INCOMPETENCE

i have been made to compromise on the very things i've held as my expertise.

this happens because i simply cannot arm-twist students into being responsible and to doing what i think would get us that A-grade.

i am absolutely appalled by how inconsistent and shoddy some people can be.

and what's even worse is how these people seem to think that they are "good enough".

i hate settling for less. seriously.

i pride myself on being good at what i do.

and i know what i do well.

so when people get sloppy at things and do not meet deadlines, i blow my top.

i could be outright bitchy in the office, because everyone would get that it was more about the issue than it was about them.

but i can't seem to be too bitchy in school, because some of the people i work with will not appreciate that i just want us all to do well.

sigh.

i was put into the school mainly because of my work and life experiences.

it sure seems like these very experiences could lead to my undoing.

i refuse to be deemed incompetent because the people i work with are.

but i also refuse to be deemed the only competent one in a team because we are a team.

i hate cookie-cutter everything.

why are people afraid to be different?
