Am I Bothered?

Perhaps it was just that Monday feeling but somedays the people in my office really piss me off, everything has to be negotiated, nothing is done for the greater cause. It starts at the top, if you ask for a favour you can guarantee that sooner or later you will be given the job from hell. I find it all so petty, so frustrating - it reminds me of the attitude you see in pubs sometimes, you know:

"Fancy a pint?"
"No thanks,"
"Why not?"
"Cos, I can't afford to buy you one back."
"But that's not the point is it?" and so on

Perhaps I'm too soft, perhaps I should start reminding people exactly what my job title is, stop negotiating and start ordering, stop trying to be all things to all people and turn into a complete bastard. Trouble is I won't, whenever I do my bossman routine it lasts a day and then one of the women will pass a comment and we'll all be buddies again - more fool me.

Oh well, rant over.
