If you were a fragrance, I'd call you "trash"

Today I was (yet again) reminded of the lack of moral standards in our world. It seems no matter much I try to impart to people that I'm direct, so I'd like you to be direct with me in return, they just don't get it. I'm just asking you to give me what I give you. Often the truth isn't pretty or nice, but really is a lie any nicer??? Why prolong the inevitable??? Makes absolutely no sense if you ask me.

Over the last few weeks I've been put in a situation of working with someone whom I (on a personal level) dislike and have no respect for. I don't trust her, never have, and certainly never will. I practically smell her pretentiousness enter the room before her; she reeks of all things fake & conniving -a serpent lurking in the marsh waiting...watching, preparing to attack when your back is turned. Now the fact that I don't like or respect her doesn't necessarily mean I can't work with her. I have worked with people I don't like before. I am just plagued by this persons lack of character and professionalism. Even if you're the biggest whore in all the land I can still have some sort of respect for you, if you know how to maintain yourself in a professional setting. OK, I am starting to 'wander' and 'rant', but you get my point.

Long story short, this person has recently made comments about my 'inefficiency' while at work. (Please forgive my ability to multi-task ma'am.) It's not her comments that have angered me, but the fact that they were made in the work place, while I wasn't present. Being me of course I decide to call her out on this after being made aware of the situation. Silly me to think we could handle this like adults. You all know the ending to this story. She tells me that I "do a wonderful job" and she has "no problem" with the way in which I do things. I'm not sure which side of her personality pisses me off more: the feign 'caring' professional or the pathetic cowardly loser???

The moral of the story is to shut the hell up unless you're willing to be direct and honest. Tomorrow I will feel better, because I am now fully convinced that this person is nothing more than an incompetent fictitious sap!

Ahh, I feel better already...just had to get on a tangent with my 'rant' :)
