Monday's Child is Fair of Face...

Let's face it. Life sucks sometimes. It's hard being an adult. It's even harder acting like one.

Here's a few things I'd like to say to my coworkers...

Ok. There are a lot of things I'd like to say, but let's keep it short. There isn't a single one of us in here, that really likes being disliked. Probably me less than any. But there's also not a single one of us in here, who hasn't managed to say something pretty nasty about every other person in here at one time or another. Everyone walks around, playing both sides of the fence, and acting like children. It's been said before. Why do we all do this? What's the purpose? To make ourselves feel better about ourselves? Does it really? I always feel very guilty.

Secondly, I want one thing stated...I don't work here for you. I work here for ME. I work for a paycheck. And so do each and every person in this office. I'm not here to make you happy. I'm not here to work as fast as Rob. Or do as much as Ralph. I don't care if you all load every machine every single day. And I don't care that I don't do things as fast as you want me to. I do my best. Every day. And in the end, I'm the only one who knows that. At the end of the day, *I* have to live with the job I've done. And I don't particularly care if you're happy with it or not. I don't care if you, or Bettie, or anyone else is satisfied with the job I've done. Because I know I've given my best. And I'm tired of being made to feel like I'm not good enough.

Thirdly. Every person in here, has complained about people missing work. We ALL have. Why? What difference does it make? Because we have to work hard when everyone's not here? So what? At some point, in the near future, everyone will be back. I think we can all afford to work hard a few days sometimes. People are allowed to miss work. People are allowed to be sick. Jenna is gone because she's sick. Whether it's self inflicted or not, she IS sick. Doctors don't continually write notes if you're not. But you know something I've noticed? When she IS here, and she's keeping her mouth shut...everyone finds someone else to gripe about. We're never EVER satisfied. Why is that? I have no idea. But it seems pretty stupid to me.

I'm sure I have more to say...I darn sure did in the shower just now! haha I get so weary of working with a bunch of children. These people are almost all older than me too! But they're never happy with ANYTHING. I get tired of it. Wouldn't you?
