I'm schoolin' ya!
Sometimes, I get the feeling that certain people think I have no idea what I am doing. I really get the feeling that some people think I am some kind of idiot. I’m not just being sulky. I mean, there are actual happenings where I just kind of sit there and say, “Why the hell would she/he say that?” My only answer is that they must think I am pretty dumb.
Well, I am here to educate. Sit your ass down and take note.
I am pretty passive about most things. Not because I am being meek or anything. I am pretty passive about a lot of things because these things may not be priorities in my life. Maybe in your life – but not mine. So, don’t think because I shrug it off that I am ignorant about that subject. I probably don’t care about the issue. Also, I feel that I am pretty well rounded and have a good grasp on most areas. However, I am not going to steamroll someone if they say something that I know for a fact is wrong. That is not me. It’s not that important. I do not project myself on others. With all of my control issues, believe me, this is one area in which I do not want control. I expect people to reciprocate.
As far as me professionally … I am not going to be passive about this one. I kick ass. There isn’t a person that has worked with me that can dispute that. I may not take the easy way to get there, and there may be some bumps in the road, but there isn’t a person that I have a professional relationship with that would not want me on a project, a committee, etc. And, there are a lot of people I work with that I feel the same way about. Since my son was born, my priorities have changed. I only jump through the hoops that I want to jump through. Don’t take my quiet attitude for ignorance. I know what’s going on – I just don’t choose to be a starting player but I’m still on the damn team.
The Peter Principle states that people rise to their maximum level of incompetence. I’ve seen that happen.
I’ll let you know when I get there.
