Drama for you: Entertainment for me

I keep to myself at work. I have my own little area, and I take care of my business, and I try not to get into everyone else's business. I like it that way. Correction: I LOVE it that way.

See, we have a new, "big" boss at work.... he's been there maybe two months. Not long at all. My supervisor's boss. Everybody LOVED him when he was first hired. Oh, he's great! He has all of the qualifications and the experience.. blah blah blah. Where was I? In my little corner, watching it all. I know better than to judge someone I barely know. Yeah, sure, anyone can look good on paper. But that doesn't really say much of anything about the person, now does it? So, when people ask "What do you think of him?" What is my response? "I don't know anything about him yet. Wait and see." There really is no other answer to that question.

By now, I am sure you have guessed that in just two short months, this FABULOUS guy that looked so good on paper, doesn't quite meet everyone's high expectations. tsk, tsk....

The most amusing part for me is I saw it all coming so I can sit in my corner and watch the whole thing. I do my job, keep my nose in my own business (aka: no gossip! Listen, but do not, I repeat do NOT tell others what you hear!!) and no one bothers me. That includes big boss. I'm fortunate. There does seem to be quite a dramatic mess with everyone else at work. I'm not trying to be cocky by any means, but, come on, some people just ask for it, I think. They feed on the drama. Good for them. Just don't go complaining that you got burned after you added fuel to the fire. Roast Marshmallows and make s'mores! Make one for me, while you're at it, please? Lightly toasted, not burnt. mmmmmm..... thanks!!
