Fay A. Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 One of the things I pray for every day is that God will protect me from people who cannot learn anything. These are usually folks who already know everything, and they scare me. And there are so many of them. I can't imagine not being open to new ideas. I can't imagine not being willing to share information. It's one thing to feel confident in our abilities. It's something else to have an ego so fragile or so rigid that one cannot even consider the possible merits of another idea or method. God, please shield me from those who cannot learn. I have spent almost 15 hours over the past two days dealing with folks who know it all. I take no pleasure in force feeding a lesson they won't forget. It could have been civil and instructive, and relatively painless for all parties. And I'm the one labeled "The B!+@H". sigh..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justakid Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Fay- You are so right! Sometimes it's just not worth it! Hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'm with you on that one! My therapist reminds me that after 3 cancers I don't have patience for some of that "stuff". Not important to me. I avoid them when possible. gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch1366 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Fay, Geez. Some people!! I would take it off your shoulders if I could. I think you have enough on your plate as it is. I'll send you some strength and patience too, along with a little chicken soup a la email, okay? Love ya! XOXOXOXOX MaryAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NellW Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Praying for you, Fay! Why people act that way is beyond me, but they are certainly exhausting to say the least! Love Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail p-m Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 You know, Fay, I always figure that you go through life only once (at least as far as I know right now). I don't know why they can't make the road reasonably easy??? I like what gail wrote that after her cancers, she just doesn't have time for these people anymore. However, I suspect you're talking about your docs. Sometimes we can fire 'em but sometimes we just can't. I'm sorry you had such a tough time of it and we all know you're not the BI%%& in this. Hang in there. Gail P-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen335 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Fay, Sorry you are going through this BS. I pray that it gets better for you. As if these people have experienced what you have gone through or are going through. Special prayers for you each day. Please keep us posted... God Bless and gentle hugs, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
