Many in the world believe in Karma, which is loosely defined as believing that your behavior governs what happens to you: you do good and good things come to you and you do bad and bad things come your way. Pagans version of karma is that what you do comes back to you threefold.
I’ve seen karma work too many times to not believe in it, but there are days like today when it is really hard to wait for karma to take care of the idiots and incompetents in the world (okay that’s a really unblisslike statement, but it’s been a rough day). I work with a group of insultants (i.e. consultants) who think they are smarter than everyone else in the company and who treat employees as if they are brainless minions.
Fortunately, for me there are forces in the company working against the insultants and we’re playing the political game until we can show them the door. I have a tendency to not play well with idiots and I’m having to spend a lot of time biting my tongue and pasting a smile on my face to deal with them. It’s difficult for me to deal with because I’m very pragmatic and like to plow through the BS and get the job done versus talking about the work instead of doing it. I keep telling myself over and over that Karma works because EBC went bankrupt.
EBC was the last moronic insultant firm we worked with and after 15 months of misery (mostly mine) we cut our ties with them and shortly there after they went belly up. They exhibited the same moronic tendencies that the most current thorn in my side is: arrogance, not listening, thinking they know more than people who’ve been there forever, etc.
So tomorrow when I go into work, I’ll be taking very deep breaths and consoling myself that someday very soon I’ll be enjoying the same karmic bliss I experienced when EBC went belly up. It’s just a waiting game.
PS: I know this is a more snarky and sarcastic blog entry than I usually write, but they’re really driving me nuts.
