Right in Front!

"The little guy on the pole always gets all the work." We've all heard that before! In some cases it is very true. But often that work makes you want to jump from the nearest bridge. Well maybe not that bad, but the thought maybe in your head as you see yourself pushing someone off a mountian... can you tell it's been a good day? Anytime I am asked a question that can easily be answered by the data in our system I want to chuck my computer out the window look at my broken window and reply... "gee, I wish I could access that, but it seems my computer is not currently available, maybe you should try YOURS!" I guess a girl can dream!  And while I am blogging my life away (rant away rant away my inner kid is pounding on the key board). I would LOVE for someone to tell me why someone can have a "vision" of how they want a project completed and fail to share it... they simply just keep making corrections on what you turn in and say "I'm thinking of something different than that..." ah.. okay? LIKE WHAT? The road path street is getting awefully thin! Am I on vacation yet? Oh and the report you asked for, it's printed and on your chair- RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!

Communication

Speaking is one of those things I truly believe people take for granted. Feelings get hurt so quickly, often without words ever being spoken. Actions that were intended for one purpose are taken as another, and people run with hard emotions, instead of taking a moment and looking at all the facts. I truly believe that wars start because people do not know how to speak, and think others should do it for them. People who know me know that I say what I am thinking, and I fight my own battles- most of the time. It is VERY rare that I will have Rich speak on my behalf, and even then I am standing next to him so the person is aware that I am "behind" the message. See I have learned that many things gets lost in the game of telephone, we've all played it one time or another, and we all laugh at the last person who blurts out the phrase in the end... burnt sausage sunrise! WHAT! That's not what I said at all!!!! Yep- telephone is dangerous! And so is being upset about anything and never actually talking to the person to find out what really was going on... CONVERSATIONS and true communications can save alot of hurt feelings, relationships and prevent war! I have yet to see a war without casualties... No one is really ever the winner... there really is never a "good" outcome... and sometimes PRIDE is just a little too much... olive branches are all around, but sometimes people rather grab and smash them, and make statements, than actually communicate what they really feel...
