Disgust

Ever see someone doing something wrong? You try to stop them, or call attention to the act. Then you wind up getting into trouble for it.

Yeah...It's happened to me. I knew this person was a Jerk and that I had to go and call him out on it. Unfortunately I did it on a forum, and now I've landed in semi-warm water for flaming someone. Even though that Jerk was causing trouble for a third party. I still get reamed out for it.

I'm thinking about quitting the group now. Thing is, I don't want to give in. I don't want to give up. I don't want this Jerk to get his way by making me doubt myself. He may have the Boss backing him up, but I think he doesn't have much support other than that. So I'm backing down. It's not a shame to do so. I'll wait and see if he's dumb enough to try anything....well....really stupid. Like actually try to get someone fired, or something. He can't, but he likes to throw his light ass weight around. The Boss assured me he can't do anything on his own. You have to have proof that someone isn't doing their job and a consensus of the other staff members in a vote to throw them out of that position.

I have lost a lot of respect for the Boss; not that anyone there gives a crap about respecting me. Maybe I should quit. Just to see them flounder and cry about how the hell they'll be covering my area. The Boss and the Secretary kind of made fun of me, too, I suppose for making that post on the forums. Couple of fucking sheep. Maybe I should quit. The more I think about it the angrier I get.

I got scolded for being a "senior member"of the team and acting so poorly. The Boss said I should have handled it via PM, and if it got to be too personal, then I should bring it to him. The problem is, I don' trust the Boss. He's a little too friendly with the Jerk. The Secretary complains that I should let up; that the Boss is the only person supporting the Jerk and that everyone else on staff gives the Jerk a hard time. I say then that the Jerk should stop being a jerk, and start behaving himself.

It's perfectly fine for her to say that, since she usually just sits and waits for someone else to handle the situation. Very passive aggressive.

Anyway....Say this blogging thing is a great way to get crap off of your chest. I can see why so many people use blogs to complain about work and relationships. You'll probably be the only person who ever reads this entry, and probably not in it's entirety.
But...thanks for listening.
