Gagging

I’m really getting my ass kicked this week. From every direction. Most of it, I cannot talk about to anyone. Ever.

It’s the nature of the business. When I’m told that I’m gagged from talking about it, they don’t know how right they are….

I am just getting on firmer ground after early upsets this week when someone reads me an email that I wasn’t supposed to see. Nor was he. He thinks we should know and be prepared to defend our professional  reputations. I’ve developed a deep respect for this person and the way he stands up for people and doesn’t play the blame game.

It’s a rarity, to the extreme, in some career fields.

I hate the way some people have to save face by conveniently  sacrificing  other  people  who’ve  done  exactly what they were supposed to do.

I hate the idea of working with people with no honor. That more than anything makes me gag.

But one thing is for certain: I need to focus hard on changing career fields as soon as I can. I really don’t want anything else to do with some of these people, ever.

Okay, time to put a stop to this. No more of getting kicked like this. Things are changing as of tonight.
