Time Will Tell

Wow, It's October 1st! I cannot even believe that the year has flown by so quickly. We are so close to Christmas. Time is truly my enemy. There is just not enough of it. You can't buy more, you can't even beg for more. You simply get what you get and hope that in the end it was enough. Enough to accomplish all you set out to do.
Today at work we had a little problem. We have two woman who cannot seem to get along. I have become friends with one of them. I understand both of their points of view to a degree. I refuse to get involved. But I do understand. One of them lacks empathy. She does not see that her attitude and behaviors predict the attitudes and behaviours of the other. HOnestly it blows my mind that someone can get to be 50 something. And have no idea how to treat another human being with respect. We don't all have to like each other. Some people just arent meant to be friends. But I believe that we are all obligated to give each other a chance. Because what you may perceive in one moment could be totally oppostite in another. I just can't understand it. I want so badly to take them both aside and force them to sit down and explain to them what I think they need to do to rectify the situation. But who am I? All I can do is stay unbiased and understand my friends feelings and give her the best advice I can with out stirring up more anger. I am torn because on one hand my support may be perceived as adding fuel to the fire, but on the other hand I don't want her to think that I don't understand or care how she is feeling. I guess i'll just let time tell the story and hope that they work it out. It's such a small office and it's a shame that this is going on.
But like I said, "time will tell".
