They're driving me to drink and I'm not even in a relationship with them!!!

Sometimes I don't like my other job.

Most days it's cool. The people I work with understand why they're there, and they get the objective done...

...and then some days, I have to deal with some people that make me want to sin my soul. But I am a professional, so I have perfected the art of baring my teeth but make it look like I'm smiling sweetly and serenely. Nothing drives them more crazy than when I do that.

I think it's the sense of entitlement. Many of the disgusticating (it's a word my mother uses) ones are the ones who think that just because they have skills, the world needs to fall at their feet and do their bidding. I, on the other hand, am not impressed by their skills, nor their stature. I have moved in circles involving politicians, the rich, the young and elite, the people who make things happen and really help run this world. The people who buy and sell such persons of perceived entitlement. So I'm not impressed. I don't go around boasting about this, however, partially because my interaction with these people are purely business. But I'm still not impressed.

Also, it's not an enshrined and protected right to be on facebook. Yes, I like Facebook too, but there is no law, right, policy, international document that protects users from being denied Facebook. You're not supposed to be on Facebook anyway at this office. So when I kindly, and softly ask you to come off of Facebook, having a temper tantrum at me about why you need to be on facebook is only making your case worse, because on top of breaking your contract with the department (for being on facebook), you're displaying "ungentlemanly/unladylike conduct" and possibly threatening an employee. Take it from me, it just doesn't do you any favours to behave like that.

As well, basic manners are still quite fashionable right now. Let's start with simple things: Responding properly when I greet you with: "Hello."; "Good night"; or any of the variations of those two phrases. Then, after we graduate from that module, we'll work on the use of speech responsibility portion: just because you have a mouth and a vocabulary does not mean whatever you say and however you say it is acceptable and will be tolerated; no matter what your mother, girlfriend, main outside girlfriend, and other groupies will say. It's not funny, especially since, if you had tried that on me 3 years ago, not only would I have made charcoal of your ass, but I would do it with words you probably do not know and will never understand.

I matured alot in the past 3 years. My quiet demeanour is not the indication of a doormat. It would be unwise to think so, just as it's unwise to assume that I'm smiling.
