Thanks for Incompetency

Too bad I don't use tags in these posts. This one has to be labeled a rant.

It's not directed at anyone in specific. It's just a whole accumulation of straws on camel backs plus 6 massive things I have to get done on a Sunday in order to meet weekday deadlines because OTHER people have not been doing what they really ought to be doing.

So I'm having a bit of a full blown INTP/INTJ gripe at many many balls that have been dropped and never picked up by anyone... and here I am, with my OCDness and perfectionist sense of responsbility, knowing full well that if I don't pick up the fucking balls, no one else will.

Here I am, trying to delegate to others to help me out here, and it either comes back completed retarded and incompetent, or it doesn't come back at all (so what was the damned point again?)

Alright. I am being unfair. A few things come back that are helpful. Other things come back that are helpful, but not quite relevant to my immediate deadlines. Many operational things are in fact, in operation, and running really smoothly. This will be good a couple weeks from now once the immediate deadlines are cleared.

But the stuff I really need is all in a giant unusuable jumble that I have to compile anyway. Mostly due to prior incompetents being in charge of the stuff I need now.

So I am in a nice bleak happy Pit of INTP Despair/Fury/Self-Satisfaction nursing two quotes to my breast:

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. - Albert Einstein

Whenever two or more are responsible for something, usually nobody is. - David Allen


I need to frame these somewhere, I think. Just my lil way of getting back at an incompetent world. :/
