What I liked best was how they never seemed jealous of each other

or resentful or catty.

I’m really glad. Cuz I’ve been in situations where I was one of two girls in the group - in this case a newly assembled team of FM anchors for a news network aimed at rock stations. I’d never had a chance to work with the other woman. She and I were always on competing radio stations in the same market. I felt no hostility or jealousy or resent my toward her. For Pete’s sake, WHY???

I assumed we were on friendly terms. But she evidently harbored resentment toward me. It later came to full flower when we were both hired for this new young adult network. She immediately hated me! And what did I ever do to her? Besides exist? And, I suppose, get in her way, even though we had different shifts and I never wanted to be in ANYBODY’S way in the first place! Certainly never tried to get in anybody’s way.

When I was still working I learned a boatload about the downside of being successful. The higher you climb, the more people there are at levels below you, resenting what you achieved and presuming that the job you worked so hard to earn should be theirs instead. And they’d wind up shooting at you (figuratively speaking) to get you out of their way.

EXCELLENT!!!

The future for us Dems - is these three! I like ‘em all!

Dupe. My apologies.

But I’m STILL there with ya, Coventina.

I know how you feel, Coventina.

I’m right there with ya.

Is Mother Nature doing some of the housecleaning for the rest of us?

Yep. Slamming 'em (facts).

And damning ‘em! (Lazy and factually-negligent or just plain biased media coverage.)

OH NOOOO!!!!!!!!

OMG! What a loss!!!

She was so talented and versatile, as a singer/songwriter/musician. Stevie Nicks was flashier, but Christine McVie had the biggest talent.

DAMN.

...forever and ever, amen!

Hope they do more than just "considering".

Thank you!

Great quote!

I may use it this coming week!
