Ah, well, learned a valuable lesson today. Never go out of your way to help someone because it will (and I mean will, not possibly) come back to bite you. Never mind last minute letters of reference written or newspaper articles proofread the night before they were due. Or offers to have a friend stay with you, or condolences given because a friend hooked up with a guy who turned out to be a thief and a drug addict. or critiques exchanged. Or suggestions of going to grad school-- even encouragement to go, attempts to find someone to be a reference for them. Right-- and then a slap in the face later.
So my New Year's resolution:
I'm not getting involved in any one sided friendships ever again. Not worth my time and frustration. I've got enough real friends to last me a lifetime.
