My attitude for work is officially "bad".
When I walked into the conference room at the hotel last Wednesday at 6:15, I looked at my coworker and said "Today, my general attitude is 'f*ck this sh*t'." I was fed up with people signing up for our classes without reading the schedule or the list of topics covered and then coming in with questions not related to what was being taught. The time spent saying "That is not a topic for this course, but I will be happy to answer questions about that during a break or after class" caused a 45 minute delay in the schedule and, of course, NOBODY stayed after to ask those burning questions that they had to ask and thus, divert the course of the, well, course.
When I called my boss to check in that morning, I expressed my displeasure with the attendees. I begged him to let me hurt them...just a little bit. He said "no." Piffle. Fine. I would kill a couple with kindness...minor mocking moments to turn their assinine questions into a shared joke that they would have to laugh with rather than admitting how stupid what they just asked really was, once they heard me repeat their question to them.
Yes. There are no stupid questions, but there are lots of inquisitive idiots.
The result? An evaluation score of 4.89 on a scale of 1-5. I guess my bad attitude paid off because, well, I didn't stress at all the whole day about it at all. Amazing what an attitude change can do, huh?
Of course, we'll see if I keep my job with this attitude change. If I can't, well, f*ck this sh*t, eh?
