Work ethics and my bag of rocks...
Friday, May 23, 2008 by The Traveler
Why does it seem a lot of different people, from various backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, cultures, ages, and genders only do the bare minimum at work?
Why do I feel a sense of urgency and others don't, especially in a deadline driven field?
I'm so frustrated...I have a really hard time seeing a need and not filling it - even if it isn't in my "area" of responsibility. So why don't others?!?!?!
So...should hold others to my standards or am I just filling up my bag with rocks that don't need to be there?
Why does this bug me so much?
Why do I even care?
Should I even care?
Somethings for me to ponder more.

No wonder I married Chris, he reminds me of you! (I love him endlessly BTW) Chris deals with this type of thing a lot. I've told him he just has to be tolerant of people where ever they're at, even if they are incompitent. If this is a control issue because you hate to fail then you're gonna have to work on that one as well. Don't ever be ashamed of your standards because they are yours and work for you. Just try to be tolerant of others as they try to figure things out as well. We all learn at different paces and that's okay. Just let your work speak for it's self. Sometimes some people have to fail, it's the only way they learn to make different choices! Love ya lots!!
