I HATE double standards. In this particular instance, i'm infuriated, because it effects something that is very important to me. You see, there's something that i've always been told that i'm not allowed to do. However, someone else who's in the same situation as me has just been told that it's ok for them to do it. Exact same situation, but i've always been told no and he's been told yes. You see, he never got the lectures about how it wasn't ok. So he went ahead, told some people, had some conversations and got the go ahead. I, however, was always under the impression that there would be serious repercussions should i press ahead. Therefore, there was no going ahead, telling some people, having conversations... due to the fear of the serious repercussions.
I'm rather incensed at this moment. To think of all the trouble that it's caused me, as i've tried to avoid these serious repercussions... where as this other guy, who's avoided all of the lectures in the past, just gets to do things as he likes.
Now, i'm not saying that people have purposely decided to disadvantage me. But that's the way it's turned out, due to the fact that people always seem to have double standards when it comes to me and expect me to hold myself to a higher standard. Tomorrow, some heads will roll. Well, i'm not really a hugely violent person... so it's less likely that heads will roll and more likely that conversations will be had. I damn well better get my point across, because this is 100% not ok with me and i don't want it to be one of those times that my message gets lost in translation.
Hopefully all goes well and by tomorrow night my life will be a hell of a lot easier. Of course, my life never goes that smoothly, so we'll just have to wait and see... wish me luck.
