When Work Gets Rough

At work yesterday I had a pretty rough day. Politics unfortunately played a major role and that is frustrating. Not like party politics- but the politics of the the office. There is a saying that *hit flows downhill, and its true, so when you are towards the bottom of the food chain and things go bad- they go very bad. In a twist from the public opinion the problems go up. Say the actual government, who do people blame for their problems? Usually the President, the Congress, Senate, state and local governments. Or if a company goes bad the board of directors or CEO gets blamed (often deservedly).

Its also a bit like the game 'telephone.' Do you remember? Someone starts and whispers into the person next to them, their ear and so on. The last person then says what they interpreted it to be, often to a humorous result. (Madagascar II) had a great part with telephone. (It was also a great movie so you should see it if you haven't) Anyway the short end is that people only hear what they want to hear, so in my case a seemingly innocent observation got hideously blown out of proportion to the point like a vice president of engineering heard about it and chaos follows. IE Not good.

Sorry this was a crummy blog, I'm still not in a great mood. =P
