It’s My Wonderful Life

So I have warned you!

You try so hard to be the mediator. You get tired of it. You are the one that is known for the one that goes with the flow. You can only take so much.

Today was my day. It was field day and it came to the last event tug-of-war. My class got stuck on the end of the rope that had the mud. The other classes side was dry. I mentioned that it was muddy. No one even paid attention. I was like OK we are just going to have to bear with this. We lost (which is fine). The next two teams come up. The teacher mentioned the mud and they moved them over. This made me very mad. I questioned it and ask for a do over for my team. I was told no. Stupid me proceeds to run my mouth. Still I was denied. Still angry…mouth is still running 90 mph. That is ok if I was so and so you would redo it and proceeded to try for third and fourth place.

Not thinking anything of it. I get wrote up for my actions and proceeding to run my mouth say, “Well, I have done nothing different than _____.” My opinion didn’t even matter.

So I warned you! I am upset at the this matter for two things. (!) I let things slide and go with the flow and ask for one thing and I get denied. (2) I am mad at myself for the way I handled it (so not professional).

See I am the type of person that holds it all in and goes with the flow. Then one day I get enough of being pushed around and stand up for myself. This is not a very good trait to have, but it is one that I struggle with everyday. I often question myself about how to handle situations. You don’t need to tell people what you really think all the time and then you don’t just take it and go. What is the middle line? What are you suppose to do?
