shades of madness

why some people want to push other people's buttons is a mystery to me... power trips... control trips... insecurity... the world is full of people so empty inside they puff themselves up so they appear full of themselves and their mission is to put other on the defensive, make others uncomfortable, or just intrude in others space to give themselves some sense of worth and prove they have some value... unfortunately, those same people undermine the work of others and are poison to an organization... i had the unfortunate luck to have one invade my office today and it will be the last time she gets a carte blanche welcome in my facility... she is the first person at this organization to treat me with disrespect s she questioned me with disdain and dismissed me when i asked her for cooperation and to simply do her job... today was the first time in eight months that i questioned whether i joined the right organization for me... my direct supervisor was appalled at the treatment i received and she offered to intervene (even though she was two hours away at the time), but i was reassured enough at her reaction that i asked her not to... one person can poison an organization, but not necessarily kill it...

the day just got worse, but i survived... we shall see what tomorrow brings...
