The power trip of a bitch

There’s a girl I know of. Who has some sort of managerial role. We don’t work on the same team, but she sure loves to show off her power, or tries to.

I had a convo with her last month. She insulted my hearing inability and I wasn’t going to let her get away with it. I spoke my words and she responded with nothing. Of course. Never willing to apologize.

But she had to get me back and she did last night, at least she attempted to.

The truth is no one likes her. No one. She doesn’t show respect to anyone. I learned in my first managerial position that in order to get respect, you have to show respect. She’ll never learn cause she obviously doesn’t want to.

She always looks angry, bitter and worn down. Even if she is attractive (which I don’t think so), she doesn’t help it along by showcasing negative attitude all the time.

So you made a point. You were even sneaky about it by coming up to me and speaking your words quietly. Let me assure you that those words have made things much worse between us. You will never earn my respect unless you apologize to me. And since I know this will never happen, I will reserve my respect to those who deserve it. I’m walking away from your ignorance.

I’m okay with this cause I don’t want to waste my time on those who think they know everything because they carry a different trade than mine. It’s all about life wisdom and understanding social interactions. People like her will never learn this. So the best way to deal with them is not to.

I’m done venting.
