One Note to Self
Dear Me,
You have been very patient with Mr. Cool's incompetence but you also don't want to put your job in jeopardy. Clients have been complaining and despite your efforts to assist Mr. Cool while bringing up your concerns to the next higher level, you are stuck to give him immemorial time to improve in his honor. Meanwhile, your department suffers quarterly setbacks.
I know his weak work ethics irritates you. After probing Mr. Cool, he admits he has difficulty remembering things, for being disorganized, and having flights of ideas. He asks for leniency because of the disappointing symptoms. Admire him for admitting these symptoms but never cave in to his requests for easier tasks. He still has to perform his job well and submit those reports just like what everyone else does! The only difference is he is given ample time to complete and has someone to act as his personal assistant. Meanwhile, your department still suffers quarterly setbacks.
At times, you were unappreciated of the extra miles you did or do for him. For instance, you subbed many times without him lifting a finger to do his part as he nonchalantly walks away as if telling you,"Well, that's part of your job!" Yes, you do your job, but in return, he accuses you of picking on him whenever he's not able to comply specific tasks in a timely manner. You can feel your bloody nerves pulsate every time he acts as if he has never done those work routines before but you know he did. You think of common sense, but he thinks otherwise. Meanwhile, you see your department suffer from setbacks every quarter.
After all the years of putting up with him, starting today, decide to turn a blind eye on him. Why? It's pointless. He's still Mr. Cool, oblivious of how his actions affect the entire program and the people around him. Meanwhile, little by little, do you want to end up draining every single drop of life from your bloodstream for trying to make things right? No. Don't let his unmindful attitude affect your entire life. It's just work, nothing personal.
Today is the day to look at his actions differently. Don't let them annoy nor upset you, but learn how to cope with the situation without affecting your health and altering your personality. You still have YOU. Take care of yourself. Rejoice in whatever small steps he accomplishes. Look at this situation as your learning experience: Learn from his mistakes. Be kind. Be committed. Be grateful.
As for any unsettled tasks that involves Mr. Cool, don't try to make things right beyond your control. Accept things as they are.
You still have a life.
Take a break.
Breathe in, breathe out.
C'est le vie!
