I've never understood relationships.
Never.
With this lack of understanding, I tend to wreak havoc on the relationships that I desire to maintain and the relationships I need to maintain in a healthy way. Especially my family. Honestly, I'm quite surprised I haven't been given a notice of eviction yet. So here I am, sitting at my computer bawling my eyes out because I can't seem to hold a normal conversation with my own mother without it turning into an argument over who knows what and why.
Relationships are just so hard to maintain in a healthy, appropriate way because every single person deals with situations differently. I am one of those people that needs an hour or two or three to think over what had just happened and why it happened and how it turned so sour so quick, whereas a majority of the people in my immediate family are, for the most part in their own individual ways, the kind of people that usually come out of a fight/argument/disagreement, then five minutes later are trying to reconcile themselves with the other person. This is something that doesn't go over very well with me because of my needing extra time to process everything.
Communication is another huge issue. I am constantly failing in this department because I internalize. My thinking process doesn't help at a lot either because, for the most part, I think in general concepts, ideas, and pictures, and when a person thinks way, it's a little bit harder to translate the thought into words, it takes a little bit longer to get the information out. This gets me into a lot of trouble sometimes because I start rambling on and on, trying to find the right words, causing the listener(s) to either become uninterested in what I have to say and stop listening or become annoyed by my rambling. I'm not really one of those ramblers that try to fill the silence.
I don't mind silence. . . actually, I prefer silence. I like silence because silence doesn't require me to talk.
I feel that I have rambled enough about nothing and now feel that I must say goodnight to the world wide web and all who inhabit it.
So until next time, Buenas Noches.

Entertainment Titled 'E-mail'
I always enjoy funny and cute e-mails and I love to spread the joy of those e-mails with the internet community by forwarding them to people I know. This is an e-mail that one of my co-workers at the credit union sent me and I thought it was quite amusing. So enjoy!

The First of Many Musings
Now, who knew that I would start a blog? Definitely not me, but since I'm not always coming into contact with my friends and family on an extremely regular basis, this might be a good thing. Hopefully.
Now, many people have known that I have been working, but it seems that I have failed to keep people up to date on my whereabouts in concerns to work. As of October of this past year, 2008 (it's so weird to call 2008 last year!), I've been working at a credit union as a teller. Mind you, working at a financial institution as a teller is no easy thing, because, especially in the economic turmoil the world over is in, people want their money to be safe and, especially if dealing with a large sums of money, it can be very easy to make a mistake. Trust me.
I definitely cannot complain about my job, I can't, it's not possible. Now, there are days when I'm just not in a good mood and I don't want to deal with people and there are days when some of the members of the credit union get on my nerves and days when my co-workers annoy (and no doubt days that I annoy my co-workers). These are normal. I can't complain about the job because it's a good job, a better paying job than the other jobs that I have had, and it is a blessing job because there a people all across the United States, and all across the world, that do not have jobs. I am truly blessed.
So, the day was a short workday because of my having to go to some extra training for work and it did not take as long as was expected, so I'm able to hang out for pretty much the rest of the day and hem my too long pants for my too short legs. Being short is not fun at times because I'll find pants that I like, but cannot find pants in the length that I need. It always seems to work out that way, all the pairs of trousers and pants where the length is correct either don't fit me properly or I don't like them, then the trousers and pants that fit me for the most part and that I like, the length is too long. Interestingly though, I was talking with my supervisor, who is short like myself, and my manager, who is tall unlike myself, and we got onto the topic of hemming pants and they both told me about this stuff that could be used to hem pants without having to actually sew the pants! And it's cheap!! With this stuff, you would prepare the pants for hemming just like you would normally do, fold the pant legs to the length needed, iron them so they stay in place, get this stuff and place it in between the pieces of fabric and iron it!
Bada Bing. Anyhow.
