THE BFF THEORY AND ITS COMMON MISUNDERSTANDINGS

Today i had a tantrum. It wasn't one of those tantrums where you kick and scream against everything and make everybody know that there is a scene going on near by, and of course we all know im very capable of that, but it was a very different type of tantrum. I guess im growing up.

So i've mentioned my best friend Fran once or twice at my blog, i have mentioned that i appreciate her honesty and her views about the world, we happen to share a lot of them, we differ on many, but in a very constructive (say, complementary) kind of way.

Today however, we had a little discussion. First off, let me say that i work in a place where beign nice to your costumers takes points away from you. However doing whatever you want against them will cause you to win a "Payed day off", stars and most certaily, someone wiith those same capabilities will win tickets to see Tiesto from front row, or wherever the VIP section is located at in CS. Having said that, i move to my point. My friend can choose who will play substitute during her vacation time. Today i asked for that slight luxury. I was blatantly denied that shot. You guys want to know why? Because someone else has that spot. Perfect, but i want to know, why? Because im not as good as the girl she picked.

Like in my place people get jobs for their merits. Cause you know, the staff works their ass off. It just so happens i used to be good at my work, before i got sick and tired of it. Then came December. Yes, i seriously admit that i broke a few rules during that month for the sake of xmas time, but, now it turns out im only as good as my last 2 months of work, cause you know all those awards i used to get and all those stars i got where just bullshit. Well you know what? I could not care less.

It's like i've said before. My friendship with Fran has thought me so much, and im so thankful for that. Today i had a bitter learning, work is work, period. I did not like my lesson, but i had it comming. I've earned it.

Nevertheless, i wish that when i leave Vimenca (or when i am forced to leave) i can keep contact with her. Out of all my friends, she's the only one i actually trust on stuff i dont trust people i've known for years. I complained today, but trust me, i do appreciate you saying that.

A true friend is not the one who makes you laugh, its the one that makes you cry with the truth. Thats a TRUE BFF. Thanx.

Ehl.
