Finally Friday

It's been one of those weird weeks, neither bad nor good...just something I can't quite classify .

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate, detest and abhor meetings.

Period.

So guess what I had today....really....take a shot .

Yep.

Disguised as a " Lets get lunch as a group " crap fest , off we trot.

Me , being the ever hopeful thought .." Well , okay. Nothing was said about an agenda so maybe...just maybe for once , it is simply what it is ."

Silly, silly me.

Food is ordered..yeah.....solid food.

As we wait, the question is broached...." So what it going on ?"

Ruh-Roh.

Usually , when we talk amongst ourselves...we mutter about this and that . What is the current " Oh they did not...really ? Whoa shit...."

One of them will NEVER, EVER bring up a problem to our PTB. The other talks good shit till the time comes to actually bring it up.

Me, I try to make a point with examples without naming names or getting all snitchy about it...

NOT TODAY.

When asked, I gave specific examples of problems and made clear that I had in fact documented occurrences.

I offered solutions.

Since I have been there longer than all of the others, I quoted Firm Policy .

When we got back to the office , I fired off a professional, polite e mail with the bullet points of the discussion to the PTB.

Will anything change..Oh Fuck No.

Will I do it again....Oh Fuck No.

I've finally grasped that the whole discussion of ideas bullshit is just that .

Problems don't want to be recognized , much less addressed.

And I sure as Hell am not going to wear the hair shirt of " She who complains..".

Nope.

Lesson learned.

Have a great weekend.

Aunty Pol.
