Sometimes that helps. Sometimes I just feel taken advantage of.

And I try to view it as my fulfilling some sort of need - I'm a pretty good listener. Sometimes I've just had enough, though.

Sometimes circumstances necessitate a great big venting. Sometimes things are truly unbearable and must be talked through. My objection is more to the "way of life" kind of toxic waste - a viewpoint that is unfailingly negative, always finds something or someone to complain about, etc.TangledLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771682524596744447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-47638879666516730332012-02-17T17:23:39.979-08:002012-02-17T17:23:39.979-08:00Perhaps I will print some up and sell them to feed...Perhaps I will print some up and sell them to feed a starving writer.TangledLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771682524596744447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-31594849850493589162012-02-17T17:23:13.674-08:002012-02-17T17:23:13.674-08:00Sadly, that Hazmat suit is well-worn at this point...Sadly, that Hazmat suit is well-worn at this point.

I am thinking that it means unfiltered outbursts? More info, please?<br />But then suddenly I get it - or at least I get my version of it - there were several parents at work this week who spewed toxic waste into the office - and left me ill in their wake. They left me feeling like I wanted to leave my job b/c I couldn't stand their entitled attitude and /or their willingness to do the hard work of parenting. I get it.

But the more I though about it the more I realized that much of my toxic waste has been dumped on me by me. Gotta work on that.<br />It also left me wondering who ever are you talking about and whatever did they do to stir up such an emotional response?lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-14645041278619312002012-02-17T00:09:38.342-08:002012-02-17T00:09:38.342-08:00Wow!
