My dad brought me up to be honest, and the more I hear people lie the more it pisses me off. Now I know some people exaggerate about things and sometimes it is the small crap, but when you lie to someone or you are exaggerating something that is important or can really hurt another person or your company – then I think it is completely inappropriate and inexcusable. Today, it has been a day of lies. I go to read this article, and it says our company has 70 people in the corporate office – NO we have 35, but we do the work of 70. Then I over hear a woman I work with get lied to, right to her face, and I can tell she is seeing right through the lies. HELLO! If you don’t have good news, just say – don’t try to BS your way around it. I would rather get the flat out truth then someone try to lie to make me feel better. I am sooo sick of it. If someone calls me and I am not ready for the conversation, I don’t say I am on my way into a meeting, I ask if I can call them back in such and such a time when I am prepared to give them the answers they are looking for. I don’t BS people and I don’t want them to BS me. I, flat out, don’t like liars – and that is what I have been working with today. If you don’t want me to trust you – lie to me – then I will never trust you, and I will have to verify everything you tell me. Plus, you will never be a friend – always an acquaintance.
One more thing - if mike calls me and hangs up one more time, I am driving to his work and we will have a talk – I AM SICK OF IT – call me if you want to say hi, not to hang up.

Kelly, I have a confession. I have lied to you. You once asked me what was going on between Adam and I, and I said nothing. Not true. We were having a passionate love affair while you two were... yes... dating. But I have to say, he honestly did like me better. Sorry to break the news. ~Julie
Should I go beat up Mike?
ummmmmm......dont know quite what to say about the rash of truthfulness right now.
JULIE I LOVE YOU!!!!! You crack me up. Thank you. I needed a good smile.
As for what you did to me, made passionate love to my, now, husband - how could you do that to me?? Good thing I didn't invite you to the wedding. And I thought we were friends.
KYLE - no you do not have to beat mike up - you like him, remember!
Mike is hanging up on you? Now, in all honesty Kelly, it was me. ..... All 153 times. Forgive me?
I do have a confession. When I was a kid I captured a frog from a little creek and got my BB gun out and shot it about 10-15 times. Does that make me crazy or give me homicidal tendencies? I also used to shoot a lot of birds and dismember squirrels. But I recycle, so I'm good.
Also, when I was even younger I used to hang out with my friend Brook and we would just hug each other for a long time. I then told my friends that we had sex. Does that constitute as a lie? I REALLY thought thats what sex was.
Damn, I sound crazy...
Sean, you crack me up!!! That poor frog, and the squirrels and birds! Christine - you married this guy!
Thanks for telling me about the phone calls though - that means a lot to me!
