Work sucks. That's all there is to it. Just once, just once, I'd like to be able to tell a user what I really think without being worried about losing my job. How many times do I have to tell this guy that we a:) Don't have an IIS server and b:) Neither want nor intend to get one? How many times? How many times do I have to tell him I am not going to create an internet solution for his piddly problem that could be handled in a better, more cost effective, more secure way? Can't I just beat him soundly ?!
I've never been good with expressing emotions. I always felt that emotions were a sign of weakness - part of being raised as my father's "son", I suppose. Lately I'm having a hard time bottling up those things that bubble up when people start flinging arrows and stones. Some I deserve. Others, less so. Innocent comments get taken out of context and used to further some cause. I make a genuine post about an overwhelming feeling I have, and someone turns it into an accusation, based on some sort of internet statistic that proves I've posted in response to something else. Frankly, I don't see the connection. I get angry more often than I used to, but I often feel like I've been kicked in the gut too. I'm not accustomed to that one. It usually brings tears. Intended kindnesses are perceived as attempts to control. And this post will be labeled as an attempt to send someone on a guilt trip - but hey - if the shoe fits, baby, wear it out.
