How to avoid conflict with other human beings you have to be around…lol..Venting = Regret and disappointment in oneself.

  Last week, I had vented to my manger in our office about how people were taking my snacks.  Usually I’m an easy going person but since coming back to my old job you could say I have a chip in my shoulder.  I realized that I wasn’t the gullible looking to make a good impression with the management.  For me, I went back to my old job because there was new management and potential raise in earnings. I had other offers bombarding me with high salaries and potential to grow in oil companies in the downtown core.  Instead I took an okay paying one to test it out.   What I have learned.  Venting vocally never leads to good working conditions.  Since I can’t really see where people are in regard to my desk and the office door, I should have been more cautious about speaking about others in the building. Note to everyone, you never who may hover around the entrance of your office and be sneaky to try to use what you say against you.  I know that I usually don’t care about how people are around my snacks but lets just say that it felt like people helped themselves to my snacks and I spent about 20 bucks on snacks that lasted for 3 days.  For a girl who has to pay off loans, and living it’s a treat more than anything else.  I guess excessive venting could always bite back and you become very humble.  I am disappointed in myself that I didn’t handle it better.   I feel bad but it is a good learning experience about being professional and being a baby..lol…Yes I do admit it, I was a sore sport and just had too much going on at home to be more thoughtful.  I guess you could say, being selfish or snobby against someone that people may not like can’t be good for you at all.  I was taught to treat others with respects.   New leaf, just breath, don’t over react or a drama queen.  It wasn’t pleasing in the movies and it sucks when you are giving it or receiving a bunch of overrated verbal crap.  How do I gain people’s trust, realize that sometime people just need to be told how their actions annoy you in private instead of talking about them with another co worker.
