entry 2381

october.8.2009

when i transferred to this office a year and a half ago, i had my first encounter with an unusual employee. within the first month that i was working in my then new location he had made quite a number of inappropriate comments. if i had been with the team longer i would have gone straight to my boss and reported him, because his comments were that disturbing (he asked how i managed to do 'it' with my disability. and kept looking at my lower region) but for some reason i didn't. i had just come from a nasty situation in chantilly, i was pretty sure i was already under watch for some reason. so i blew it off, i went to a female coworker who had been here for years and told her. she ended up having another male watch out.

but did he stop.

no, in fact he has made some rather rude and inappropriate comments towards me from that day on. i have tried to warn him and all, but it doesnt seem to help.

why didn't i go to my boss?

because no one at the time was around me to verify that he was actually saying anything. that changed this week. and i had had enough.

the latest:

Standing around the table, with two other guys.

Guy 1: Man I am bored
Guy 2: Me to.
Mr. Romance: I am tired, I had a class that kept me up til 12AM
Me: How many classes are you taking?
Mr. Romance: One online. Its a Masters.
Me: I am taking two.
Mr. Romance: Yeah well this is different, its a Masters.
Me: Try adding my 8 month old son.
Mr. Romance: Only if I made it.

Yeah ok....it was a little awkward I must say. The three of us were standing around saying what??? i didnt know what to say or how to react to it. the guys eventually told him he should just stop it and he did.

but i had had enough, i am tired of hearing it. so today while he wasn't in the office i decided it was time to go to my boss. just as a warning.

because i wont put up with it for to much longer. and as i told him. i really dont want to make or cause a scene.

it would not be pretty.

2380..not leaving yet.

2380

so let me get this straight. i am not leaving.

at least not yet. kiwi for now still holds me, still has everything. but perhaps its time to start rethinking things. like the fact that even though i love my cheesy little layouts, maybe its time to just start getting back to the basics. after all when i first came on to kiwi, i didnt do them. so why not not do them again.

and who knows, my rant yesterday was driven by a kiwinote asking me to check out the new kiwi, which im thinking, didnt they just get a new version? why the rush to update again. i mean i was just getting used to this one, and now they are changing it up again.

so i checked it out, and its completely different than any other of kiwi's past sites. i dont know what to think of it. of course there are still a lot of kinks to be worked out, the site is in german i believe. so i dont even know what half of it says. i dont speak german.

so yeah.

i dont know if i would actually leave. or even when i will. and no i would not get rid of the 'mature' blogs, just going to update them a lot more often than i do. i know i need to do it anyway...

and in case you are interested. i am on both blogger and livejournal. should you wish to follow me on there, let me know and i can send you the link or give you my name.

but as for kiwi, i will give it a try. i will wait to see how things go. and when the time is right, if the time is ever right that i should choose to leave the site that i have called my blogging home. i will dif let you know. for you the readers have become friends, family and what not. and i would want you to be thee during the years as we watch our children and each other-cus lets face it are we really adults?-grow up.

just my 2 cents for the day.

taken from blogger earlier today

So from time to time I have mentioned having more than one blog. I can't help that I am a word junky. Anyway, blogger has been my recent acquire and there for has never been my main one.

No, the title belongs to a little website called Kiwibox, now Kiwi and I have had a relationship for going on damn a decade now. They have gone through a sisters runaway, my first love, an engagement. A marriage, a pregnancy a birth.

it has been there through it all, all documented and written out, with now over two thousand entries total.

But things are changing, and the reasons I have stuck with it may no longer be there. No longer do my cool little designs, that i loved seem to be there. It's looking an awful lot like blogger, livejournal all the other ones.

Perhaps its a silly thing, to be this upset over a site design. But I am a Gemini here. I like change. If nothing more than being able to change the layout on a daily basis..Different layouts for different moods sort or thing. It was nice. I liked it.

And i liked it a lot more than some other sites that I felt like were overexposure. I would have a hard time finding out exactly who I was. You have to do a little more digging with this site.

I used to justify my reasons for staying, I have several things written there. I have written every day, for the past years. Things I havent shared with people are on there. Erasing it would be like erasing my life in a lot more ways than I want to admit. But at the same time, I am no longer a teenager. The site geared to young adults and adolescents. Doesn't quite fit with my vibe anymore.

So its a sad thing to think, but i do believe my days with kiwi are coming to an end. But I no longer feel like with the new site that is sure to be coming, there is any specific reason to stay. There is no strong desire to stay like there once was.

The breakup is inevitable.
