You have to be nearing 60 to really get this.
You reach an age where you are done taking crap from morons and idiots. Just plain done.
Case in point – I work for a manager that is a raving lunatic. Seriously. And everyone is too afraid to tell him he’s a raving lunatic. They all KNOW he is a lunatic – yet too afraid to confront him. So he’s allowed to go over the line and off the charts on a regular basis and all his subordinates do is kiss is ass. It’s mind-boggling to watch.
For the past week and today he’s been targeting me. And I finally had enough. I stood-up to him. Guess what? He shut-up. It was that simple.
Life is too short people … way too short. And we get this lesson so late in life. If someone is making your life a living hell – DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Even if it is your job – we were not put on this planet to be the fodder of idiots.
Until next time …
