Smart people can be the dumbest in the world

When someone comes to you for a question they think of you as a resource. They think you are the expert or what they believe is close enough or good enough for them to VALUE your advice and guidance. If you don't feel like helping someone because it takes too long to find the answer then respectably decline. I am personally just confused on a certain individual refusal to be loyal and helpful to their "so called friends". Just because someone isn't on your business Facebook page or Twitter connecting you in that form doesn't mean you have to be a jerk when they find what works for them to connect to you with.

I don't get much interaction on this blog or my business facebook page...but I have been lucky with my Life Dosing Drugs Blogs.  The fact that I still write on any form of my social media connections is my need to communicate what is on my mind and to see if it reaches others or not. The Internet has opened doors to become the most social person you could ever be by just sitting in your office chair staring at a computer screen. I am grateful for the emails and the phone calls and hell even the text messages when they come. It makes me feel like what I say and do makes a difference and that was the whole point of being socially connected within the media. I've even been lucky enough to be apart of the New York Times on adverse drug reactions because of the way I answered what I thought just a regular reader question in a blog and it turned out to be an editor for the paper.

I  read a person verbally bash a friend for asking why they shut down their social sites. It was all in curiosity and that friend seemed to be a concerned. In return, the verbal bashing peon insulted the friend so that they may have had this person on their list that they "could count on" now kicked to the list, "I would never ask anything of this person ever again because well they are a complete selfish, way too into themselves....asshat."

We grow as adults. We learn, or at least I hope we all do along the way. You become valuable for the profession your in and your interests. You don't want to run a company anymore? Okay fine...but don't bitch out the world when they still thought and believe you have value.

People come to me and ask me questions from raising a large family, having special needs children, marriage issues, and of course the pharmacy sector. Why? Because it is what defines me. Feels good that people can ask me things. Whether they take the advice or not it really doesn't matter. They thought I was good enough to be asked. I would never belittle someone for asking a question. This whole world is based on teaching experience. You learn in your job, you of course learn while your a student.......why deny a lesson you could teach a friend? Shit..we are all teachers at some point.

Social websites take time and dedication. You want to go big and have high traffic then you have to put the word out....like everywhere. That shit costs money, yes....but if you think your worth it then quit your bitching and keep going. We have 18 year old millionaires because they had an idea and didn't give up on it. Some events happened for them by pure luck but there are still opportunities out there for the next big thing or we would never have the saying that there will be the next big thing. Things take time, resources, money, networking.......you could have the highest IQ in the world but if your an ass to anyone you kinda ruined your chances by building your brand.

We have the government now trying to weigh in on how we socially connect with others. This good old free country that is apparently full of "Free Speech" is being jeopardized yet again. I'm going to have to go back to writing in my diary with no one ever knowing my opinion which may be good for some but is that the world we want?I mean seriously....what the hell would you do with yourself if you couldn't have Facebook?

I'm sorry for the rant. I just became really discouraged by someone I once respected. I don't understand why they are choosing this path for themselves but its not up to me for what they chose to do. Its just sad when they have such a lot to offer not just to their close friends but eventually the right person in the world that will make them the big time hot shot they want to be someday....but apparently being a douchebag is the way they want to go so whatever.

Its just frustrating....Imagine walking into an Apple store and asking Steve Jobs (while he was still alive RIP) a question on one of the products he developed and him yelling at you saying, "I don't answer questions. If your not smart enough to use the product then your not worth owning it."

See where I'm annoyed?? Smart people can be the dumbest in the world.

Lemon drops and jobs

I'm getting yelled at for not blogging. I take it as a good sign?? lol I really miss writing. Been really busy and too tired to put sentences together. Plus the fact that I have to sit in my office versus lounging on my big comfy couch with the laptop has been putting a damper on things too. My laptop as taken a dive to well...not wanting to work. Its old anyways. Need to invest in a new one but my current budget isn't very friendly lately....plus I'm looking only at iMac's so it may be awhile to fit that in.

This month is a little rough but a nice fresh outlook to what lies ahead. I'm glad that 2011 is finally the past....just need to get through this month to officially have everything in the past. I can't help but wonder if a certain someone would even know what would have happened this month or not. I'm past the point of wanting it to matter let alone mean anything. Its a trial and tribulation of my life and I'm thankful the husband has done everything and anything to distract from it. Its just still a dark cloud and it sucks.

I've always been that type of person that can relate a moment and/or thought to a song, a date, or even a food. Lemon drops remind me of my first date with Joe. I had a mass supply of them in my purse for some reason and they spilled all over the floor with Joe laughing at me for having so many in my possession. Now, lemon drops bring me back to that day and the moment with vivid memory. In a way it doesn't make sense because I forget about something that happened fifteen minutes ago but remember events and people like a cheat sheet on the back of my hand. The reason I brought this up was just to relate to the fact of no matter how we want to move forward and forget what we did in the past, moments will slip in and hit you off guard and those feelings of pain or happiness will be there. At least that is the way it works for me.

Enough about all that now......here is an update of positiveness. Throughout my facebook I've shared numerous times of my job hunt. I do still have a job. A great job....which I love my job but its time to move forward. Plus it helps with a boost from the fact that our surgery count is so low that my hours are being cut like firewood ready to be thrown in a fire that is almost out. I've been telling headhunters that have been helping me find the right position to not just find me a job. They have to find something that will be something that I would like and it has to make sense for my career path. I've had tons of friends and colleagues tell me about positions that maybe hiring for but its almost an insult to take a job that would label me as taking two steps backwards. I don't want that and I definitely do not need that. Thank heavens the pharmacy sales job interviews are coming my way. I'm super excited about them and its definitely the direction I want to take. People keep telling me that its a hard job to even manage and to look at something else. Honestly....shut the fuck up. Plain and simple. Just because you know someone that maybe a rep, doesn't mean you know the business let alone how I will handle it. Pharmaceuticals has been my life and I've been building a portfolio over the years of connections because I knew my career would eventually take me to this point. I just wish people would just support me instead of saying something negative about what I chose to do. That goes with everything too. Some people think that the military is out of the question for me. Keep thinking that. I'm just done talking about it because well everyone I pretty much have shared my joy and passion of it doesn't support it so they are just counted as another person that won't know when that happens for me. It is what it is and they made it that way.

So that is a little bit of what has been going on lately. Next blog will be filled of some pictures and the story of Joe's and mine hunting trip we took over the weekend. We had fun.

Until next time....... xoxo
