Betzaido: A Short Story

Improved Essays
Luis,
For some reason you feel that you know absolutely everything that is on my mind. I have told you in the past that when I am serious (of which I’ve always been when I am working) it’s either because I’m concentrating on my job or I have too many things on my mind. Since you feel that you can read my mind, therefore, I have an attitude now. Has it occurred to you to ask me exactly what’s wrong, instead of accusing me of having an attitude? You really believe that you are the ONLY one that has problems. To top it all Betzaida shows up at the office to just barge in grab God knows what and then she leaves. Well, I guess your “adorada tormentita” has won at her game. Everything makes perfect sense, on how she handled everything from the

Either way…I do not want to be a part of this. You are wanting for me to accept her behavior that makes me feel uncomfortable with her negative vibes (as you call it). By the way, I suggest you read and learn about coping with grieving and bereavement, as well as PTSD. There is nothing worse than someone suffering from both at the same time. You have made fun of my startling actions (PTSD) and I have mentioned it. You have not taken me seriously in anything I have told you or done. This soon shall pass for me and I know that I will be successful in overcoming all of this and grow in the RE …show more content…
Doctor wants to see if I may possibly have Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis or some kind of immune disorder/disease…Like I need this now!
• Foreclosure court date is this Monday, June 29th. I still don’t know where I am moving to.
• My brother still drinks (I hate liquor!) and comes home super late, which makes me go to work tired, as I had not slept well.
• I drive an old van with problems, now I need to get the right gasket (one I ordered was not correct) so that my oil pan could be changed. This was supposed to be done last year, and every day I pray nothing happens to me in road. Thank God I have a good friend mechanic that will do it for me for a small amount.
But since, you think you are a psychologist and knows everything, and you believe that you are the only one that has the worse problems, you have the audacity to think you know it all…you don’t. Now your “adorable tormentita” could get herself back in the office and work alongside of you, taking care of her man. She was planning this since you way back I started working with you. God knows what she’s been telling you about me, or telling your ex, so now everything has worked in her
