 (2:48 pm)   [edit]

I am so out of it today! I've been thinking it was Monday.

I don't usually have late nights on Mondays, and then I came in really late to work this morning and shortly after I went out for lunch! And soon I am having another meeting...so any work has not been happening.

Lunch with dad was not too torturous. He gave me food again. I still have a bag of apples from two weeks ago. This week is oranges. He also gave me lettuce. I have two heads already in my fridge. He shows he cares by giving me food, which I appreciate. But...I can't handle all the food. If it's not produce, it's usually food I am trying to avoid...cakes, deep fried stuff...he doesn't understand that I'd rather leave those things out of my diet. "Cake? How is that bad?!"

Back to the dad asking questions and not really listening to the answers. He ordered some deep fried dough thingee that was covered in syrup. I never eat it. But he was insistent. "Do you want some?" "No." "How about just a little?" "No, I don't want any." And then he plunks a chunk of it in my bowl.

"Do you want soya sauce poured on the rice rolls?" "No." "Are you sure? How about a little?" "No, I'd rather spoon it." And then he pours the soya sauce on the rice rolls.

Why bother asking?! 

When I told my friend that I was going to be managing someone, he mentioned he couldn't see me as a manager because I tend to avoid conflict.

And I do try to avoid conflict as much as possible!

Avoiding conflict does make me more human *L* But I think managers have no choice but to deal with politics and w hat not. I may just model myself after my first manager. He was great!

Rosie that is so cute that he keeps bringing you food... we parents just worry about our kids, and that is his way to show he cares....when he brings it just say thanks and if it is something you really don't need, or want to eat, take it to work to share, or dump it but don't not except, because that would really probably hurt his feeling....enough mother talk.....judy

Yes, I do that already. I say thanks and try to eat as much of it as possible :) thanks for your advice, Judy :)

i sympathize with the food issue. I know I've told my mom countless times that I'm avoiding wheat because I'm allergic to it and she keeps giving me food that has wheat in it.

I hate conflict too! That's why I am not a good debater.
