Ever have a project a work that piqued your interest? Made you want to work a little bit harder to help someone else that you could lend a helping hand too?

Ya, I’ve been there - in fact, I was there today - trying to make a innocent little campaign for another department something special - then you realize you are being used. The project manager leaves at 4PM while you look aghast - not understanding why he doesn’t want to see the project through. Then, his boss passes by and gives you even more reason not to help - after they threaten serious disciplinary action on one of their team members just for working on what the project manager’s boss terms ‘your project.’

First, not my project - it’s for another department - and I’m only trying to assist you in maximizing your ROI. But that - I guess - isn’t appreciated.

Doing something special is nothing new for me - that’s my specialty - and if someone doesn’t appreciate it - why do it at all? So I didn’t - I left them flailing in the wind - and hope that it all comes together due to a deep rooted need for the company, as a whole (what a unique concept), to succeed.

Anger takes different forms too - generally, I’d simply go home and figure out a method in which to drown my sorrows - and then just keep working, as I always do. Instead, tonight, for the first time ever, I didn’t even go straight home - instead I went to the bar. Yep, straight to the bar. Few Captain and Cokes (and no, I didn’t do the ’stance’) - and I’m ready for anything, so here I am composing this blog posting after a few and ready to take on the world again.

Greatness.

Something anyone can try to contain - but in the end - always shines - doesn’t it?
