Need to Vent a Little Bit

I really don't have the passion to keep a journal going it seems, but sometimes the space limitations of Twitter or FB statuses aren't enough to get my thoughts down.

First, everything is going great, and I am happy with my life. I got married, got a raise, and bought a house. Things are just perfect!

Now, although this doesn't anger me or pose any threat to my happiness, I just need to express some hard feelings about the attitude of a certain person at my job. I can handle people complaining about some aspects of the job because, like most things in life, there are always areas that could be improved and there are people who are aggravating.

I am irked because this guy who's leaving my work does not see how amazing some aspects of this job are. I know he is surfing the web a lot, going outside to take naps, and basically putting down the company all the time, but we all leave him alone because he does his work, and he does an alright job. Anyone who's been in the workforce for a long time knows that it's tough to find full time work in a stable company which isn't going to get on your ass for bullshit outside of whether you did your job. I am coming from a past job where all internet was blocked and we were told to "look busy" on a regular basis, even if we did our work. This is the first job I ever had where people haven't nagged me to look busy at all times. They give you real work to do or they let us do our thing. No one wants us to look busy or dress up nice just to keep up appearances. All anyone really wants here is that you do your damn work. It's a beautiful thing.

I really don't care that people might want to leave my job, because it's not exactly the most exciting work, but I don't like if people are going posting public insults on Twitter about stuff that happened at work and making it seem like this evil stupid place. It's not even close to the worst place this guy will work in his life, unless he's the luckiest guy who ever lived. Eh, maybe he is.
