..:: workplace?... zoo?... pre-school? ::..

Do you ever get the feeling that your co-workers are a bunch of preschoolers? I often do.

I feel sort of like the actor in the old Career Builder commercials, except I feel like I have it even worse, at least the "monkeys" that he had to work with were humorous...



Those monkeys I could deal with... I on the other hand have to deal with whiny little "pre-school mentality" co-workers who seem to have nothing better to do then complain about each other... cry about not getting their way... whine about how someone else in the office is not being fair to them... gossip about how they think so-and-so is not pulling his/her weight and needs to be fired.

And they all have to come spill their guts to me, as if I care. NEWS FLASH people...

... I AM NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR INFANTILE OFFICE POLITICS!!! ...

Sometimes I want to jump up on my desk and yell that to the top of my lungs.

They just don't seem to get it... life isn't always perfect... life isn't always fair... deal with it... mind your own business and leave me alone, oh yeah... and read Luke chapter 6 verse 41 while you are at it.

Anyway, I don't want to rant too much about the matter. That would make me no better than those I am ranting about, so I will end this post here, but thanks for allowing me to vent a little bit... I'm feeling much better now.

Does anybody else have to deal with "pre-school mentality" co-workers, or is it just my crucible? If you have any similar experiences, comment and let me hear about them. Together we can make it through ;-)
