I am who I am

So I had this meeting with my boss today. Asked him what I needed to do for a raise promotion.

He said I'd been doing a good job so far, but that I needed to keep team morale in mind and "be more positive, because not everyone understands your sarcasm."

<dream>"Pfft, fuck that," I said. "It would've been better if you just asked me to fuckin' roll over and die." Then I said "screw this" and walked out.</dream>

::shrug:: What's an alienated employee or two?

I guess that promotion won't be coming for a looong time.

Ever consider flexibility? Perhaps if you meet your boss half way there would be a win-win situation? Don't you think that perhaps you could see past your views, and look at another point of view, regardless of how flawed you find everyone else?

It was a joke. The sarcasm thing again...

What about:

I guess that promotion won't be coming for a looong time.

Are you joking here, or do you really "feel" this way?

That was a joke too. In fact I'm still laughing about it.

::sigh::

I can definately relate to you. My boss owns 3 funeral homes, three personal homes, and a huge boat in Florida (to go with his Florida home of course). They NEVER have the money to upgrade anything, and asking for healthcare was such a bad idea on my part... I guess it's not easy being a millionare. Especially when companies are calling & faxing over personal documents for Nascar sponsorship.

Thanks for dropping by my site. =)
