Getting something off my chest
I've been thinking about doing this post for quite a while but hadn't found a good way to do it, I still haven't but, I'm going to do this and if it makes sense and you follow it, great. If not, My bad but, I'll do the best I can. I'm not going to mention any names or what it was I was doing but, those that were involved know what I'm talking about.(If they even happen to read this) I will patch up a friendship should the person come to me about it. I'm not worried about the other person though quite frankly. I'm not looking to make those that were involved mad but ultimitly, that's probably going to happen. If those people do happen to read what I'm going to say, understand that I'm just getting this off my chest and I'll feel better once I've done it. Ok, here I go. A few months back I had an idea in my head that I wanted to do something so, I asked a friend for a bit of help since I wasn't sure of how to do it. My friend seemed more than happy to do it and did it all for me which, I felt guilty about but My friend said "I do this stuff all the time, it's no big deal" or something to that affect.(probably should of been a red flag right then) Once this was done, We brought on some people to give us a bit of a hand. I told my friend "You can have anyone you like, No problem." That was my first mistake cause I pretty much knew who this friend was going to pick because I had "worked" with this person before and what happened at the end of this had happened to me before. But, being the good person that I was trying to be in not trying to start any trouble I kept my mouth shut. I also got a friend of my own to help out. Mistake number 2. These two people ( the friend I got to help out and the first person that did the "job" for me) ended up getting into a fight and I "fired" the person that I had helping us out. I really liked the idea of doing what I was doing cause other people that have done what I was doing were successful at it. So, I figured "If they can do it, so can I." I probably should of known that when I had asked for some things to be done and they didn't seem to be getting done from what I could tell, I should of probably just quit right then or got someone else that would do it. ( they also weren't responding to my E-mails for whatever reason also. Which also should of been another red flag. I still have these people in various buddy lists and I'm sure that If they read this, I'll be hearing from them in the near future. One person should I hear from them, I will, as I said before try and patch things up with cause I DO like this person. Just not what was being done, or not. The other, I'll just let go probably. Moral of the story (If you're still following me) is really a few things I guess. If you don't like someone, speak up right away so things don't go sour. 2 It can be successful if you have the right people and they are into what is being done to. It's really all about communication I suppose.
