Hey Y'all

Turns out I have ALL the POWER...

Apparently I have the power to make other adult humans "fly off the handle" by simply asking a question. The question was, and I might add I had no hint of attitude when asking (i've asked other people), in response to "we're not there yet" (work issue) I said, "ok, so what do we do to get there?" This woman lost her shit... then after calming down on the call (that included like 4 groups from work) we finished the call, and she called me to say that I made her do that, and that she's sick of covering for and cleaning up after me. She's tired of being the bad guy.

I may or may not have laughed at her and said "I don't need anyone to cover for or clean up after me. As an adult in the real world, I know that when I screw up I need to call, or go see the person and apologize and take responsibility for my own actions. I definitely don't call someone else and blame them for my actions. It may be helpful to you if you were to start doing the same. I didn't attack you, or provoke you or anything else, I asked a question, because I'm dedicated to fixing the broken process. You flew off the handle, that's on you. I think it's sad that you want to use me as a scape goat for your crappy attitude, and to be quite honest, I have to own up to sticking my own foot in my mouth enough, I don't need to own yours too."

She kept it up for a while and I finally said, ok, if that's how you want to see it then that's fine. I'm telling you this only to help you, when you talk to other people about this, I would refrain from blaming me or anyone else, I'd just own up to it. It looks awfully childish to blame others for your actions. Even if you believe I was "snarky" with you, you should have the composure to respond more professionally, no one yelled on that call but you, so own it. Be you, and own your actions. I know I do.

Since I seem to be the probable explanation for all things anyone does that are a poor reflection on themselves, please tell me what do you all want to blame me for today

Jeez, Carrie! Why is the wine always gone?

Did you drink it all or did you make me drink it all?

stephyfaith · March 2014

She sounds like a real joy to work with.

Carrie, why did you tell my baby not to sleep anymore?

I'm sorry, that woman sounds absolutely immature, and ridiculous.

Yes, the snow! As I tell all my other friends out there: keep that shit in Ohio, stop sending it East! It was fun up until last week. Spring is here, mother nature, or did you not get that memo? I'll have someone get another copy over to you ASAP.

She sounds special.

I blame you for my pink eye!

I blame you for you not being around nearly enough. I also blame you for me not getting enough sleep. Oh and for this darn weight loss plateau. Fix it damn you!
