I am not sure I have ever worked with really arrogant people before but there are two new people on our team and they are driving me crazy! When I am new I dont presume I know more than the people who have been there for ages and I certainly wouldnt decline their help and advice on the grounds that I knew better! One person feels when in meetings with external bodies that they will be interested in hearing her entire (and boring, not v impressive CV) -actually all they want is the name and the person she is replacing! The other has never done this type of work before and simply refuses to accept that he isnt doing it anything like properly yet because we are all carrying his weight for him! Yesterday he announced that our jobs are merely procedural and that he couldnt have found an easier one! HOw to wind up your new team no end ! I admit I am probably far less tolerant of these people than I should be but I do hate arrogance and selfishness more than most things in life and when two people combine both I do struggle to be bothered to even talk to them !
My godson is 10 today! 10! That is just ridiculous. Where have the last 10 years gone? He'll be leaving home and all sorts before I even blink ! What our parents used to say to us is just so true- we do grow up just so quickly!
