I just finished all the Twilight Books. I remember being young and reading these no substance romance books. And I admit that I read a series that was so sappy and heart wrenching, but they never made the obsessive craze that these books have. What a bunch of fluff. Not only did the author try too hard but her writing was a sad attempt at quality. It is as sad as The Da Vinci Code without the interesting research.
I am mostly sad that girls are still surrounding them selves with books that have no redeeming quality to them. They read this fluff and think that that is what life is about, it never prepares them for the real world and the have very strange expectations of Happily Ever After. What shit! Can we not read books like Little Women that is about the girls making better choices? About wanting a career, learning how hard it is too be married, about death, and shaping your character into something good instead of your body.
Lastly, these books bugged me because I wasted a total of 2560 on something that could have fit into at least half that. I wasted about a month reading them and do not feel smarter for doing so!

To Say Something or Not
In the past I have worked in the positions are really the catch all to the terrible jobs that no one wants to do. This job that I currently have is no different. I am assigned jobs that no one wants to do but everyone has an opinion about. It is so frustrating to go through all this work and be told to do it and then people get involved and change things. What is more frustrating is to not be told that things are being changed. In the three months that I have worked here it has happened in almost ever project that I have done. Do they really think that it is fine to go behind my back and do this? So...I am struggling with standing up for myself and saying that it is disrespectful and rude to do this or to sit by and allow it to happen time and time again. This was one of the big issues that I had at my previous job and I was so miserable there. I do not care at all about this company but still would like to stand up for myself. What to do?
