Open letter

[beetiger]

Dear Universe, people in my office, or anyone else who needs to hear this:

I screw up sometimes. Often, even. Sometimes I'm missing critical information. Sometimes I'm just careless or stupid or inattentive or lazy or entirely oblivious that something's amiss. But I'm rarely malicious. If you have a problem with something I've done, please tell me. If you've made a request of me and I haven't complied, please mention it to me, explicitly, in a timely fashion. If I'm doing something you find unforgivable or disgusting, some sort of direct notification of this might be appropriate. I probably haven't noticed.

You can even talk about me behind my back, make thinly veiled references about how incompetent I am in public, charge me late fees, or decide to hate me for the rest of my natural life, if you like. But I'd appreciate it if you'd take it to me first, before involving other people.

Sincerely,
Bumblebee

Oh Tell me about it. I swear I would love to be a fly on a wall regarding some conversations regarding me. I always hear people say "Oh your being paranoid" But when you are dealing with people that are double agents and backstabbers how can you not be paranoid! I hate backstabbers too! There are too many of them and too many of them do things out of expediency
