The Two-Ton Chip

One of the things that drives me crazy in this day and age, is people's ability to be completely comfortable with their own lack of professionalism. Don't get me wrong, I know everybody gets frustrated and tired while at work. And there is a such thing as working smarter, not harder.  However, there is a difference between working smarter and not working at all. I remember telling you guys some time last week that I had an unfortunate encounter with a lady in my management office. Well today, I called them, simply to make sure the loose ends that I tied up were double knotted, and she sent my call to voicemail. Twice. Little did she know, my management friend Kris was waiting for my call. He realized she chose to ignore them, as a result he came all the way to my house, apologized for the inconvenience and asked me to sign some papers. He went on to make excuses for her, saying how "crazy" things were in the office, and how is hard to keep track blah blah blah. I now understand exactly what was happening in from of me,  he knows how disrespectful she is , it's just not much he can do about it. He is too busy doing his job properly to even care. I can't even begin to comprehend why she's still working there  if it CLEARLY makes her a miserable shrew to sit there all day.  Seriously, if you hate your job so much that you have to be rude to a woman you don't even know to make yourself feel better, please PLEASE quit. I didn't ask her to be apart of management of the development that I happen to live in. I've done nothing but respect and be polite with her since I moved here. Nonetheless shes shitty and she's okay with it. Apparently everybody else is too if they're continuously making excuses for her. It is perfectly fine if you're content in the hell that is doing something strictly for pay purposes, completely devoid of joy. If that truth does indeed apply to you or your situation, you have no one to blame but yourself. It is never okay to just be a jerk to someone who has nothing to do with the reason why the constant chip being carried around his wing heavily down on your shoulder. Some people really need to get it together. Whatever happened to doing your job with some damn decency?!
