I’m not a thinker. I’m a worker bee. This isn’t modesty, I just know myself very well in this regard. I do have to ‘think” on my job, but I dont’ give a damn about the big picture and I don’t enjoy chit-chatting about the future. My role, thank goodness, is focusing on the small picture. Give me some comma’s to change, colors to adjust, files to organize and I’m a happy camper.
One of the things I hate about meetings is that people lie, lie, lie. They love hearing themselves make promises they know they won’t keep. Blah, blah, blah.
I just want to do my work that I enjoy doing so much.
I’m surprised they still invite me to these meetings as grumpy as I get.
Years ago I lost it in a meeting and called someone a liar. He was lying and was lying on me. They stopped inviting me to meetings for a few years  and that one move stopped me from getting into a management position (shrug). I can’t lose it in these meetings without getting into a lot of trouble and possibly fired. Too bad. |
I made it through those meetings without losing my cool. Well, I lost if for a second, but I professional about it and she was giving me guff (she’s abrasive in the best of circumstances).
And it wasn’t one move that stopped me from getting into management, but calling someone a liar was the
final move that sealed that deal.
I’m worn out from those meetings. I took off from work today and am having a 3-day weekend.
