finding it hard to submit
**mood: frustrated
**noise: an annoying halloween laugh that goes off EVERY TIME someone walks past it...it gets walked past a ton...i'm glad it's yoga night!
i know i need to submit to people. i usually i don't have a problem with it. i let managers at my work make the decision even when i disagree. i may interject a suggestion here or there, but for the most part, i allow them to make their own decisions whether i agree with them or not and then just sit back and see what happens. i know that i've learned tons through all the MANY mistakes i've made...so i hope others learn through their mistakes. but sometimes i want to make a big stink when i don't agree. when folks are being silly and aren't thinking right i want to stop the presses and do it myself. i get frustrated when i don't understand. today, i didn't understand.
in starting my new job i get a new toy. a handheld planner. which i was really excited about. in my old job i had a blackberry, which i personally think are silly, so i couldn't wait to get a back to the basic palm pilot. i've used them all now..the palm, dell and blackberry. I had a dell for about 6 months and the entire time i wish i had a palm. so i got to order a palm yesterday. yea...
but alias, my new boss came in this morning to tell me that the IS guy here doesn't want to get a palm because he has just started ordering dells and wants to stick with them...dells are more than $100 more. we're ordering 2. we both would prefer palms...but if we want a handheld, we have to get a dell. so in essence, we are throwing away over $200 because our IS guy wants dells. end of discussion.
this makes no sense. he's worked with palms before. they aren't any harder to work with than dells..and they are way cheaper. but i can't do anything about it. i have to submit and take the more expensive piece of crap...
maybe i'm just being a spoiled brat because i'm not getting what i want. maybe it's me that sucks. i should be happy that i'm getting anything. yeah, i suck.
