Hmmm…. So what has been new in my life?
I FINALLY had a breather at work. I finally had weekends where I could sleep. Of course, it was achieved at a price. I finally blew up at the boss.
Why did I do it? Because I could, and because I decided to mirror his actions that I found offensive, albeit in an unexpected way.
Sighz…. People who dish out at others can’t take their own medicine, and I certainly don’t want to point it out too blatantly.
Of course, it was very childish of me. I had thought I had tamed that unpredictable streak of vindictiveness. Apparently not. Stress + lack of sleep + unreasonable demands + people not keeping their word = release of my wicked doppelganger. MAJOR SIGHS…
And I feel a bit guilty about thinking that well, the shock to the system was well deserved… and I feel guilty about NOT feeling guilty. *gasp* God help me tame this vindictive streak of mine. I scare myself sometimes at my potential for evil. I apologized for the action to the boss of course, I have no excuse, but he got my message that I am not budging on the unreasonable timelines and “arrows” thrown at me in public. What, do I look like a doormat to you?
Of course the same unpredictable streak is also responsible for my bursts of unexpected genius. Whether or not it was acknowledged, I dunno. But I am fully aware that I have saved some arses at work.
My friends ask whether or not I fear for my job… Surprisingly, no. While my actions were childish, they were justified and far more effective than a simple feedback. My OB markers at work have been carved into the hippocampus of my boss.
It helps that money isn’t all that important to me… *gasp!* Could that be true?
Surprisingly yes!!!!! All the years of meticulous planning and saving on my part have given me a safety net.
Go figure. this isn't like me.
