This week I'd like to touch on a few things. To keep everyone up to date I haven't bothered this week to weigh myself or even keep track of it. Though I've been trying to eat better. So that's good. I can't eat overly heavy things as of late.
I'd also like to mention that I have gotten new glasses and so my eyes actually feel better though my headache for the past few days have been due to tension and the darn pressure in the air. It keeps changing this time of year. My eyes have been long long overdue for a check up and it's been near 6 years since I had one. And now I can actually see the screen without it being a blur and having to be so close to the screen. This is a wonderful thing since I couldn't do anything without having to take off my glasses or squint even with them on. So now that I can see better, admittedly I've been playing video games and watching more tv and reading lol!
Other than that there isn't much to report on other than the controversial Samoa Airlines and their new way of fare, by weight. I don't know if I totally agree with this or not. I do but I don't. On one side it's discrimination and horrible to have to "weigh in" but on the other hand their right in the way that 1. we as a human population are getting overly obese and 2. that airplanes were made to hold a certain weight by a certain type of plane and therefore there should be a certain weight limit just like there would be cargo. But then another thing too is that for those who are heavier what about seating size etc.? I suppose certain vehicles could be said the same about them when it comes to size and in fact I even saw a van that the step was broken off of on the drivers side by the driver, who was and would be considered in our society overly obese. So much so that he shook the vehicle getting in, broke the step and couldn't get the seat far enough back to not hit the steering wheel. And admittedly, I am human and am hit by societal views on obesity and yes, I found it disturbing, disgusting but I also felt sorry for him. There are some conditions that cause it, some people are born that way and there are others that you can stop that process and not be that way like say on.. Wall-E.
I really don't want to see the human race become like that. Is that the direction we're going? I honestly think we are. I'm not saying everyone has to be a supermodel, or the thin definition we have going for it where we have to not eat to be a size 0 or, as I heard on a recent report, eat tissues!!! OMG tissues????! To stay thin? How is this even digestible or even possible to be still living !? Talk about eating disorders! And here's one, I heard on another report, and on a show on the TLC network called My Crazy Obsession, of a woman who eats nothing but tire shavings! I never thought in my life I would be hearing that people are eating such poisonous things in this way! The body is not meant to digest these things. We are not scavengers and even vultures, crows, rats, are not meant to digest that stuff!
Moving along, as I said there isn't much else to report on this week so I think I'm going to leave it here. I think I need more sleep and I have work tomorrow bright and early.
Oh yes speaking of work, one last thing, harassment/bullying. It's something that as adults we should not be doing and trying to set an example for others and working together as a team in a professional team environment. However some people seem not to get the concept of that and if so then please report it to your manager. I had a colleague decide she was going to state that I was wrong and bully me and yell at me for being right, and it wasn't even a matter of who was right and wrong for me in fact that didn't matter, what mattered was how it was affecting the customer and how we can resolve the said issue and as to who caused it, though it was her, also didn't matter so much to me. But no because it was her and because she caused the issue she decided that she was right and I was wrong and she was going to yell at me in front of my peers and make me feel hurt and cry. This is not right. And though I would like an apology, right now I just want to know it was resolved with the customer. But it still affects my mental and emotional health and well being in the workplace hence why I bring it up. I did bring it to a manager's attention and hopefully something is done, since I've been off three days I really don't know what to expect when I return. Here's just hoping that it ends there and doesn't go any further.
And now I leave you with having a good week everyone. :)
