crazytown

even crazy people are sometimes in charge of important things. arranging a funeral or cremation, for example, does not have to be something that brings one to the brink of a breakdown. sure, the more intimately connected a person is to a loved one who dies may directly relate with to amounts of grief, denial and depression that one might experience, but lets not use the occurence purely for attention seeking behaviors. this is no time to trample on people who are there to help. death is an event that happens to everyone, and purely being unstable does not mean that you are the first one to ever experience the painful feelings associated with the end of a relationship and a new world view. grow up crazies, what part of becoming a normal adult did you miss out on. i am not responsible for your pain, so ease up. i get it, you need to express that things are not right in your life, but take it out on someone you know. sure, i may have an easier time dismissing your behavior than those you know, or maybe they are so used to your goofy outlook that they could put up with it easier than i could. either way, i am still here to serve you, so appreciate the fact that you were not passed on to someone else to deal with, simply because you are nuts. i do care about your mental well-being, but i also get a paycheck for helping you. i know i'm no saint; just don't treat me subhuman, or refuse to shake my hand, or tell me over the phone that you don't like me, when it is you who can't remember the simple instructions that i gave you yesterday. i may just have to vent on my blog instead of thinking of ways to help you cope.

I hate it when the center of the universe gets moved, too.

Sounds like somebody needs a hug

this is a good place to relieve that kind of tension.
