Something I’ve Observed: Dislike of the “really busy” people at work
Maybe this should not annoy me as much as it does, but everytime I hear it, I want to scream, belt the person, or look at them and say “who cares?”
You have two populations of people at work, those who work and those who are always announcing to everyone else that they are working.
You know who I am talking about? It’s that person who is just completely “overextended”, hasn’t any more capacity for additional work, and seem to be yapping on the phone more than anyone else in the room.
It’s also not surprising that these same people never get anything done, it’s because they are so “damn busy” they just don’t have time for anything else on their plate. Did these people go to some special university that specializes in daily self affirmation of their success over very little achieved?
In this economy, how are these people keeping their jobs? There is a trick to looking busy, is it the mass of printed paper scattered over a desktop, or having your head buried in a phone all day? I know, it’s that very fast paced walking down the hall with glasses low on the nose holding something that looks official…that must be the trick to the disguise.
I don’t take too well to these people…
I find myself gravitating towards those people who never spout off about how busy they are. Yet, they have a high stress position and have major accountability to get things completed, and they usually do.
The workers who typically keep to themselves, don’t mingle in the cool crowd, and have a very clean work space, these are the folks who normally are on the ball. They are organized and are able to successfully use the electronic media within the PC to save documents rather than post art all over their walls as to appear as if they have unreal job responsibilities.
Save the artwork for the fridge…
Rant over and off my chest…thank you.

- Internet fun for the weekend… March 11, 2010By far one of my favorite websites of late is called GraphJam.com.

- Tiger’s “cat” is almost out of the bag March 11, 2010Of course we couldn’t wait too long before throwing in our own two cents about the Woods story, it wouldn’t be American! I’m getting to the point where I’m getting angry because this is now a public issue. It’s private until Tiger hopped behind the wheel and crashed his vehicle. It’s private until the police are called a […]kansasview
- Come on ABC…Lambert only kissed another guy, big deal March 11, 2010What’s wrong ABC? You can’t allow a very flamboyant and talented singer on GMA? However, you have prime time shows that openly display homosexual men/women and sometimes they kiss! Brothers and Sisters, Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy, they all have gay characters who quite frequently engaged in PDA. Granted, these are actors but there is […]kansasview
