Been working pretty hard on some software that I'm really proud of, got some fantastic news today regarding a partnership with one of the largest Open Source companies in the world and was feeling outstanding. My main programmer and I got a few drinks before I had to meet some politicians and their "business" associates.
I have been so fed up with people lately, and everyone wanting something from me... (or them wanting something from my father).... that I felt they were going to ruin my very excellent day. I went in with a super bad attitude knowing I wanted no part of this and about 10 minutes in said I needed to go to the washroom.
I left. It's a weird feeling knowing you're not going to be fired. I've been spending too much time forming superficial relationships with so many of these people, and have not given any time to real friendships that don't require any effort or exchange of favors. I called one of the guys 10 minutes later and told them I had left and to e-mail me the minutes from the meeting. Probably not going to happen.
Golfing with DKR Star reminded me I truly don't have friends that are not involved with business in some way. Going out with buddies means them pitching me business ideas and going over software enhancements. I go golfing to charity events and the guys that invite me are always distributors of some sort trying to get me to buy my products through them. I swear one of the guys was literally playing awful on purpose because I am a horrible golfer.
I sound like a whiny bitch, but honestly, I need to make normal friends again. Anyone who needs a job, lives in Chicago and is bi-lingual (Spanish).... pm me because I need a personal assistant to do most of my work. Going to put it up on Monster.com etc etc.... 45k salary and need to work between 50-60 hours a week.
Drk Star is a cool guy and for some reason we spoke for hours. We were like two women talking about nothing, and I haven't spoken that way since before I started all this crazy shit.
If any of you complained about this sort of shit I'd call u a vagina, and you'd deserve it.
