First Amendment to the United States Constitution, regarding freedom of speech, freedom of the press, religious freedom, freedom of assembly, and right to petition. Also used to describe related legal cases and issues (e.g. “first amendment argument”).
Warning: This is a vent.
I’ve always thought of myself as a friendly person at times, sometimes humorous. Apparently, I was given a lesson today.
I learned that sometimes people cannot or do not want to “take” a joke. I don’t take myself seriously. If I did, I would have been fired by now. Or just walked out.
The past few months have been traumatizing for me. I lost my promotion, friendship, self esteem.
You know what got me through? A sense of humor. I couldn’t tell you how many days, hours, nights I spent depressed, seeped into a mindless labyrinth of rumination.
My mind was warped and couldn’t understand and accept my reality. The waiting game turned into the reappearing/disappearance game.

Back to my issue, my lesson here is not everyone can take “jokes.” She thought I made jokes at her suspense. She’s thinking I have the “1st Amendment right.”
Everyone that knows me thinks of me as the most kindness, generous person. (Who sometimes crack jokes.) But no anymore I won’t. Not at the expense of being reported to HR..
From now on, I’ll make jokes here to my friends..
