Scapegoat or Red Herring?

Definitely a red herring.

Always be vigilant, like an always vigilant thingy

I'm getting that feeling again. I feel like I'm dead weight or something around the office. Please let me know if you need my help, like if you need a giant paperweight or something..

Go Crazy? Don't mind if I do!

Well it's time to dust off the old war chest and take a look at what is there in. Let's see what we have here...hmmm....this doesn't look too promising...

Darn paperwork...

I hear this is everything

But then again, my hearing isn't as good as it once was.

Everything's there for a reason

So if you see me out there rubbing my face against

the side of the house, I'm just doing my part.

Liberating!

I feel poised to achieve greatness!

My computer is functioning,

I have all the information I need

and I have time to get the job done!

Or I drank waaaaay too much coffee and

I'm hallucinating again.

If you work on a team, you have a responsibility.

Like a well oiled machine, team members work fluidly together to

accomplish a goal. When working together, a team member

has a specific responsibility and role. A role is clearly defined

and vital to the success of the team.

Perhaps you recognize a specific role below:

The cheerleader - perky is your middle name.

When things get REALLY bad,

you sneak up to people and exclaim, "Yipee!"

You are important because you make management feel good.

The Leader - you sometimes resemble a lion tamer without a whip...

you have my sympathy. You are a task master, a babysitter,

a mother and (when things are really bad) a fall guy.

Management may or may not like you, it depends on if the weather is nice.

I shall close with the above poster, the Devil's Advocate.

It may be an important role but it is the least favored in

the eyes of management or team members.

You ask questions and you make everyone think or

you make everyone do extra work.

Essentially, you make people feel bad. Dude, you got guts!

Bad Day

Normal, normal, everything is normal.
Time to go home and have a rum and Coke.

Relationship:

Awe, relationships...can't live with them, can't live without them.
(I just hope that you and I aren't getting the raw end of the deal).
