Reality Check
2005-03-30, 11:49 a.m.

Okay I'm calling for a reality check here. I want completely honest opinions to the following scenario:

Here we have Seeking and Eagle. Together for a year. In one corner we have Eagle who does not have a job outside of the home. She does the cooking, cleaning, lunch making, laundry, etc. She tends to get up around 10:00 a.m. most days, reads the paper for an hour or so, then begins her day.

In the other corner we have Seeking. She has held the same job for 14 years. She gets up every day at 6:00 a.m., showers, gets ready goes to work, puts in an 8.5 hour day and returns home around 6:00 p.m.

Now lets say that Eagle has a hankering for a breakfast sandwich from Burger King. Seeing that Burger King only serves breakfast until 10:00 a.m. it is difficult to get said sandwich. So Eagle suggests that Seeking get up 15 minutes earlier one morning and go to Burger King to get said sandwich for Eagle. She is to then take the sandwich to work with her, and then bring it home for Eagle in the evening. Seeking refuses. She does not see how Eagle could even suggest such a thing. If Eagle wants a sandwich that bad, she can get her own butt up earlier and get Burger King! Eagle says that Seeking has hurt her feelings and proceeds to write seeking an email about this. Then she tells Seeking that it doesn't matter she just needed to vent. Seeking says, that's fine, but when does she get to vent? And so begins another dumb argument from the files of Seeking and Eagle two women from two very different planets!

So tell me oh wise readers what is your opinion on said scenario as Seeking is requesting a reality check.....for the record Seeking DID sincerely apology to Eagle for hurting her feelings.

Just leave your comments in the notes section and please be kind....:)
