what someone told me

Post Reply New Topic

When I was working my boss would always indirectly tell me stuff.....He wouldn't necessarily say do this or do that when giving advice he would speak from experience. So to the point, one day he kept telling me and i think he told me a couple of other times that he had a guy work for him that was a genius but ended up not doing anything with his life and lived at home with his mom. I'm trying to figure out why the hell he told me that. My boss wasn't an idiot and he had been through a lot of stuff. He went to war a couple of times, had a couple sh***y jobs with a bunch of sh***y people. Had a bachelor degree with 200+ credits and yeah I'm trying to figure out why the hell he would tell me that. I don't think he did that great in school, but I think that was because he had a smothering mom. He was always telling me about his mom coming to him about her problems and how he did crappy in certain subjects because of that. It didn't sound like a fair life at all. He was a great person just that he had been through so much crap in his life that made him sh***y at school and life I guess and crappy job where he had to constantly deal with people all the time. I have a feeling his was an aspie also. Also I think he said that because of his scatter brainedness or something but idk. he was very scatter brained, jumping from one thing to the next.

I wonder if he is trying to tell you a hidden message. I wonder if he is hoping you use that example and do what he wanted you to do. It was like a subliminal message.

Im thinking that too. He had probably figured out how crappy the workplace is and didn't want me to do it or something idk. I have worked and seen some workplaces and have worked with some crappy people and makes me to not ever work again. But im hoping that kind of childish play stops at a higher level but idk because ive hung around some people who worked at a big bank downtown and were up there in the banking world and also school teachers and didn't like what i heard. Also at ups, the lady interviewing me said thats what she hated the most about working at ups, was the politics and what she had to do to get to her position. Its either you have to be in a circle or gain respect of some sort to not be talked down on. My chemistry teacher too, he said when he started teacher chemistry he and his students had a nickname for a student in the class and would talk about him behind his back. He does it to me also, when I asked a question he said " since you asked it has to be a million dollar question, So Ill go over it again for you". Then i think that's when he told that story or another day. I feel like i built a bad rep in that class for asking too many questions and for answering too many questions and connecting the dots while the teacher is teaching. I'm trying to stop but sometimes I just cant help myself and do it. For example, we were going over acid base disassociation and when he finished I said " Since we now know the ph level of the H+ which was for i think acetic acid, I said that is the ph level of acetic acid right?" and a bunch of other times too.
That's the kind of stuff that annoys me. Maybe i just interpret what people are saying in a different way and it really gets to me. I can't stand when the underdog is treated like s**t. I always use to stand up for people like that but now i've learned not to because it really doesn't pay off except my lil brother. I respect him like no other, he has kept quiet his whole life and has never complained about ANYTHING. It is amazing. He is 20 btw. He has a good head on his shoulders too. I don't think he could do harm to anybody.
I think my problem is that I interpret what people say in the way they didn't mean and care too much that they said it or over think it. It annoys the hell out of me because I feel I could be way more productive If i didn't do that or care too much about certain people. Im just trying to figure out this crazy world, I wasn't very social when i was in my teens, I had my friends and would hang out about every weekend and was pretty sheltered I guess then i come to college and hang around different places and am throwing off and can't get use to it. I've built up blocks before so ill probably just have to build one up for this. This site is definantly helping me cope with this though knowing im not the only one who goes through this type of occurrences day to day.

It seems like a hidden message to me.
