The Ministry of Idiots has been hard at work this week. See here and here for some light reading on the subject. We were also yelled at for a substantial amount of time both yesterday and today by two separate nasty people who were teeth-gnashingly enraged that they’d been caught doing something illegal.
There is something in the water, I am sure of it. I have never experienced nasty behavior on this scale for such an extended period of time. Everyone in the office is looking a bit worn down and grim, we’re just trying to make it to 5pm Friday at this point.
And so, minions, I leave you with this thought that has been reiterated to me again this week and I wish other people would learn:
“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming I am persecuted when I am contradicted.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
It has to be the nature of the beast when your work involves daily interactions with theifs, felons, and general no-good-nicks. Sorry about that.
Yes, but this week has been especially heinous. Absurdly so!
And by theifs, I mean, of course, thieves.
