pushing back
as you may have gathered from my previous posts, I have had a little difficulty with the job lately and it is revolving around one specific person. There have been many times in the past month and a half that I have been wondering if it is just me being a jerk, but I see that other people have the same reaction as I do. I was recently had an "official" brush with the issue and needless to say I was unhappy about it. Sorry to be vague but it would inappropriate for me to elaborate. Anyway, my issue now is that I realize that the "problem" has been increasingly shrewd and sneaky about their attempts to place themselves in a good light and to set themselves up for continued power as well as continuing to have things their way. The problem that I have is that I truly believe that this person is ruining the work that has been done over the past year at our church. It is amazing how quickly a close minded person, especially on on an extreme power trip can destroy work that has taken so long to accomplish. That being said, I have a feeling that if things will get resolves the damage can be repaired. Well, the long and short was that I "officially" pushed back this week and am glad that I have. If nothing else it is because no one else has. I am kind of relishing my position right now. I feel as though I am standing between people and danger and I realize that I have been equipped to do this. It seems as though less intense periods of trial in my life have been practice and perhaps I will say the same thing about this period someday. Regardless, I am happy to push back and happy to struggle, but I am extremely frustrated because, as I mentioned before I am doing so with a close minded person. Their reaction is to either ignore me, or to agree with me to my face and then ignore me later anyway. It is frustrating, but alas it is what is happening.
What's just a kick in the face is that the stupid Celtics have just blown out the Lakers. Stupid Celtics...It should be illegal to go and buy 4 All Stars and win a championship. The problem that I have is that people talk like they have done something extraordinary, but that is crap. It would be as if I played basketball with a 12 year old and was heralded as amazing for my victory over him. Perhaps that is too extreme, but you get my jist.
Luckily, The Dark Knight will be out in theaters soon and all will be well.
P.S. Tiger Wood is awesome...I mean rediculously an amazing anomaly that can not be overstated.
