knobhead

in every department there is a prick. unfortunately for me i moved desks a couple of weeks ago and now i sit next to him. nobody else gives me any shit at all. they are all nice guys who are easy to get along with. even my boss is relaxed and laid back and always talks to me in the right way.
the guy that sits next to me just constantly whines about how i do stuff and whether the proper procedure was followed. its not like there is documentation to follow for every scenario, that we all have to follow. we kind of just go along with how we think we should do it and no one ever complains except for this guy.
i think he seems to think that he is the manager of the team, he is not, and that he needs to teach and guide us and show us how things function here. a typical example of someone that has been in a company too long, is institutionalised and knows deep down that they are shit at what they do and knows that they can't survive anywhere else, and so puts people down to try and make himself look good and important.
i am cool with it because i am off next week on my course and my contract is up at the end of the year, my last day being december 29th and then its into the great unknown in 2008. i am curious at how things will pan out in the new year. i can take all his shit and just smile back at him. he can't get to me or upset me because i know that i did my time here and that i am moving on now and that was my intention from the start. i can work with other people and get on with them proffessionally and i don't ever feel the need to put people down in public to make myself look better. i do put people down behind their backs, but only if they are arseholes. :-).
if you have an arsehole at your company and they give you shit all day, don't let them get to you, because you know you are better than them, and deep down they know it to. thats why they do it.
