Let’s start off by saying that I went to an art school.
Even further, I was in theater, art, ECT… all of my life.
I tried sports a few times. Suffice to say it wasn’t my kink.

At any rate, I’ve never been exposed to a lot of right wing, tight-laced, emotionally inept 
individuals. But recently, I started working in an office. Which brings me, ever so 
schizophrenically, to my point; Office Politics.

The office politics are the retarded cousin to actual human interaction. Remember those 
horrible people in high school who spread rumors, started fights, played the popularity 
games, back stabbed, and were still, for some heretical reason, popular. Well, they grew 
up. They got jobs. They are in management positions.   

As a secretary, I am at the epicenter of employee gossip. I don’t know why they tell me, 
but they do. It’s an unexplainable phenomenon that is better left to future. But they tell 
me, and for the same reasons people watch reality television, I listen.

Am I the only one that doesn’t know how to play this vile game?  People Lie, steal, sleep 
with bosses, get people fired, get relatives hired, sleep with employees, and take diet 
cokes in the fridge even though your name is written right on it! IN BIG BLACK 
MARKER! YOU JUST DON’T MISS THAT! 

Why does the office place display the most horrendous aspects of our culture? How are 
people ok with this? Are they so deluded and so self-involved that they fail to see how 
hurtful this is? And it even extends further! These people roam our world, order from our 
Taco Bells, call our Tech service help lines, and they are unstoppable! They are 
unstoppable for one blaring reason; they see themselves as “ok”. They see nothing wrong 
with anything they do. You can try to tell them. They will only focus their evil on you.

The only thing we can do is self-improvement. We have to look inward and say,” No! I 
will not be party to the destruction of anyone but myself! I will keep my neurotic fears 
and insecurities inside and not inflict it on those who surround me. I will not step on 
others to further myself. I will not take other’s things in the fucking fridge, especially 
when it is plainly and UNMISTAKEABLY marked!”
