I'm currently at work and I'm am very irritated. First off, in the past two days more than one person has referred to me as a "girl" who works in the Youth Services Department. Are people trying to be disrespectful on purpose or are they just stupid? Aside from the fact that I am a 27-year-old woman, I am a librarian in this building and I should be referred to as a librarian and not just some girl who just to happens to work in the Youth Services Department.
Secondly, I just had to school "Julia" on how most Cubans are actually very well educated individuals and that Cuba is not some ass backwards country, it's just communist. She made a very uninformed and rude comment about me visiting Cuba to build a library like they didn't have one.
Thirdly, I came on here to rant and saw that I lost a follower. That is so upsetting. I don't unfollow anyone's blog that I started to follow. It's so upsetting loosing a follower. It's like, what did I do that this person decided that my blog sucked and they didn't wanna be bothered by me anymore.
So yeah, I'm not in the best of moods right now. I hope everyone else is having a better day than I am.
You, my dear, sound like you're having a ROUGH day. It's really hard to tolerate disrespect, and I don't think it's wrong of you to want those around you to respect your position and age, for that matter. I hope your day improves quickly :)
ReplyDeleteI'm mad about the Cuba comment still. There is no reason in this day for people to be ignorant. Not cool. Glad you schooled her. About the lost follower, not a problem. I just started following you, and I'm linking you to my blog. Your blog is fabulous, and so are you. I hope the day gets better.
