Get In My Belly!

What goes in...must come out

My patience is being put to the test BIG TIME. For the past two and a half weeks I've had to work with the most EVIL woman I've ever met in my life. I don't know what it is about this woman but the only way you can get through to her is to be just as mean right back at her. I've tried the nice thing...I just got trampled all over. I've tried being indifferent to her evilness...but that just made her more angry. So now, everyday I go into work with my boxing gloves on. But being mean is really tiring, especially since I have to switch it on and off between talking to clients. I think I'm developing schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. I've been praying to God that she just wouldn't show up to work even though I know that he's saying, "Yea right, Sarah...nice try". But this morning, she actually wasn't there when I got in...but she just came in late and I thought, "God, why do you tease me so???"

It reminds me of when I was a kid and used to pray to God that I'd get into a car accident on the way to my piano lesson so I wouldn't have to go. (Yes, I hated piano that much). Unfortunately, I don't think I emphasized "on the way TO my piano lesson" enough because one day my mom and I got into a car accident on the way back. I felt so guilty because I thought the car accident was my fault that I confessed to my mom what I prayed for.
