| | | Pissed & climbing Okay, I'm mad. Beyond mad. Close to furious.
What do you do with someone who won't even take a simple reminder about something important, that they have obviously forgotten about, without getting all defensive and nasty?
You say 'fine, whatever' and leave them alone to take responsibility for their shit, right?
But what happens if, by doing that, it means they have to screw something else up? And you get blamed for *that* happening (i.e. they get mad you wouldn't cover for them?) Again?
Sometimes, I really hate my life. | | Loveforum Breaktime | | |  | Loveforum also recommend - Green tea - Help in weight loss and decrease rate of getting cancer.

| | | actually i just walk away without a care in the world. if they don't wanna deal with their problem, then i won't bother taking any sort of responsibility. sometimes being shallow is a good thing.

| | | It sounds like a parenting-of-teenager issue, but I know you don't have a teenager yet...

| | | Let's say it *was* a teenager, or someone who acts like one. What would you do? Add to the mix the fact that I actually care about the outcome of such cases, but have enough going on w/my life that I can't take on the additional responsibility situations like this would require. | |

| | | Well, since I have two teenagers, I am pretty much expert at overlooking it when they are nasty or defensive.
I dunno, though. I don't think I have enough info to form a legitimate piece of advice.

Think I need to just set my 'not my problem' boundary a little wider, sounds like. | |

| | | Redundancy is the answer when dealing with incompetence. Make it the business of a team of assclowns, not just one assclown to get it done.
This is why you might consider taking a paintball gun to work. Or to bed. I assume you're kvetching about work, but I don't really know...

This is why you might consider taking a rolled up newspaper to bed. I assume you're kvetching about work, but I don't really know... I fixed your post, except now I don't know how to solve your suggestion in the first paragraph, lol.  | |

Oh, BTW, if you want to get it right, its actually this:
Nobody can help you. Ever. Regardless of what you feel. Ultimately, it all comes from you. Which is another way of saying, EVERYONE can help you, if only you are aware enough. They are the same thing.
Are you confused yet?  | |
