8 Months of General Management
So much has happened since June:
Survived two big huge bangwanger work related crisis.
I learnt that:
1. An omission is not a lie; a truth may not be the whole truth.
2. I am not versed in the art of obfuscation.
3. Integrity or being true to thyself is the source of satisfaction.
Muddydonkey never changed/learned one bit.
I have. I have now learnt how to:
1. Slap him without rising to his taunts.
2. Laugh.
His emails to me now make me laugh uncontrollably; his emails to OTHER people (surreptitiously passed to me) makes me cackle with delight. The best way to bond is to point at the village idiot.
3. Move On.
Integrity is important. Although it is sometimes unclear, it is more important to do what is required than to do what is expected of.
1. When I do what is required, I decide what I will do/am doing. I take responsibility for my actions.
2. When I do what is expected of me, I am an unwilling participant.
Time spent being frustrated with expectations not met is time wasted.
1. Accept it, and find another way through/over/under.
I can say No.
1. No, to something I do not take responsibility for.
2. No, to something that I would not do myself.
3. And no, to blackmail.
