Drama Drama Drama

I don't even know where to start with this post to be honest. The reason for this post was sparked as a result of what's been happening behind the doors at 50 Miller.

As of late, it seems the whole office is just buzzing with gossip and bitching. I mean, don't get me wrong it's probably been an ongoing thing even before I stepped foot into the building and started work with my fellow employees but it seems within the last 8 months, tensions are rising and whispers are getting louder and louder.

Honestly, nowadays when I come in each day, I don't feel like I'm walking into a corporate office of "professional" workers, I feel like I'm stepping back into the grounds of my High School. Is that fucked or what?

I guess it just goes to show that no matter how old you are or how mature you think you are, there will always be that part of you that wants to talk about others, which not only sucks for the person you're talking about behind their back, but adds fuel to any fire of the rumours that are already spreading throughout the building.

One other thing I don't like are people that fall under a label of which I'm not sure what name it should be. Those people who say that they will do something but then do the opposite. People who say they're 'not like like that' or 'don't do that' but then, the next day / week, are doing exactly that! People who talk on the downlow about other people, making comments about how others work - obviously negatively based when they're not so great themselves.
(By the way, I'm not putting anyone down with that last comment, I just think that no-one is the best at something. There's always room for improvement and more knowledge.)

Would the correct label be Hypocrites? Can someone please clarify / verify this for me.

The funny thing is, when people wanna vent about others they choose me to vent off to. In a sense, it's fine because they're not venting / bitching about me so it doesn't necessarily affect me. But on the other hand, when it all comes down to it, we all talk about everyone else. And though on a rare occasion, it may be positive... in reality, most of the time, it's negative.

You all know I need to vent on a weekly basis - whether it be through this blog or not. Sometimes we just need to let it out.

So why do we do it?

Are we all guilty of being insecure in some way that we secretly hope that if we talk someone down, it will help us with our own self-esteem?

With all the things I hear, it just makes me think: What else happens behind closed doors?

But with all the bitching / gossip / rumours / assumptions / drama, I've developed a thicker skin for it and have gotten better at separating the truth from the lies, the friends from the foes, those who I should keep at a distance, and those who I should not speak more than what is necessary to.

Sometimes it's hard to decipher who from whom, but I guess after working there from almost two years, you learn to keep your friends close and that's all that matters. As for the others, no-one said I had to make friends with everybody. Nobody's perfect and you can't like everyone you meet nor can you make them like you.

That's all.
