I have to go to work today, and it is the last thing I really want to do! I am having some trouble with one of my mangers who is manic-depressive. I called my mom in tears yesterday and was telling her how it felt personal and how unfair it was. And true to my mom I was told that I should be thankful for this Manger and be glad that God was giving me the opportunity to learn how to deal with people before I was some where that I could not come home and bounce these things of of her! Of corse I rebelled at the thought, but after going back to work and thinking about it for a while I knew my mom was right (again) I have a lot to be thankful for and really can't complain, I have a job that is making me money so I can go on this trip and the mangers are just a stepping stone to the real wold, I some times hate it when mom is right! But she is right most of the time so I should be used to it by now!
Dear Maid Elizabeth, I think you may want to proof read your writings before you release them. It may be just the younger generations' shorthand that I perceive as errors but others may too. Take this to heart or kick it to the curb but don't quit writing. We do care. Jeff Turner
ReplyDeleteI presume Jeff is talking about the use of the word "manger" when it should have been "manager?" I knew what you meant, and since your blog was written shortly after Christmas, I figured that was the reason for inadvertently using the word "manger." Big whoop! Moving on....
ReplyDeleteThe manager may have been a gift from God. Learning how to deal with difficult people now, before going out of country, may be just the useful experience you need. Your mother was so right! She's a wise woman, listen to her and you'll become a wise woman, too.
Hang in there.

I am 10 years older than you and did not grow up in a believing family. I became a Christian at 17 (my family are still nominal Catholics). One thing I think about a lot is how my daughters and I will interact as they get older. My mother and I had a lot of strife and tension. It makes me so happy to hear that your mother gives you good counsel and that, even if chafing for a moment, you realize it is good and follow it. That will do you well in your life.
