Why didn't I think of that?

While reading the YAM plan for 2010-2012 which Daryl sent to us, I found myself captivated by the level of detail (eg. CGs will "auto graduate" after 7 years; I mean, wow, detail) in the document. Under normal circumstances you would find me making a comment somewhere along the lines of a Dengist 4-year plan or something, but this time I must admit that it is rather exciting.

Those few minutes reading were the highlight of a dreary period in work where I must recently come drawn some conclusions after more than 4 months working here. It is indeed surprising that I did not arrive at these sooner, seeing as my judgment of character is, in my completely and utterly prejudiced opinion, rather flawless. I am glad my dispensability as an asset to the office is decreasing by the minute. The 2 of us original kids who came in from the jan enhanced batch have got to be the most valuable people in the entire place, apart from our respective bosses. And I now know this is recognized, which grants me some professional leverage. And if there is jealousy involved by some who seem to think that just because they've been there for a long time they are entitled to that, all the better. Such people, for all the show of being personally offended if someone missteps the slightest, are the most hypocritical slackers around, and I have made it my unexpressed goal to make sure people realise this. I've also realised that I need not bother explaining myself to such (insertyourownprefix)bags even in the least, as I should not have while leaving work today; their questions are not worth the breath of cigarette-tainted air it takes to be uttered.
