Missed this out for a week, and probably need tor reshuffle my menory on what hapened last week. Oh I remember! More workplace stress. Probably thats why I didn't wrote that early.
I was rather puzzled and disappointed by a colleague's comment that I'm not given a really heavy workload. Well, its true to some extent, whatever he feels, I'll let him stick to it, but that certainly didn't taint my contributions. Sure thing that people might feel that I'm fluffing my time away with the paycheck I get, but I'm sure that is not the case. I was really unhappy that my help was totally disregarded for someone else's "feelings", if someone was even hurt in the first place (I doubt), so I just kept one burning question unasked to save some of this colleague's blushes, what is the motivation behind (or even further behind) the comment? Does the person being "defended" even care that we might fight over it? Afterall, I will always try to protect my friends, and I don't expect to fight a friend for a third person, even if the third person is a friend (or not).
One thing I'm sure, I can never win by pure reason when someone else is not using it. The reason is there, sometimes, just more of the heart (and mind) needs to be used to understand the logic behind my actions.
Speaking of work, its getting hot in my team, as in tempers, though I'm not involved. If everyone starts picking on everything thats comes up, then there would be no more friends. Kind of silly to think of it, but I could understand everyone's view, but could everyone else do the same? I find it disappointing that people say "I understand" and "I agree" and later slash at each other for the same thing they understand. Sad thing, and one I didn't forsee last year. Well, they can continue the way they are, fine, but I rather not be in the same playground. I slog for my rewards and tricks in office is non-existant in my life "manual".
Lost to Fulham, so what? Is Everton not heading for Champions League a problem? Is Liverpool playing flashy football like Arsenal and Chelsea? I wonder if my 80 cents wasted on the papers should be spent on something else. I have friends supporting Liverpool and surely, they even agree that Liverpool is not going to be in fourth place by the end of 38 games, so just show me some good football! Come on Moyes! We can play a football style at the level of the Champions. Everton is not a rich team, but why shouldn't a hardworking team taste some form of success?
