The Key to Success
Guess what! There isn't one. There are actions, consequences, blind ass luck and poor draws from the deck of life. I think I've experienced them all this week in glorious technicolor. But I can't say that I haven't learned something from it.
And there they are:
Going the Distance:
When I go the extra mile for someone, 5000 yards will simply not do. I need to finish up the last 280 feet. In fact I need to make it 300 for good measure. Because some people are petty malcontents and will bring out their yardsticks to measure every single inch. And if I'm short even in the slightest of that extra distance, (you know, that distance you didn't really have to go for them), they'll let your manager know just how unhappy about it they are. Who will then, in turn, leave me alone with no feedback or closure to the matter. In my time of need.
What Happens in Vegas:
And by Vegas I mean work. And by work I mean stupidity. And by stupidity I mean petty malcontents. And it should stay there. Where it belongs. So other people don't have to deal with it as well.
Happy & Screwed or Pissed & Screwed:
Those are my choices today. I really need to choose wisely here.

You know, sometimes being screwed is just what you want to have happen.
I'm gonna go with prolly not by who's doing the screwing, in your case but still.
Ever tried for Happy & pissed & screwed?
Yep. Usually it bakes up a really dense cake bitterness which I end up topping with a thick rich layer of sarcasm.
As long as you don't take the dense bitter cake home with you and you aren't being fired, then it is usually all bareable.
And by bareable, I mean you still get paid which is the only real reason any of us peeons work anyway.

i vote pissed.
righteous indignation is way hott.
It is bareable Kate. You're right. And I am horribly addicted to my paycheck. And benefits. And work schedule.
I have this problem Miss Kendra. Usually it's pretty likely that when I work up a good bout of righteous indignation someone is able to strip away the righteousness (those bastards) and all I'm left with is the indignation. Which leaves me looking rather foolish.
Not that it's anything new for me. Looking foolish that is.
