New Year, SOS

There are so many things Mom does not understand. She doesn't understand why people have to be so vicious, back stabbing and self serving. Or more likely just apathetic. I try to tell her it's because people don't think about other people, they only think about themselves. In fact, people don't only just think about themselves they don't even think about what is good for the whole. Good for...for instance, an entire library system. They just want to lord it over their small piece of the kingdom.

There is no cooperation. There is no listening to new suggestions or ideas. There is just me, me, me, what about me and MY job. How do I keep my stranglehold monopoly on x-services, y-services, media services, delivery services, z-services, abc branch....etc. etc.

There is no: How can I help make things better? How can I make things run more smoothly. Wouldn't it be nice if more people got involved? No, there is none of that. Communication.....bah....who needs it. Cooperation....ha....what's that?

Someone wants to be proactive and suggest something. Maybe someone just wants to throw an idea out there so we can all mull it over, perhaps collaborate on a large project.

We don't need any of that here missy! Stay on your own patch of dirt, shut the hell up and forget about all your dreams for a better tomorrow.

You may have worked on something for years and years but that doesn't mean you're entitled to keep doing it. We'll just give it away to someone else. Someone who hasn't done it before all because WE CAN and WE WILL and NOTHING CAN STOP US. Because we're THE MAN darn it and don't you ever forget that. The gods forbid you should actually enjoy your job and be fulfilled by it. We'll have none of that here thank you very much.

I am so glad I am a cat.
