...but I need to have a small rant. The ridiculousness of this situation is threatening to push me over the edge, and if I don't get this off my chest, I might explode, and let's face it, me+exploding=big, ugly mess for everyone within a 100 mile radius.
I am really sick and tired of the politics in this lab. Like, seriously. There's all this talk about being team players and working together to make sure that all the work gets done, and yet all anyone seems to be able to do is badmouth everyone else behind their backs. I'm sorry, but you're an adult now. Learn to act like one. Yes, sometimes you have to stay late. Yes, sometimes you have to do things that are not technically your specific job. Doing nothing but bitch and moan about it is going to get you nowhere besides having lost the respect of everyone around you. Sorry, but I don't deal well with infantile behavior. Never have, never will.
And I have a particularly hard time dealing with people who stand right next to me and bitch about my brother doing his job simply because they got their little baby feelings hurt. I'm sorry, but you were scheduled in an critical area, and yes, you should be able to walk out of here on time, the person who is supposed to come in after you should be able to get to work on time, but we all know she never does! So your solution is to just walk away and leave that area unattended? Um...how about no? Seriously? It doesn't take a genius to figure out that what you should do is go to Rick or Igor and say "Hey guys, Tashara isn't here yet and Paul's waiting for me to go, so could someone come up here and cover for a few minutes until she gets here?" OR you could always man up and fucking stay for 15 extra minutes. It will not kill you to call your little slut of a girlfriend 15 minutes later!
God, I am so tired of this place. I am so tired of moronic assholes thinking they know it all when really they know nothing. I love my job, and I love the boys to death, but dealing with them at work sometimes is intolerable. And I won't even get started on some of the other "attitude" problems in here, or the other supervisors...I swear...it's like kindgergarten...
*sighs*
I suppose what's really bothering me is that our little "clique" is falling apart even more than it already had...soon enough, none of my "friends" will be speaking to one another, and I'll be caught in the middle to a point where I just want to fucking slit my wrists...again.
Maybe it's time to take a long, hard look at my life...and see if any of the labs in Poughkeepsie have any openings...yeah...
It's really quite shocking just how...immature and ridiculous they can all be. Seriously. They are there to do their job and half the time, none of them seem to give a flying fuck if it gets done or not, which is when you usually come in to save their asses. They all need to grow up and take a good long look at themselves. High schools have more maturity than that lab at times, and that is really quite sad - makes me wanna steal you away from them
ReplyDeleteAs for going elsewhere for a kind of fresh start, you are always more than welcome here, even if Australia doesn't appeal to you that much *laughs* That it has been uncommonly cold for Spring, so maybe our weather is changing for the better. If you run out of options, keep Oz as a back up =)
*hugs and snuggles*
