Something Up With Which I Will Not Put

Just what is the point?

Yesterday I got the distinct impression that one of my colleagues was having a bad day - my naturally keen senses picked up on the subtle signs, which included slamming doors and saying things like "I'm fed up."

So, in an effort to make this person's morning a little brighter, I took a few minutes at the end of the work day to take care of a couple of little things that otherwise would have been up to this person. I figured that at least today would have a slightly brighter start than yesterday.

Reaction? Nothing. Nada. No thank yous, no sighs of relief, zilch. In fact, I got the feeling that this person was not entirely impressed with the way in which I did these little things - all of which are things I've done before, the same way, to rounds of applause and gushing gratitude.

End result: now both of us are grumbly. Hmph.

Of course, the moral of the story is f--- the rest of the world, they don't appreciate you anyway.

Grumble.
