Serious, and honest question.
I personally would be killed roughly the second or third time I opened my mouth, because I have a cruel, sadistic, and sarcastic mindset, but I'm curious about how OTHERS would cope with being forced to be brutally honest, about anything, and everything.
It sounds fascinating. :P

I can live in it forever if people could be brave enough to tell the truth. If lying, be it white lies, means to be polite yet mislead other people then I don't want to be polite. Like you I am brutally honest, sarcastic and very outspoken but only with people who dare to ask my opinion or those who dare to listen to the facts. On the other hand, not because what I said is a fact doesn't mean it's the only truth. People who are overly sensitive shall not ask people like me questions if they don't want to hear straight answers and call us provocative or insensitive. Honestly, I like a place where people's confidence does not easily shatters just because someone made an honest comment.

Okay. Go and read your question out loud to yourself. Think of it as what you might be reading, from someone else. Hear any theme? Now, make a list of all the positive things about this place.... Frisians. How about negatives? Crawly house. Nasty sounding even without the bugs. No consideration from the employer about you sleeping in your car. I suspect the health department wouldn't like knowing that people are being kept in an infested house. Working a very long day without better supervision and training than the other girl. Working with dangerous horses. Working with dangerous horses without a trainer to supervise, direct, and assist you or the horses. Who fed you dinner, by the way. If this was my situation, I'd leave. If you were my daughter, I'd help you leave. This is not a professional situation. This is not even palatable. If you put this on your resume, what are you going to say? You can't say you learned about training, handling, breeding, etc., since there isn't a qualified trainer to mentor you. It's a pointless waste of time. If the employer said it wasn't going to work out, he probably saw in your eyes and demeanor that you aren't a person who will tolerate the conditions at his place. He was right. And fortunately you are outta there. It's not NOT N--O--T anything to regret. The fact that he "let you go," might sting a little. It's nothing you did wrong. You said you don't like sleeping with bugs. Well, duh. Who the heck does? I'll bet he doesn't have those critters in his bedroom! You are going to find another situation. Check on the Fresian website (or any other breed website), and check the breeders or classifieds. Send emails and network the heck out of this... say what you are looking for, and ask if they are seeking such a person, or if they can possibly refer you to someone they might know. The horse world is a small one, and the internet makes it even smaller. You are correct in not repeating the name of the farm you had the problem with. Keep yourself professional, and find something else. Never never never settle for something that isn't appropriate. You know what is, and you need to always follow your heart and "gut instincts." Don't sell yourself short. Ever. You have done the right thing, in moving on. Now, keep going, and find that perfect place! I know you can!

I guess that you wouldnt know any different. There would be a different set of manners. Maybe all the cruel sadistic people would be killed, that would leave the honestly nice ones only.

The human race would cease to exist. Hasn't a woman ever asked you if the dress she's trying on makes her look fat? The honest answer is "No dear, it's your fat that makes you look fat." Hard to go home and make babies after brutal honesty like that.

Then, I shall too, be honest. In fact, I should be honest even now. I agree with ishsheruni.

I'd be killed the second that rule was put into affect.
