I take the high road.....

I really don't bitch much. Certain things set me off depending on my mood. But, most of the time I try to take the high road. This causes my daughter to fume "It doesn't matter what road you take your still gonna be in the same situation." This is mostly when I discuss "Bi-polar". The office manager. Bi-polar takes the low road. She is a harassment suit waiting to happen. I work in an industry that hires people who: Send 1/2 their pay to child support & will hardly work to keep from sending it, will "borrow" the company truck then use it to load stolen property & sell it out of said truck. Honest!! Borrow $ for rent/bills whatever 'cause they are broke on Mon. after Fri. payday AND tell you what a good time they had doing it! Its a fun job. Really. Anyway, Bi-polar will make racists remarks, yell at them, call them names etc. I don't. She yells at me too. I ignore her. She is scared to death I will take her job. She comes in to work angry everyday, always has family drama. If they aren't dead they are dying. She goes to the Dr. every time someone else gets sick. She has HBP but d/n take her medicine. You getting the picture? When I started losing weight my direct boss said "the skinnier I got the meaner she got." So why won't they fire her? She has known them for about 15+ yrs. 10 years ago there would have been a brawl in the front office 1st time she gave me shit. As a good friend once said "I've become a kinder more gentler Grammice." So, I have learned to ignore her & take the high road. The situation hasn't changed. Some days I'm ready to walk...but then she wins. As long as I stay I win. I've got the respect of my direct bosses because I take the high road. I love my job, 7-3, m-f, jeans/shorts & t-shirts and take off whenever I want. Yep I like winning.

Somethings that can make me take the low road:

1) Northerners who complain about the south. Everything, from the way we drive to the way we talk. Go home!

2) People who don't use their blinkers when your waiting to make a turn.

3) Tailgaters.

4) Rude people who complain out loud about smoking. You wear "eau da wet dog" perfume/aftershave don't you? We are even as far as I'm concerned.

5) Spitters, thats just nasty.

6) People who say "It's not my job".

7) The "been there done that, better than you" group.

8) The person who comes into work siiiiick! Thank you for ebola! Makes me wonder if Stephen Kings "The Stand" can really be fiction.

9) The "book burners" of our society!

10) Buttinskies! You live your life, I live mine.

Well thats my post till after CINCO DA MAYO unless something happens. I hope you approve daughter. Love mom
