Do You Wish You Can Say what You are Thinking

Someone just asked how I was.. and I was politically correct and said: Good .....

I wanted to say:

Super -considering I am in Minnesota, Hate my job and cant get a new one to save my life.

Thanks for letting me vent.. I needed an outlet.

If I said what I was actually thinking - I'd have many, many enemies.

Same for me, and I wouldn't be getting the raise I so want/deserve!

Me too! Sometimes I have to use all my strength to bite my tongue. Once I get started, it isn't pretty.

Re: Do You Wish You Can Say what You are Thinking

The 'Good' response is just like a knee-jerk reaction. Sometimes I say 'Good' and then think to myself, 'yea good, considering I deteste being here, things are great'.

It's saying what I've actually been thinking that's given me the reputation for being 'defiant'. God forbid me for thinking independently and not following the crowd just bc 'that's the way we always do it'.

Doesn't mean it's right or makes any sense, dumb@sses!!!!!!!!! Learn to think for yourselves and maybe we can actually make some changes around here instead of just b!tching about everything!!!!!

I'd be banned from speaking at all if I truly spoke from the heart!

I have a tongue biting reflex. I can't do it. I get people around me in trouble all the time...
But rarely myself.
That's what happens when you don't value your job.

true that! And as I traveled through the world I would leave a trail of pissed off people. Actually if the other drivers could hear me raging (ie if I opened the window), I would surely be dead by now

Re: Do You Wish You Can Say what You are Thinking

I used to say whatever was on my mind and it would get me in a lot of trouble, so i have since curbed my urges big time.

But every so often the words do escape my mouth, like last night when some drunken idiot was yelling across the pool hall and I told him to STFU.

Same for me except i am in BF South Carolina.
I hate having a masters degree and being stuck in a dead end job.

And then people would tell me to find another job..........yeah, well 'ITS NOT THAT EASY!!!'
