Well working at X today was lovely. I do not claim to know everything about working in the corporate world, because basically I don't! I don't have all the experience that most of the people at X do, they know a lot more than I do. But please just let me say this, I DO have people skills.
I can hold my own on a conversation with a person at any age and from any walk of life. I pride myself in this. And I know when people are trying to one up me, trying to be rude, etc. I was in a sorority, trust me I get it. And I've seen how frat guys get things done, scary to think how many Greek affiliated men end up running Fortune 500 companies. Check this out it you don't believe me: http://studentaffairs.utep.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=45674
Where am I going with this? Basically, I am very glad that I am learning more about how companies work and what not and that I am gaining more experience. I know that no matter where I work, politics are always going to be part of the deal. I'm fine with that, I can play the game. Political Science was my major, I actually really do enjoy politics. But I have really just come to the conclusion that many many people lack common basic people skills today.
It saddens me and today it infuriated me a little too. So in addition to world peace, for Christmas this year, I would like to wish that in 2011 people learn how to deal with people again. Instead of worrying about the newest iPhone from Verizon that's rumored to come out in 2011, (which I do want BTDubs), I just ask that people just connect with real actual people again. I absolutely love the new commercials from the new Windows phone. It basically sums it all up for me. "Like REALLY?"

p.s. After talking with one of my lovely fellow Belizean friends tonight, I realized how lucky I am to have such an array of crazy and great people in my life. So thanks to all of you in my life, especially the ones who actually read this lol. This is from Belize and I love it cause it's always important to remember that no man is an island...

ok so were ppl one-up-ing you at work??? thats strange. but i guess if my teacher is calling us his "future colleagues" but still holds his power over our heads, we should just call it LIFE. (unless the ppl one-up-ing you were men, then we need call it INEQUALITY and become feminists)
...just saying
p.s. take me to that island!
