Office Politics?

Postby Basra- » Fri Aug 23, 2013 3:19 pm

I think I am very adept at Office Politics. By nature, I tend to have the natural skills to read people and manage them quite
well. However, the ONLY time when I cannot "Manage" a situation is when there is what I call "fatal attraction". Then, I abandon all my usual generic method of managing and controlling. SO, lately, there has been a situation in my circle of close co workers. I tend to minimize with people I socialize with at work, I only have a maximum of two people I am close with, a male and a female. Both equally close to me as I treat them the same. I am devoid of any feelings, so anything human like caring for one over the other is foreign to me. You guys are absolutely correct when u say I am a robot here at Somalinet.

So here is the dilemma. The Male friend has a major crush on me. (it could be classified as a fatal attraction). I am not surprised by that as many male (and some creepy female) have a crush on me at work. The female close friend has a crush on my male friend. Now, this news should be YIPPIE for me ma ha? Problem solved? Let them fcuk each other and GET OUT of my hair? :D But No, drama always follows the innocent and Angelic ones. The female friend is on a vigorous office politic attack on me. She purports to say, she is my best friend, yet goes behind my back- sabotages me, and lately-- what pissed me off more than anything is-- we had a threesome fight. (yeah, u wish. I am not talking sexually lol) I had a fight with the male who annoyed me by his many actions of professing love to me. In an exhausting heated argument-- this female friends suddenly injects herself in our argument, verbally attacks me and is nakedly taking the side of the male without a drop of discreetness and friend fakeness that I am used to see in her. :o I was deeply offended. :x How dare? I said! Anyway, to cut a long story short- after that heated fight-- nowadays, the two have been very close. I guess-- I should be glad as I have achieved my goal. HE leaves me alone--she leaves me alone, and everyone lives happily ever after. Here is the problem-- I have become friends with a beautiful lady from Spain who just started work recently-- we have a lot of shallow, self absorbed things in common. Then, what is the problem? The female friend is hating on the lady from Spain.The male friend Is after me again. I mean-- how does one make someone else STOP loving them? The female friend--has been ignored lately, and she cant hate on me as the battle lines have be drawn-- so she is not a problem for me now. (but she is hating on my new friend, so technically it is a problem for me)

My fundamental important questions is: Why do people fall inlove with people who don't return the favor? Why is the law of love complicated?

Second, why r humans naturally hateful and aggressive? Why does this B!tch see me as an obstacle to her man? Why cant she be intelligent and mature enough to know-- his lack of love to her has nothing to do with me! :x

Third, I can't think of a third philosophical question for now. :lol:

Don't confuse human beings with women. Women are spiteful, dumb, hateful, vengeful creatures. You should slap her around a bit and put her in her place.

People can't help who they are attracted to. I don't know if it's love as love is not the same as attraction and desire. Someone who won't give up pursuing you, if you don't have feelings for them, are just plain annoying in my opinion. Those who are aggressive and act hateful towards others, unless they have been wronged, are usually individuals who are unhappy with themselves and their own lives and bitter. Women who try to tear down other women because of jealousy are usually petty, vain, and insecure. I had a friend like that too. Funny thing is that when she was ostracized by our classmates, I took pity on her and befriended her. :? That wasn't a good decision.

Being the only black man in the office, I keep the fock away from the whites. They have bullshid office politics, eat lunch together, and drink together. I don't mind and make sure to lord it over them when they fock up. I am the fellow who dots his "i's and crosses his 't's. Yet I do find it annoying when they send me to focked up places to clean up the shid that they stirred up. I warn them again and again not to lead people on about potential business and not deliver on those promises.
