podlingWell, sleeping for somewhere between ten and twelve hours certainly did improve my attitude towards life. For instance, I now am more or less happy to be awake. But there is something that I really truly have to pound into my head somehow. See, I keep forgetting to take my allergy pills. After all, it's not like I have allergy symptoms, so I forget and then randomly I'll scratch myself or lean against something or whatever, and then I look like a big goddammed freak who's been whipped repeatedly. Anyone have any ideas on this? To make me remember to do it, that is. I mean, I know the consequences, but I tend to forget how annoying it is when it's not happening.
Apparently the whole "being nice to people" class (note: not the actual name of the class) has indeed sunk in. Either that or the person I have the most issues with has realized that most of the time I'm just humoring them, and they should just let me get on with things. But I am more calm and collected when I argue with him, and he apparently finds it hard to argue easily with someone taking that kind of stance.
Now the real rant... I don't like onions. I'm not sure why this is so hard for people to accept. Add that to the fact that people in my family are often allergic to them. When I eat them, my digestion does sometimes get weird, but the fact is that I don't like them anyway, so this isn't really a hardship. So when I say I don't want them, it'd really be nice if that was just heeded. Mind you, I work in catering. Theoretically, I can have whatever I want, but it's hard to convince them that no, really, I really REALLY don't want onions. At all. Not even one. And that I don't care about why they think onions are good or good for you. Every single day I have to argue with someone over this (except for when I have sushi) and I hate it. I hate eating. I especially hate eating here, and maybe *that* in itself is the reason I've lost weight. Does this constitute a hostile work environment? If I went into anaphylactic shock, I could probably sue, but beyond that? How do I get people to just accept it?
A point to note about onions... if I go to someone's house and they've made food with onions in it, I do try to be polite, eat some and not whine. I really do. But I won't eat much, and I likely won't be completely enthusiastic about it. Thanks.
