Frustrated

That's pretty much sums it up. I'm frrrrrrrrustrated!

Have you ever done something purely out of the goodness of your heart, with all the best intentions... and have your efforts go unappreciated, and the kindness of your gesture go unnoticed? Worse... ever done all that, and not just be unappreciated and unnoticed, but get CRITICIZED for even trying to do the right and good thing???

Unfortunately, today isn't the first time this has happened. It's hard, after making an earnest effort, to be consistently unseen -- especially when it's only in this one context in my life, with this one person, with whom I can just never seem to "get it right" no matter how hard I try. I really don't think it's me; I think it's a wavelength thing. As in, we're on two completely different ones. Aargh!

Thank goodness it's a quasi-professional association, and not someone in my personal life. That would be untenable.

Anyway... just needed to vent a little... feel much better now...
