All Sides, No Main Course

I'd been working for five hours without a break, catching up to tomorrow's orders so that she wouldn't fly into a frenzy if there was anything left for her to do and now she was leaving the lab without relieving me? Everything was finished, because I'm amazing, when I work to my potential. I was cool with her walking out the door; in fact, it was prefered. But, I wasn't going to do her order without first having some lunch. Not out of spite. I was just hungry.

I can see why they get angry. I can see why I lose motivation. I can see all sides, objectively. My vision is 20/20. The problem I have is in keeping diplomacy about me.

There was a sticky note waiting for me when I came into work: 'Interpersonal Relations Course Cancelled due to lack of interest.'

I had signed up. I'd been the only one. Maybe it is just me.

Then again. Maybe it's all of them.
