I'm in the same boat Ex.
The co-ordinator position I've been working has been hellish, mostly due to poor document control and distribution.

I have ideas of how to fix it and made some demos...the only support I've gotten is from my supervisor...reaction from upper management and even other operators (who's jobs would be easier with my ideas) think its a waste of time tongue

I've seen the "deathly afraid of changes" from the other side.

I don't work in the 9 to 5 world anymore but I recall being fine with improvements, but changes often weren't, at least not in city government. Just things coming down from on top so they could feel like they were doing something, unfortunately that something was adding unnecessary work that had side effects ranging from minor to disastrous.

And of course reasonable suggestions from someone like me rarely had any attention paid to them. Why listen to advice from the guy you're always remarking is the only efficient person in the office?

Haters are gonna hate is my motto. its all they can do. they cant compete.

Criticisms, or snarky comments, they're just trying to slow us down because they are slow and lazy.

If people spent half as much time on their work rather than ways to procrastinate, or slowing others down through snarky comments and trying to make themsleves *SEEM* better ... the world would be awesome.

People just try to throw you off, intentionally, or just because they suck and only negative sucktitude comes out of their mouths.


I just imagine clicking on them and dragging and dropping them ... all their comments ... into my *bullshit* folder on the computer of my life.

otherwise, they're either just slowing me down from doing work, or making me pissed off so i cant enjoy my free time. THEY DESERVE NEITHER!!!!

You know haters. Because they feel inept and incompetent, they tear down those who are trying to actually accomplish something!

Big egos in lazy people... At the very least they should offer something constructive. If they honestly believe it won't work, they should offer a reasonable alternative.

Well to be fair, you can know what's wrong with a plan without having a better plan.

It's just as wrong to ignore valid criticism as it is to offer invalid criticism.

Criticism motivated by one's own jealousy is not likely valid. The "time on your hands" one X-O got would seem to fall into this category. As well as the "it's over my head but I won't admit it" category.

It's all in the delivery. If they shoot down your plan but point out what's wrong with it, all well and good smile Course, there are some people who adamantly refuse to consider even though you've tweaked your plan over and over.

I've had a sinus infection for the last week. I still worked, still did what I needed to do, but I've felt like shit for over a week now. Got sunburned friday when I was working in the yard all day, and yesterday decided to try my old standby, alcohol and warm wraps to break the fever and snots. di'nt work. So, today Im at work again, and still feel like shit, with only about three solid hours of sleep last night. Grumblermuttergripbitch.

Aagghh! My cat has a porcupine quill in his eye! I didn't even notice until the dog wouldn't stop barking at him. I'm off to the vet...

Comet the cat has survived (no surprise) and kept his eye (yay!) and has promised to reimburse me the $275 it cost for the operation. Fortunately, it was actually right under the eye, not piercing it.

And it turned out it wasn't a quill, but a piece of wood. Even the vet thought it looked like an old quill at first.

At least the piece of wood has momentarily disabled his heat vision.

Wood is for Alan Scott, not the Super-Pets.

Which means Comet is just being kind enough not to burn down the house.

I'm tired of loved one and friends acting like complete and total assholes. I get no time off from work to deal with the latest dramatic oh shit moment. I'm tired all the time, and life is about as enjoyable right now as a wire scrubbing pad enema. I don't know why its become asshole season, but I've about had enough.
