I have a lot of guy friends, always grew up with a lot of guy friends. When it comes to guy friends, and their girlfriends it has always been a tricky situation. Somehow, they always think that we are more than friends, when that isn’t the case. In the past, I made zero effort to get to know my guy friend’s girlfriends. Sounds mean, but really I knew it was never serious. Also, whenever we were introduced they always gave me a serious side eye, as if they never really trust that we are just friends. I normally ignore it, and them. Now, as I am getting older I am realizing that some of my guy friends, and I have very close friendships, and if they are in a relationship that makes them happy, the least I can do is make the effort to get to know their girlfriends. I have never done this before by the way, however I figured it is the grown woman thing to do. I mean, I rather do that then be in an awkward situation where we have nothing to say to each other, and you label me the B*TCH cause you have heard so much about me, yet still I have never reached out to you.
Have you ever felt unappreciated at work? I am sure we all have. Lately, more than ever I have started to feel unappreciated at work. I am a hard worker, overachiever always over delivering. At first, I felt that over delivering was a great thing. It was almost a way for me to measure my success, almost as a dare to myself to see if I could set a new bar for myself. I thrived off of it. My employer loved it ! My supervisor appreciates it and encourages me constantly. However, I don’t think anyone else does. They have almost become used to me over delivering and exceeding their expectations. I don’t even feel that I am being treated like a human being anymore, I feel like I am being treated like a machine. No one asks how I am doing, how the workload that is being given to me is affecting me. No one bothers to ask about my professional advancement goals. Nothing, I am now considered a machine that yields results “Need something done, sure dump it on Krissy, she’ll turn that around for you faster and better than anyone”.
