Lie and Manipulate

So I flipped through 5 different kinds of office politics books today at the book store. This is what I got out of it... and it's what I need to become an expert at in order to survive in this place.

Lie and Manipulate... and stop being an asshole when I get stressed out.

The asshole thing is pretty crazy.... When I get overwhelmed, all of the sudden everyone around me become dumb bricks... Immobile, useless, and needy. I end up attacking the nicest people... people who I really really like. That's really not cool. So I need to chill out and stop feeling like I have to do it all.... My mom told me that when it gets that bad, I should just give-it-up.

I think that my boss is dumb when she's freaking out. It's hard for me to do what she tells me to do when she's freaking out and being irrational. I just look at her like, 'You're dumb and freaked out.' This is why I get fired from jobs.

lie and manipulate.... Hrm. I think what that means is that I can get better at predicting, or thinking about what the other person wants. People who are dense, and can't realize what the other person want, is definately dumb to me.
