11th Grade, all over again

I was talking to my Mother, about how things are at my new job and i compared it to my Junior year of High School.

You see there was this teacher who had her head so far up her ass, she couldn't recognize a good paper for what it was worth and turned it in to the school board, as slander. It was about a failure to communicate with people who only saw things their way, who could not see things objectively.

She threatened to fail me. So my mother and I convinced the school board to have a different english teacher read and grade the paper objectively.

My opening line to the paper was a quote, from a movie:

What we've got here is... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it.
I don't like it any more than you men.

The movie was, if you do not know, Cool Hand Luke.

Anyway, So I feel very similar conflicts within my work environment and my supervisors here.
I'm with-holding detail as I am cautious they might find and read this.

But much like going to the school board, I am taking similar actions in the work place now.



Not to mention this whole place is full of all the immature behaviors of a high school. Especially Cliques!

F those 'tards and their lame excuse for running a casino like some sort of kindergarten class. Most casinos outside of Las Vegas are wannabe's anyway and can't hold a candle to the real deal. Get your *ss out of there and return to "The Meadows" as soon as you and the hubby can. Oh yeah......Happy New Year. lol : )

Good luck to you.
Your side-step from Vegas to an Indian casino appears not to have worked out too well. Sorry 'bout that, but if the Indian Casino has too many cliques and too many would-be tyrants... well, I guess you just have to Dummy Up and Deal until the great Return-To-Vegas-Day arrives.
