I only posted one thread in my first blog and I was accused of lacking respect for women by a judgemental by-the-book shmuck. Well, I started this blog to have an outlet for my negativity (aka shit) and my first subject happened to be women at work. If any of you think I was too harsh on women, you should listen to what femenists have to say about women who slack the shitty work just because they are women.

Nevermind...this thread is gonna be dedicated to old people who lack ambition at work. They suck BIG TIME. As if it wasn't enough that they don't care about the quality of their work, they also start nagging you if you try to be creative and if -God forbids- you try to conduct your work with minimal professionalism, they will be all over your ass telling you how it's not worth it and how insignificance your work is.

During my first week at work, I asked a co-worker about something that would've improved my work if I knew. An older co-worker over-heard me and came running (to help I assumed), and this is the conversation we had:

Old co-worker: "You wanted to ask about somethin"

Me: "yeah I needed background info to wrap up this piece."

Old co-worker: "Well, you know. What you're doing is great, but it's not worth it. Our institution is shitty they take professionalism for granted. Don't bother with it."

Me: "Geee. Thanks for the valuable advice, but if you come back to me with the same enthusiasm-killer crap, I'll kick your ass back to your cubic."

Old co-worker (over-taken by the rookie's stark response): "What? I'm as old as your father."

Me: "I know you're too old to be working in a cubic, but if you'll keep throwing your shit at me I WILL make you feel sorry for your old ass."

He gave me the look and left. Ok, you might say that was too cruel on the "Old Gentelman." I say F him. I don't care if he F'ed his life up and winded at a cubic at the age fo 57+, but I will not tolerate any attempt to make my life as F'ed up as his.

I think such wining-women or apathic old people proliferate at government-run institution where they can slack working hours with their usual crap. Maybe I didn't make the best decision when I joined a state-run institution, but at least now I know why our government sucks. It's only because it harbors these examples and has no mechanism to evaluate its employees. I wouldn't be surprised if the old fart who was trying to thwart my effort was promoted to be boss only because he's been workin here for too long. But I won't wait until I see that day...I'm leaving to the private sector as soon as I get a good offer.
