I have been asking myself this question for a few weeks now. See the leadership team where I work wants to go out this Sunday. What I'm suppose to think it free dinner, however I'm having a hard time getting past the fact that I can't stand half of the leadership team. That and its at Dave and Buster's. For those of you that don't know what that is, I will fill you in. Its an arcade for adults. Let me share with you a secret that my brother and his best friend know best. I was NOT good at video games when I was a kid. Let me assure you that in the years the oh 15 odd years that have gone by since then (in which I've not played at all), I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten any better. I could be wrong and all, as maybe there is some video game god that has come down and made me the queen of all things video. Until I see proof of that however I'm going to venture to bet I still suck.
This however as the title might have you imagine, is not the reason why I really don't want to go. The main reason I don't want to go is that I don't really care for half the people I work with. I don't really dislike all of them, but I do go out with the ones I care to go out with now.
According to those who set this whole thing up I'm suppose to think of this as a chance to get to know people outside of work. Here's my thoughts on that: If you can't pretend not to be a bitch at work, I don't really think your going to be a nice person outside of work. The way I see it is that you can dislike the way someone does their job, but not think they are bad people. But if your a bitch your a bitch, and if you can't hide that at work where you should be able to hide it a little, I don't really think your going to have many redeeming qualities outside of work. At least not qualities I find redeeming.
I know right now that my mom is say "You don't like anyone, or anything" And for the most part she would be right. However, at least I don't pretend to be something that I'm not. I'm the same person at work that I am at home. Well not excatly the same, but pretty damn close. The people I work with that I can't stand are those who pretend to be something they are not, and can't even manage to do a very good job at it. Am I suppose to want to hang out with people who would sell me out for a glass of water. Literally the people I work with are that bad.
Of course what do I know. I'm the one with the bad attitude. It is not the case however that my bad attitude is directly related to the fact that they don't do their fucking job. Maybe they are just to busy talking about my bad attitude. While there busy talking about my bad attitude I'm busy running a 22 million dollar store.
You will have to take note that they don't ever say anything to me about my bad attitude. Yes Yes mom they are afraid of me. Or better word would be intimidated by me. It's not my fault though, that I'm better at their jobs then they are. I may be a bitch but I'm a bitch who is damn good at her job.
The problem is that I have to go. Cause imagine the bad attitude that I would have if I didn't go. I hate to play this game. But I will do what I must to get ahead. I could have gone out on a date, but instead I'm forced to break bread with a bunch of backstabbing bitches. This should be fun. I'll let you know how it goes.

1 - i think it would be hilarious if you found yourself to be the best at dance, dance revolution.
2 - did you?
3 - b/c you went, you got props from those byotches. it may show over the next few days of work.
4 - was it as bad as you thought it'd be?
Alas it wasn't THAT bad. I still don't like some of the people I work with, and would not have openly chosen to hang out with them. I tried to drink enough not to really care, and there is always the fact that I do like some of them.
