...when you just can't find balance in your life? when you feel like all bad things happen and it's so hard to find the light at the end of the tunnel? yeah, well that's what I've been feeling lately. I know i've said this before but the office politics here at work just make me sick. the he said/she said dynamics and the ways in which "friendships" are formed here are just soooo political and racial!last weekend i saw a baby kitten in the playground at the elementary school by my house. i noticed some kids were torturing the poor thing so i decided to take him away, but then realized that i was stuck in a dilemma: if i brought him home my little brother would get sick because he's allergic to cats and dogs but if i left him outside he was bound to die since he was tiny and clearly not ready to be on his own. on the other hand if i took him to the pound, he would likely be put to sleep, afterall there is an overpopulation of animals at our local shelters. i decided i would ask around to see if anyone wanted him. i tried two different people and their reactions were just sick. the first question was "what color is it?" when i said he was brownish with grey....they said nah, i like white cats...so then i said "well he's cute, and he has blue eyes". only when i said he had blue eyes did they consider taking him....but in the end, "no, it's ok. I've been looking around for a white fluffy cat". well i can say that both Chloe (the name i gave the kitty) and i apologize for not being white and meeting your standards... but then i'd be lying...we don't apologize. although lying would maybe buy me a ticket into the inner circle here in the world of politics at work...
