The Weekend is Almost Here!!

I finally made it to Friday!

This has been a week full of surprises and a few disappointments . Yesterday, we had a meeting in our office. Without going into detail and releasing too much information, I had a co-worker who said they would have my back at the meeting and back me up on what I had to say at the meeting. We had agreed earlier on the points I was going to bring up. Instead, my co-worker did just the opposite and practically threw me under the bus. Their idea of backing me up was actually stabbing me in the back….with me being there. I am sure I had a very surprised look on my face when my co-worker said the opposite of what we had discussed earlier. I told this person after the meeting I was very disappointed in them and their actions…..but they did not seem to care. Needless to say, I have nothing more to say to them. They have already alienated a few people in our office, so they can just add my name to the list.

I hate back-stabbers and two-faced people. They are nothing but scum in my book. They have no real friends because they have alienated any friendships they had. I really never considered this co-worker a true friend anyway because of their know-it-all attitude and their arrogance. They feel they can do nothing wrong and they make no mistakes. I normally don’t associate with these type of people because of their attitude and arrogance, but I am always willing to give everyone a chance. This incident changed everything. I know who my true friends are….they are the ones who I can confide in and they stick by your side. They are intelligent, trustworthy, honest and keep things confidential. From now on, I am staying away from the know-it-alls and the arrogant ones. They aren’t worth my time. There are only a few people I can trust in my office to keep things confidential. They are friends I have trusted for a long time. That trust will continue unless someone betrays it.

Yesterday was a rather busy day at work and after work. I had to stay until after 6 pm last night so our night dispatchers could go to the same meeting I went to earlier that morning. Then, I had to head to south OKC for the October CFAAA meeting at fire station #9. I was late, but we had a good meeting. Even though I am president, I let the vice-president preside over the meeting because I could not talk very well (sinuses were acting up). We didn’t have very many members at the meeting, but we still had a good meeting.

The weekend is almost upon us. There is no REACT event this weekend, so my weekend is free and clear. There is going to be a presentation made to Cystic Fibrosis tomorrow in Chickasha (from an event our team worked three weeks ago), so several of us are going down there in the morning for the presentation. I should be back home by noon and have the rest of the day to do whatever I want to do.
