OMG, so much drama!
Jan. 27th, 2009 05:08 pmOy. You know, normally I avoid having friends with this much drama in their lives, for the entirely selfish reason that it is exhausting!
So, this coworker of mine, she's really cool. Very loud and extremely opinionated, but generally fun to hang around with. She's the one who more or less instigated our Friday night potluck-dinner-theme-night things, most of which I enjoy very much.
But she's got Drama. She and her boyfriend have broken up. Again. They're one of those couples. And for all kinds of reasons I'm not going to talk about here because it's her business (even though she has even less of a TMI filter than anyone else I know...), she still loves the guy, even though she knows and can articulate that he is a jerk, borderline abusive, controlling, self-absorbed and callous.
I can handle it, I'm her friend, I have to handle it. And it's not even that bad. I just keep forgetting how tiring it is to have friends that require this much upkeep. The other friends I have? Pretty damn mellow. And even when they have drama in their lives most of them/you are a lot more philisophical about it and can handle it within reason. She just sort of falls apart when faced with anything other than a very minor setback.
*sigh*
Okay. I'm done bitching. Thankfully, she's going out salsa dancing with our boss/friend, so hopefully she'll have fun and remember what it was like before she got together with that asshole.
