My office has blocked tblog access!!!

This is so horrible! I can't believe it! And I was just starting to write in my own very blog.

Sheesh. :( I wonder if it was because I was just browsing a little too much.... *contemplating*...

Well, I can see the individual blogs, but none of their themes, and just plain black text on a white background. Yuck. And I can't login or add a blog or anything. Depressing.

Looks like I'll have to save all entries in some file, and then come and upload it during the weekend. Not enjoyable at all.

Now for my rant of this week:

Some people are just so horrible. and some so weak and confused.

I'm fed up of watching people who're supposedly strong and *imagine* themselves to be great, trampling on others just because they are a crowd, and have other stupid people backing them up. I'm seeing this everywhere. And although I'm not the butt of all of it, I just hate seeing it happening to others. And I don't know if this is some phase or something, but I'm seeing more than one instance of this right now.

One at my workplace, where a guy I know to be really impossible when it comes to work, since he really has no skills other than a big mouth, and an attitude that says "I know it all" - being given the priority and even the right to trample on some other hard-working people of his own team, who just cannot say anything because this guy is a better "actor" than them. You know : put on that fake concern on your face, and express you anguish, distress etc,... take the verbal lead in meetings to prove that you are the person who invented the word "innovation" etc...

The other... well, that's part of a bone I've wanted to pick for a long time. There are these couple of guys I know who used to be senior to me and a friend of mine. My own verbal capability always ensured that people don't try to trample on me too much, atleast professionally, but this friend of mine always was picked on... by these all-knowing fellows... Sometimes I wonder if the bullying that starts in school never stops. You'd think that adults would act their age, but no.. you have adults of all ages acting like your own school bullies who had no other thing to do but show their muscle around. The only difference I guess wud be that then it was more physical. Today it is everything else.

The reason I'm in an anguish today, is that these guys came back for one of their own version of taking credit for something we'd done, and they had no part of it. I wouldn't have minded anyone taking my credit since I ultimately feel that if truth is on your side, its likely to come out and you be rewarded. But their way of claim really made me so incredulous, I'd really like to have made each guy stand in front of me, and shake them to their senses. My poor friend politely informed them that they couldn't really claim much since they weren't involved in it much anyway. And guess what happens. This whole group comes down on this friend of mine, and says things that you'd have to hear to believe. I couldn't believe they were being so childish, to say the least!!!

And me being me, I retaliated on behalf of my friend. As I said before, my capabilities ensure I don't get bullied so much, so they did a turntable, and asked me why I was defending my friend...

I was prepared for the fight, but what I wasn't prepared was for my friend to tell me that because of me, he/she is a victim.

You're wondering why I'm not mentioning the gender of my friends, or being so secretive about it. Well, the reason is both the cases involve male and female friends of mine, and I don't want anyone to think that these scenarios apply only to a certain gender. Its happening everywhere.

So what's the solution? And what do I do from now on? Stick my nose out of any sticky situations and not stick up for my friends, and justice? Do you agree with me, or do you think I'm just aggravated for nothing?

What do you think?
