conflict of interest Before I left work this morning I had the unwanted pleasure of having a chat with my boss about something that had happened yesterday morning. Actually it goes back a little further to Wednesday night, but that doesn't mattter nor is it worth going into the details of my job to fully explain the incident. The point is that something at work angered me and I let my feelings be known and made a decision that I still believe was right. Obviously my boss disagreed or we wouldn't have had a discussion. Naturally my response to him is whatever. I didn't use that word, but I stated my side more than once, but he already had his mind made up that I was wrong, so it was futile for me talk any more. Nothing that I said had any value at that point. I think that he thought that I was going to apologize for my actions or that I was avoiding something when we talked, but he was so wrong. I had made a decision and I had my reasons for it. Sometimes I can only be pushed so far before I shove back. Battle of wills. Ego trip. Power trip. Whatever. It was all a reminder of why I think that the world of business is asinine and not worth my time. Ah, I feel so much better now. ... Maybe I sound as though I have a problem following instructions and or taking orders and to a point I would agree. I can do what I am told, but I will not do something that I see as being foolish and not needed. I also think that the conversation was a reminder that I could be happier working some place else, but I have to find where that might be so I endure this nonsense. ... I wish that I could better express how well Nicole and I get along. The two of us are very relaxed around one another and I can't say that about many people that I know. A good example would be what happened this morning at work. A group of people were standing around talking and everything seemed fine to me. However, when the two of us went into another room she started fidgeting. She then explained to me that when she had crossed her arms just a few minutes earlier her bra had come undone. She knew that this happened and casually walked with me to another room so that she could solve the problem. She then went on to tell me that she thought that she could be free so to speak for a time, but it started to bother her. A quick adjustment and she was much more comfortable. That girl is a classic and always knows how to make me smile.
