I am NOT perfect

I am not perfect.  I have many imperfections.  I am well aware of this.  I do not want to be perfect.

I do give my best, most of the time.  I help where I needed, most of the time.

There is never any need to make up lies about what I'm doing or not doing.

Obviously I had a very bad day today.  The only reason I'm putting this out here is that I only have 1 co-worker that will ever see this.

We have 2 people at work, normally I would call them ladies but today their behavior was not lady-like at all, who I will call the "tattletales".  Now I thought the only tattletale I had to deal with these days was my daughter, who is the appropriate age for such behavior.  I had no idea I would be dealing with women in their 50s.

I guess is what makes me above the tattle-telling......  I have a life outside of the office that is far more interesting than what goes on in the office.  I'm too busy with my own stuff to keep track of everyone else.  It's that simple!

If you want to say that I'm slow at a task, that might be true by your standards, but I'm doing it to the best of my ability.  The problem I see is when you think everyone else is slow at the same task.  Is the problem everyone in the office or is the problem your expectations?

If you want to say that I'm occasionally on the internet at work, this is true, but do you know specifically why I'm on the internet.  I have been told to try to see if a party to the lawsuit we just got in has a Facebook page and if they were silly enough to make it public.  I've actually gleaned a lot of good information for the firm this way.  So maybe you should just mind your own business.

If you want to say that I'm sarcastic, that true and I don't have much more to say about that, except to remember that I say sarcastic things and not to take those statements at face value.  When I'm swamped and I say, "Let's see how much I can not get done today," that is code for I bet I can get any one task completely finished and maybe just parts of many.

Do not say that I refuse to do my work.  If I refuse to do my work, then who does it?  That's just hurtful when you get me called into a meeting about this nonsense.

Do not say that I refuse to help others.  When was the last time you asked me to do something?  It was probably today and I did what you asked.  That's just hurtful when you get me called into a meeting about this nonsense that last over an hour.  I had better things to with my time, like do my work.

So.... if I was slower than normal this afternoon, it was because I had a horrific headache from having to defend myself against all your lies.

Sorry - had to vent since I was told that self disclosure is an anger buster.  Maybe I won't be so angry about this now.  Thanks for listening.
