I hate passionately that my family needs to spread more gossip than TMZ. I can't talk about ANYTHING without everyone knowing, even if I specifically ask. Like when I began a job in a pet store but the manager told me not to come back on the second day because she thought I was lying about my back problems. I was so humiliated because on the first day I went to my grandparents house after work erratically excited about how great the job was because everyone was so friendly, only to come back the next day in tears because I was accused of lying and lost the job. I told my grandmother straight out not to talk about it to anyone, then lo and behold, next time there is a family party, people know all about it.
It INFURIATES me. I get that families inform others of stuff that's happening, but when I specifically ask not to talk about certain things, I mean it! The other day my grandmother was talking to a friend on the phone, and she started talking about my life while I'm sitting right there. I told her not to talk about me afterwards but she won't listen. I don't need everyone to know when I fail at something, when I'm unemployed and living all alone. Hence the reason I've decided not to even mention this assistant manager job I've been offered. They'll just tell everyone about it, then if it all goes wrong and I lose the job they'll tell everyone about that too. Even if they tell me they won't.
