It always saddens me that people tell us to be kind and thoughtfull and all that crap, but it is the mean bastard that gets ahead in life.
I remember that EVERY time (except once) that I have ever went to people about something, it backfired badly.
The ONE time it went well, was actually because I actually bluntly threatened to do physical violence if the situation was not resolved.
Isent that sad?
I also noticed that playing nice at work, gets you a pat on the back. But, it never gets you promoted... 13 letters of commendation in 4 years, but it was always people that I trained, that got the promotions...
pretty sad that the VAST majority of society will only function if you lie, cheat, steal etc.
at various times i've told the exact 100% truth to various people in the 'system' and gotten seriously shafted. insurance agents, doctors, judges, my supervisor, my congressman, my mother, my wife ......sad isnt it ?
This has nothing to do with your post but can you send me your address so I can send you your Yule gift? One of these days I'll have to sit down and tell you how I am presently fucking up my life..lol.

You have people skills even if they weren't really utilized at work before. You have also learned something about how your current job works. If you want to go back to the shipping dock where you can impress the noobs with your jedi mind tricks, you certainly can, but you have the abilities to do these things which are out of your currrent work box that will allow you to stretch and sort some of this out.
Wow. Nothing like coworkers, eh?cyberkhuntiDecember 19 2007, 18:54:39 UTC
Oh how I envy your coworker sociopolitico intrigue. If I ever do get a job outside the house, before I finish school and truly never leave the house again, I'm going to feel like an escaped mental patient.
