Why oh why do people have to be so very petty? How do they become so self absorbed? Why does everything have to be about THEM?
I don't get it. Today something happened at work. Well, actually it happened yesterday. Silly, no big deal. But some folks got called in on it.
So, instead of just taking their lumps and moving on - they blame ME. The only person that DIDN'T participate. Heaven forbid they take responsibility for their own actions. They are ABOVE that sort of thing.
So....as it turns out - I got in trouble. No big deal - that seems to happen a lot in this position. I just keep doing my best and let the cards fall where they may.
But I'm just so disappointed. Really. I am.

Good Cigar. Glass of bourbon.
Then think of a quiet happy place. With lush green grass, and tree's blowing in the gentle breeze.
A nice cheerful babbling brrok running thru the middle of it all.
And if you look really hard...you can just make out the face of the person whose head your holding under the water......
You mean you're getting blamed for Hurricane Katrina, too?

Posted by: Contagion at September 2, 2005 06:40 AMTammi. I truly understand I really do. One reason I have not blogged much lately is my job is so bad lately and I hate texas so much. There is always someone who gets the blame for everything and usually it's who desevres it the least. But you have so many friends on line and that visit you you do have people who care.
