Frustration

Why is it that some people do not understand very simple things? If I send you something you ask me for, why not review it, come back to me to talk through it for futher ideation/brainstorming, THEN go to someone else for more insight. Nope, not so much for me. I just get bypassed in all the middle steps and it drives me NUTS! Something I don't think is going to change here anytime soon, which makes it seem pointless for me to stay. Well, of course I'll stay, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating! Why would someone so consistently overlook someone else and not even realize it. Is there some interaction I am missing? Am I supposed to be doing something that I am not? Should I not get so upset about this? I can't not get upset about this because it hinders my professional growth.

I guess I just have to go back to one of my favorite quotes "Don't wait. Go get 'em. No one's giving you anything. You want to wait, you'll be waiting a long time - by yourself." -Dana Wade, SpikeDDB

On the flip side of that quote is: "To earn respect you have to do more than just order people around. The key to being a good leader is to work harder than everyone else." - Paul Cayard, Champion Sailor
