Month goal
It's early on June 1st and I've been on vacation for a week and spending more time interacting with people than usual. I've been somewhat amazed by the balls of many people... I.e. I've been actually impressed by the thoughtless, rude, or just amazingly selfish and bitch moves people will do and I am resolving to do something about it.
I will be starting work in one hour. At that time through the forseeable future, I am going to call people out on their shit when it comes up. I'm not going out of my way to tell you my opinion but if you come to me, I'm not going to be all 'poor you'.
Will I end up with less friends? Will I end up losing my job? Don't know and don't really care. [Update: Actually you know what? I'm making a prediction. I won't loose any friends (people I care about) and I won't lose my job. Why? Because we've become a world of pu**y little bitches. Seriously. Passive aggressive crap everywhere. It absolutely sickens me to see this. And we're raising kids to be this same way - did you know in many schools teachers are told not to use red ink when grading because that might cause negative emotions? GMAFB. It had better cause bad emotions. Guess what? You screwed up, you pay a penalty. Heaven forbid we teach kids such hard lessons]
Want to know why things seem so messed up in the world or in your life? Want to know how to fix it?
1) take responsibility for yourself and your actions. Simple and obvious.
2) be nice. Stop trying to get away with stuff, stop plotting to use others, stop acting entitled. Stop acting like you're the poor victim.
I look forward to the next level in 30 years when I become a crotchety senior citizen and start telling peole my unsolicited opinion. For now though, if you come to me , you won't find kid gloves. Fu*k that. Grow up. You've been warned.
p.s. this isn't just work I'm talking about.
