Do you suppose those folks who ramp-up-the-dram (ramp it up! ramp it up!!)are pronoic?
There is speculation that there may be a heretofore unrecognized mental disorder, likened to the opposite of paranoia, and they're calling it pronoia. These peops think that they can do no wrong, and that every item out of their mouthes is a pearl of wisdom!
I have worked with a few people who match this description (it was unpleasant!), and it wouldn't surprise me, at all!
Haven't you ever come across a total nitwit, who thinks everything he or she does is just perfect, and exACTly what the situation called for, and can't figure out why you don't think so, too?
I've had to work around 2 of them. Fortunately, not at the same time!
Yes! God it was infuriating! I was actually manager of one and she was exactly like that. Luckily she left because the company wasn't moving in the direction she felt it should. The sad thing was that she was the bottom rung. Like a hamburger jockey telling the owner of macdonalds where to open.
That's them! Don't you love the baffled looks they give you, when you disagree with them?!?!?
Craig, I had to be ready to do damage control, in the process of designing and building scenery. Difficult and annoying, but handleable, and just a volunteer situation.
With Susan, she was allowed to believe she was there to fix a bad situation (by a bad boss), and caused me to have a nervous breakdown (now, THERE'S a little drama!!! Oi!).....
Fortunately, said breakdown was right in front of the Artistic Director, and she AND bad boss were not hired back!
