a little off topic

so, i consider myself a pretty decent person when i'm stable. and as of right now, i've been stable for about 3 weeks. so i'm ok, and i can tolerate most things pretty well....but do you ever have that aggrivating feeling that people are just REALLY bothering you. just because. i'm not angry at them, i'm not judging them, i just really wonder why people act the way they do.

you know, the guy that walks around with a strut thinkin he's a bad ass because he is now the project manager of a small job - congrats, it's a step in the righ direction, be proud of yourself, but get your head out your ass - you don't need to talk about the fact that they left a ladder up or moved the dumpster and you had to make them fix it like it was a huge happening on your project - trust me, there are going to be bigger and better things to be excited about on a project, and a mishap on the placement of the dumpster really shouldn't top your list of something to brag about.
the guy who thinks he knows everything about the job and what needs to be done just cause the project manager job asks him to do specific things - good for you, but it's your job, its not like he's asking you to do it cause yall are buddies, so quit acting towards everyone else like you are "THE man", because half the time he has to retrace your footsteps and fix it anyhow...he asks me to do stuff to, because i'm supposed to, but i would never consider his asking to be a "hey buddy, cause i like you why don't you do this for me" chummy chum chum.

and the guy that ALWAYS has something to complain about...and yes, i def have my moments of constant complaint, but I mean he takes it to a whole other level. this is also the guy that does NOTHING all day, but claims his job is so taxing....REALLY?! his day consists of listening to the police radio, writting down on his daily log EVERYTHING that happens (when lanes close/open, when people go out for work, when someone calls him and what they talk about, he might as well write down every time he takes a shit), reading email, complaining about said emails, writing responses to emails, showing everyone what his response to the emails was, talking about said email for a good 20 minutes, logging that he wrote and email and who it went to, staring out the window at the maintenance guys who are cutting the lawn, complaining about said maintenance guys and their lawn cutting methods for about an hour, telling everyone he's gonna write ANOTHER letter to the editor about how construction signs in his area were incorrect (even though he failed his maintenance of traffic test), check his email, complain that someone changed their mind about working one day and now he actually has to change the schedule (which is his job anyhow), respond to said email with a nasty note stating that he needs to know sooner (even though it's a day to day option of when people are going to work), and then complain to everyone for approx 1-2 hours about how he has to update the schedule, and also talk about the response he sent back to them....and there's a lot of staring out the window at the traffic going by - ROUGH DAY HUH?!

so, is it just me? are there not people that just rub you the wrong way? i mean, yes, there are things that they do right and they are decent people that i get along with, but i just want to say "are you serious right now? cut the strut, the boss isn't your buddy, and if you shut up and just do the work then you could prob be outta here in 3 hours every day".

i don't know, maybe it's just me...and i know there are times people wonder about me too, and the fact that i'm bipolar doesn't always take responsibility for the way i act, but i really don't feel like i am THAT annoying.

  2. Then again, I never taped everything to a table. ALthough I did consider it last shift when my stapler went missing.
