Always looking at the dark sideI work in a new department and as usual, you have a cast of characters that come with the territory.
I work with a couple of old timers that have been here a long time like me. They've gotten to a point in their benefits to take just about every Friday off for vacation. At the very least a half day. They are rabid golf fans and play as much as possible. That's where they are now.
Two of the guys sitting near me are talking about this. Saying how silly it is for the guys to be playing in this heat.
What I'm hearing is they would rather sit in a cubicle at work vs. playing a long afternoon of golf outside and not be at work. What is wrong with this thinking? Negativity? Jealousy? Being that much of a puss? Seriously, this just stick out as pure negativity. Hell, I know I rant,
**** and complain on occasion, but this is just stupid talk.
I guess I get especially frustrated with the one who claims to be so religious. He balances bravely on his discussions of religion. Not pushing, but announcing it enough to be intrusive. He just seems to harbor more darkness. It's probably more of his engineering nature. Examining things way to much, providing all the angles and discussing the least fun outcome. I know he's not Mother Teresa, but still after all these years, I expect the vocal religious to portray a more loving perspective on life. Not a life sure sucks perspective.
