I’m still winning.

Today I found out that one of my co-workers is forwarding my blog posts to management. While it was pointed out to me that things are looking much better than I was remembering last night, the fact that I have such co-workers is kind of disheartening. It’s not a surprise, just disheartening.

I’m not sure why anyone would care about what I say, and I was surprised that anyone even reads this drivel. (It’s practice for me, to keep up my writing chops.) But it has now been pointed out to me by friends that in this day and age I’m not allowed to have any public opinions, at least not about work. That’s even though I’m quite simple in my opinions. I don’t try to mislead anyone and it’s pretty obvious how I’m feeling whether I write it down or not. It’s just in this case, people who are assuming I’m fat, dumb, and happy realize that I’m only two of the three.

It should also be obvious that I exaggerate things. I don’t usually name names, and even when I do people can be caricatures of the way they really are. I mean, how much fun would it be if I listed every little mundane detail about a person? It’s much better to point out interesting characteristics and anomalies. I just hope that anyone in a position of power above me possesses a sense of humor. In any case, I will now try to quit talking about work.

I usually don’t comment on comments left on my blog, but I should point out that the theme of my blog is not wowees me. It’s WOE IS ME. I am aware that I am a bit of a sad sack and it does not need to be pointed out to me by strangers. However, I find that I must correct malapropisms. I hope this has helped to increase the literacy on the web.
