Brief venting
Have you ever gotten the sense that people are not taking you seriously?
Ever gotten the sense that your opinions and your assistance were not really wanted?
Ever gotten the sense people see you as nothing more than a clown? Just a chattering nutcase?
I got to tell you, nothing annoys me more than that. I am a sarcastic ass, yes and I'm quite proud of that fact; but I'm also quite intelligent, at least I think so, and I lose my temper pretty damn quick if I think that isn't being acknowledged. Been through too much of people just assuming that I'm an idiot, no tolerance for that anymore.
Also, when a group suddenly starts mentioned prohibitions on any sort of sarcasm, over and over again, attached to everything that they're doing? Seriously, why don't we just say, "Gavin, shut up." I mean its not like I won't be pissed (because I do get pissed off when I feel like I can't speak freely; most people can figure out on their own I'm just screwing around, and if you can't, if you're one of those overly sensitive souls, get over it grow a skin) but I'd think a lot more of you if you had the balls to speak to me directly instead of masking it into some generalized comments. Like no one's going to figure out who your directing it at.
These are certainly not new ideas of mine, this has been building up for a while now. It may just be the considerable bad mood I've been in for some time now that's causing it to really surface. Causing my patience to just go.
May be time for a break for now. May be time to scale back how much time I spend with this group.
