Please lord grant me the strength to deal with fucking idiots

[drsketch]

at my job.. How do you deal with idiots at your job? Sandbaggers? just dumb as fuck?

I got my yearly review last week, everything excellent except it was noted I need to have more patience with people mistakes...


Fuck I hate people.

network engineer

I assume that has something to do with engineering networks.

I mainly have to manage peoples emotions. Believe me, it gets frustrating...especially when people dont listen to you.

Do you HAVE to interact with them?

I deal with 2 idiots at my place all the time. It is frustrating, but now I just learn to just let out a scream and then carry on and forget about it.

That's the core of the problem + laziness, it's not so much that everyone is blatantly moronic it's that they don't want to make the effort to do actual work, so stepping out oustide their comfort zone and listening to how they can do XYZ is not in their interest.

Then there are of course those that are simply dense like brick and require a lot of time and patience.

yes, they are technicians that work with me.. mainly one that I hate, you tell this guy to rebuild a pc, 10 hours later its done.

Actually, I find it easier as time goes on. Everyone has something that motivates them. Just find what it is and push it. Then people will do what you want them to.
