The war at the office
It’d be a perfect lie to say I am totally satisfied with my lines of work and the office settings I live in and what not. Those are not the things I am about to put into this entry, however, but I will rather tell you about the war I have to fight every single day at one of the offices.
You see, there’s this person I work with that I do not quite get. I do not understand his motives and his behaviour, and I always seem to fail to comprehend his malice when, as a consequence, I pay the price.
I perfectly understand competition, and I am quite a competitive little person myself - ask anyone, but this sort of twisted scheming I am not used to. It shocked me time and again how this person stabbed me in the back, for no obvious reason but to hinder what progress I would be making.
Then I could not tolerate it any longer.
I am not loud. I think being loud is such a vulgar thing, but there was this one time when I yelled at this “person” for a straight 15 minutes. The look on his face, his mumbling to himself in confusion, and his reaction as a whole were priceless. Since that day on, I have had little or no hassles at the office.
Think not if someone is polite that they lack in voice. Revenge is a sweet dish best served cold, so say some and so pray some.

I can relate to this. I think I’ve been and still is going through worse things. I have yelled at someone too, well not yelled since my voice does not help anyway but I’ve put some people in their places and showed them that if someone is polite he/she does not lack the voice.<br /><br />I really understand your frustration with the mischief and meanness of people at work, it’s something I still can not understand, I keep asking myself why but there’s no reasonable answer to that, it seems that its the way people were raised or something.<br /><br />Anyway, my advice is, yell more but make sure your boss is not around when you do so.<br />

Or maybe, she does want the boss to be around to show the boss what a freak is working with!!<br />

<p>:D…..You and my mom have the same power: because you have established a reputation for yourself as being a quiet person, polite, not always fa3fetting and doing the crazy dance, because of THAT, and when you DO lose it on someone who deserves it, it is SO MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE.</p>
<p>They become so shocked (like your mumbling backstabber idiot), that they stop operating and freeze, perfect targets. </p>
<p>Wish I wasn’t so loud. </p>
