So I’ve been told …
This week I’ve had the great opportunity to watch a person’s actions turn right around and bite them in the ass … and I’d be lying if I weren’t a little bit giddy about the whole ordeal. When a person is in the habit of doing and saying horrible things about others it’s bound to catch up right?
It’s been my experience that people who manipulate get away with it so long that we don’t get to see the full consequences catch up, but fortunate for me I’m still around to see this person get what they deserve. I’m not usually one to wish harm upon anyone, so I was surprised at my delight in someone’s misfortune.
I’ve watched this person lie more times than I can count, watched her manipulate her co-workers but most of all, this person lacks a conscious. She seriously has no regard for others (including her family) but herself. She is the epitome of selfishness.
So when I heard that her supervisors finally saw through her sham and that they actually took action against her I laughed. Not the, “funny ha ha” laugh but the “it’s about fucking time” laugh. I actually had the urge to send her a text, but then it struck me. What kind of person mires in another’s misery? And then I answered my own question … woman like her. I don’t want to be anything like her, so instead I thought I’d throw up a blog about Karma (no I’m not a believer of Karma but continue on … )
Too often we place our hopes, fears and worries into some mystical concept. “I sure hope I get that job” translates into “I’m afraid I won’t get that job.” Stop hoping for things and just do them. If your worried you won’t get the job, fill out another application (or 100, whatever eases your fears.)
I had “hoped” that this person would get what was coming to them, but in reality I was afraid that she would continue to get away with it. Instead, I should have realized that you can only slip and slide in the snow so many times before you fall on your ass. Well, ex co-worker liked slipping in the snow and I should have known that eventually she’d fall on her ass. I have wasted too much time and concern on things I can’t change, and this ex employee is proof of wasted time and emotion.
There is no designed plan of the universe. It’s a bunch of chaos, but with enough time and patience, you find an order to it all. Don’t let other people’s chaos interfere with the time you should be spending finding the order of your own chaos.
