Sean’s Thoughts Pt. 2 on work

Sean’s Thoughts Pt. 2 on work
Current mood: contemplative

So here I go again with my thoughts on what’s bothering me and why I have been a funk the last week or so.

Today I’ll concern you and my friends with work. How can I say it nicely?

I can’t. It’s a Mongolian clusterfuck.

Sometimes I wonder how some people get to the position that they are in when they are so bloody incompetent. It bothers the piss out of me to watch intelligent people , boiled down to stupidity on the basis of just plain laziness.

You See, I try to encourage everyone around my workplace, I try to be a leader, but it’s tougher than hell to encourage when all you want to do everyday is come into your office and hide from the moronicy that is my office. I’ve never seen such petty bickering over absolutely nothing.

Where can I start?

Our Softball Coach who as our Sales Assistant is about useless. God I miss Emily, as moody as she was she was dammed competent. Give her a project Bam it was done. Give Sharon a project and 3 days later she might get started on it. She is so wrapped up with the company softball team that instead of playing for fun and drinking beer afterwards she is calling for PRACTICES and then we still get beat 28-7. (Yes folks that is a softball score)

There are times I just wish I could fit it better here at work. But now that I am in middle management I fit like a square peg in a round hole. You see the upper management doesn’t want to be too buddy buddy with me and the front line troops just think I am probing them for information for the upper management. It’s the perfect catch 22.

I Love my Job. I love the things I do. Maybe Jay is right saying that people management is my biggest weakness. I tend to disagree. I think Babysitting is my biggest weakness. I have no tolerance to sit and baby-sit 30 year old men and women and make sure that they do their job properly. Because one of our sales guys handing a production department a incorrectly filled Production order I get to hear more whining from production even though we can just MOVE ON!

It’s that damn simple. MOVE ON!

Maybe it’s time for me to move on to my newest assignment…. Assignment Anywhere. The problem is, the devil I know here is better than the devil (out there) that I don’t.

So there you have it. Another steam blowing from the contents under pressure known as me.

I’m trying to get all my feelings out so I can show my friends and those I love I do know how to communicate.

I’m trying!
