How many people do you know who actually take the high road? I mean really, even if it means stepping up to an uncomfortable place and putting themselves out there?
Well, if you know me, that’s at least one.
I sincerely hope that doesn’t sound boastful. But I stepped up this week, and it bothers me more that I’m basically the first one who has said anything about an awkward situation that straddles both my day job and my business and that has been making me crazy; actually, not only me, but a bunch of people who haven’t said anything and who are all agog that I did.
So I made an appointment with The Big Cheese (not to be confused with the Baby Cheeses) and looked him in the eye and said “I’m going to be completely honest with you.”
And it’s something I don’t think he hears that often. Not that people aren’t honest with him but people are so used to jumping to whatever tune they think he’s playing that they don’t want to rock the boat, don’t want to stress him out don’t want to look as though they’re complaining.
Screw that.
There are too many people in pain, too many people getting trodden on (and no, not by him). I’ve been there before and I made a promise to myself I am NEVER going back there and if it means stepping up, making those appointments and telling the truth?
I’m doing it.
Of course, I am now intrigued… but well done, I for one, am proud of you.
Like the new Christmas wallpaper BTW…
Nice one – you’re a lot braver than most Deeleea!
