The Wonderful World of Chain Emails...

Let's talk about this for a minute here. You get them all the time, sometimes you open them and sometimes you don't. Some are a waste of time but some are pretty interesting or just cute, like those self-help ones with the cute pictures of kids and dogs playing and beautiful landscapes. Now let's talk about this one particular chain email I got from a so-called "friend"of mine.
She sends out this email to all her friends about some kind of new type of breast cancer and the genious includes a highly graphic picture of what the breast looks like with this type of cancer, without warning you about what you are about to see!!! Fabulous right? Especially when the person that sent this to her is a doctor. You would think doctors would know better than to be sending out this kind of information, particularly because the picture is of a woman that died a couple of days ago from this type of terrible cancer. Show some respect for the dead, people!!!!!
You know a little warning as to what you're about to see might make it easier to bear, however I didn't understand the email since it talked about being aware of it, so you know. Like you can prevent it or something?? I didn't get it.
The point of all this and the reason why I'm so upset by it is, that it actually made me sick to my stomach, to the extreme that I fainted and hit my face on the floor. I actually lost conscience and began suffocating from looking at this picture!! I was so angry that I wanted to go over to the idiot that sent me that stupid email and hit them over the head with the computer.
It's like people don't seem to be affected by things anymore. Why would a doctor send something like that without proper warning, why would they send it out at all!!! What kind of prevention can there be, what am I gonna do now, check for spots on my breast? Believe me, from what I saw in that picture, I think that if I got it , I would definitely know!! God Forbid!!! ugggghh!!!

It's like morbidity is so raw and out there now that for people to be actually affected by something it has to be extremely graphic or disgustingly explicit, like the picture I'm talking about. The best of it all is, that my "friend" is a teacher!!! Now you would think there is a brain operating in that head and actually thinking that this might be a little inappropriate for her to send out, but, no... there's always that little devil that whispers in your ear and says, "yeah, yeah, do it! who cares if it's too much for them to handle!"
I'm so mad. Am I overreacting??

Working Girl

Ok, the fun is over, I start tutoring this week. My first two tutorings start today. Some people think that I'm out of my mind for doing this, but I already did my numbers and by tutoring, I'm going to be making more than I was making in my last job. Not to mention that I don't have the pressure of writing reports, handing in lesson plans, dealing with nasty parents, inept bosses, disrespectful kids or having to handle a class of loud, wild and obnoxious little brats. But the most important thing is that I get to handle my working hours and if I can't make it to a class because I'm sick or I just don't feel like it, then I just cancel and no pressure. That is worth more than the best paying teaching job there is (I should know, I had that job for three months!!)
You know when they say money is not everything, I have come to the realization that is true. While I was making a lot of money, I was always moody and mean and nasty to people. It's amazing, now that I quit I feel so much better, like a weight has been lifted and I intend to keep it that way for as long as possible. I'm definitely not a pleasant person when I'm in one of my moods and I'm usually in a good mood, but for the last six months or so, not even I could stand me. Always barking at people and very intolerant. That's not how I want to go around, I'm a nice person, generally speaking and I feel awful when I act like that.
