There are always going to be people in your working life that are difficult to deal with. Unfortunately there also seems to be some sort of cosmic joke that causes these people to be in positions that effect what you do on a daily basis. A bigger problem happens when these people are dumber than you. In fact life is just plain interesting if these people just happen to be completely stupid.
How is it that incompetent people seem to gain positions of authority or power? Is it just because of age or, dare I suggest, experience? Are these the things that seem to get people promoted? I hear all sorts of stories about people my age (26) doing phenomenally well, getting promoted, and doing all sorts of fabulous things while having a fabulous life yet I seem to know very few of these people.
Today was one of those days where the grass was greener in the other Province. I woke up this morning missing Vancouver terribly. All day the city and the life I used to have haunted me. While my work life there was unspeakably awful (while I was with HBC anyway) I definitely had a good social life. I miss my friends there, miss the climate, the pulse of the city and the general sense of a mission that people in the city seemed to have. Here I’m surrounded everyday by 1,000’s of miserable people with a good portion of them being terrible human beings. Sure the argument can be made that these people are missing their family’s, not in good health, blah, blah, blah. Reminding myself of the good things here can be difficult. There is NO comparison between here and Vancouver, hell there really isn’t a comparison between here and anywhere so I just need to keep reminding myself that the grass is as green as it needs to be.
With any luck tomorrow will be a better day.
