[System] apprehensive: I'm waiting to hear back on whether or not I got the loan approved. I'm running in circles all bent out of shape about it.

[User] I applied for a home loan and I'm waiting to hear back on it. The waiting is driving me up a wall.

[User] can't you place a call to them?

[User] I have. It's taking them extra long for some reason. All the scrutiny is making me run circles.

[User] I just think you should just be optimistic and patient

[User] I will try, thank you.


[System] trusting: There was recently a policy change at work that resulted in me getting extra money for my per diem.  I did nothing to earn or ask for it, God just blessed us.

[Assistant] Wow, policy recently changed at work, not due to anything I did, and they are now paying me extra money!

[Assistant] That's amazing! Congratulations. What was the policy that changed?

[Assistant] They changed how they pay per diem for long term stays.  They used to pay a percentage, but now they still pay the full amount.

[Assistant] Well that's great for you. Everybody loves a little extra money!

[Assistant] I know, praise God!


[System] disappointed: I asked one of my longest and best friends to be in my wedding. She agreed even though we live so far away. Suddenly she dropped off the face of the Earth and I haven't heard a word from her since.

[Assistant] I asked a friend I'd had for a very long time to be in my wedding. She agreed and then completely disappeared from my life.

[Assistant] I'm sorry that's rough.  Did you ever find out why?

[Assistant] No, I didn't. I even offered to pay for everything for her since she had to travel. I guess she wasn't as good of a friend as I thought.

[Assistant] I guess not, but I hope you still had (or will have if it hasn't happened yet) a great wedding!


[System] afraid: A man was following me home last night. I had to walk really fast to avoid him catching up.

[User] Understandable, when you put so much work into something only to be eclipsed by someone else. Not a good feeling.

[User] My father passed away over the winter and we are huge baseball fans. This is the first season not watching games with him.

[Assistant] Oh my goodness that is so sad, I am sorry to hear about your father. Are you handling him being gone okay?

[User] I am but baseball has kind of thrown it out of sorts. We really enjoyed going to games together when I was growing up.

[Assistant] I understand completely. I hope that you can enjoy going to more games, and carry on his spirit when you go.

[User] I always try. Thank you for lending an ear.

[Assistant] Always!

[Assistant] I think it's so weird that cats do that. It's like they are bringing us trophies or something!

[Assistant] I know! He does it all the time. I'm glad he's catching mice, but I don't need to see the bodies!

[Assistant] Yeah I would be a little horrified too if my cat did that! I'm dying of laughter thinking about your situation.

[User] I saw my boyfriend speaking to his ex girlfriend at the store. The way she looked at him made me so mad.

[Assistant] Oh man, I would have been really frustrated. Does she know he is dating you now?

[User] Of course, our town is so small. However, I could be letting my imagination get in the way. Gosh, her smirk is what made it worse.

[Assistant] It's never fun to see your significant other around someone they used to date. At least he is with you now and I'm sure you have nothing to worry about!


[System] anxious: I had to go to the car dealer once to purchase a new vehicle. I always hate going there because I'm not good at haggling. I always feel like I'm going to get ripped off and it makes me nervous.

[Assistant] I had to go to the car dealer to buy a new vehicle several years ago. I always get so nervous when I have to talk to the dealers.

[User] I totally understand the anxiety. You never know if they are baiting you or actually giving you a good deal. Did you get a new car?

[Assistant] Exactly. I always end up feeling like I'm getting ripped off. I did end up forcing my husband, who is better at deals, to come with me and we got a Jeep!

[User] I'm so happy you were able to get a dependable vehicle. I always have someone come with me as well. It's nice to have a second pair of eyes.

[Assistant] I'm so sorry to hear about that, it must be awful. Do you have friends and family that you can talk to about this?

[Assistant] Thank you for your kindness. My brother is around to listen but he lives a very busy life so it's hard to find someone to turn to.

[Assistant] When my relatives have died, it helps me to remember the good times, and makes me smile instead of being sad


[System] caring: I had a friend that really took me to heart, I missed him.he was always there for me

[User] I had a friend that was always there for me, he took me as a sister, I missed him

[User] That is so sweet.  I really commend people who treat kids like their own, it's so important for a kid to grow up feeling like they have a lot of people in their corner.  I have a stepdaughter myself.

[Assistant] You know then how it feels to have a child that is not your own yet accept them and love them unconditionally. You're awesome!

[User] Yes, it's true in life too when you grow up, sometimes the best family has nothing to do with blood relations.

[User] My 5 year old stated Kindergarten last week. She was really nervous and a bit scared so when I went to leave her she cried and clung to me. Her teacher pulled her away but she had ahold of my shirt and ended up pulling it down and exposing my bra and chest.

[User] I ran yanked her hands off, said I love you, and ran for it! To make matters worse Kindergarteners meet in the cafeteria for breakfast and becuase it was the first day I was exposed to a bunch of 5 year olds and their parents. I was mortified even though I don't think many noticed because of all the choas and crying kids.

[User] Yeah hopefully all the hoopla over the first day distracted everyone. I am sorry that happened to you though.

[User] I bet it was, I'm glad you are doing better now.  Did they find the person driving the van? Did they even stop?

[Assistant] He did, it really wasn't anyone's fault in this situation. It was late at night, and snowing quite hard, so he just didn't see me. Luckily, I had insurance and I was out of the hospital in a few days.

[User] Wow, thats awesome you were only in for a few days.  I guess I haven't had an accident that bad before but I would have thought it would have been a longer time period.

[Assistant] yea i used to try and make small trades for profits but its stressful, could drive me to relapse on drinking!!! i think im oging to just double down on what i have and buy more i think it should shoot up again eventually!

[Assistant] That's a good idea. I think there is alot of promise there. good luck.

[System] joyful: My wife and I went swimming at a hot water beach in New Zealand. It was super fun.

[Assistant] When my wife and I went to New Zealand last year, we went swimming at a hot water beach. It was a really fun, interesting experience.

[Assistant] I've never heard of a hot water beach.  What's it caused by?

[Assistant] There are geothermal springs under the water at that particualr beach, and they slowly release hot water into the ocean. When the tide is high, the hot water is carried by the waves onto the shore, so you get this pleasantly warm water to swim in.

[Assistant] Was that the coolest thing that you did there?

[Assistant] It's really hard to pick the coolest thing we did there. New Zealand is an amazing place, and there was so much to do. I'd highly recommend going if you get the chance.

[Assistant] She has two cats, but they're both pretty shy. They've warmed up to me a bit, so that part is nice.
