Jabari’s Wisdom

It's really annoying.  And I can already read the comments made by self-conscious people who feel I'm calling them out: "Oh, you’re just saying this because you’re short.” No, no, I'm saying it because your parrots sound ridiculous.  It's the opposite of cute when you've heard the same exact quotes a million times before.  Like the dudes who fall for that cringe mess are themselves dudes who think a height differential between themselves and some girl makes them seem more interesting or manly or cool.  It's pathetically insecure.  But then again, maybe it's a match made in heaven.  Two boring individuals get together and help denoise the dating pool for me.  If a girl I was into said “I’m so short" as some type of attention-seeking quote more than 2 times, I’m dropping her.  Simple as that.

Future Jabari here.  Yes, that one supervisor consistently was like that.  At some point, she was luckily moved to a different belt, and for the most part, it was so chill.  I still didn't like doing the ups work, but I had a much better time.  Then, those few times they moved me to different belts, and she was the supervisor that was on that belt, annoyances crept up once again.  So, personally, my theory is the typical thing where when someone is new to a team or company or group, some people hide their true self until a certain point where they can't hide it anymore, and then boom, you see the real them.  For this supervisor, it was that they were seemingly helpful in the beginning.  Being a nitpicker and back-seat driver made sense during early periods when I first joined since I didn't know much, so I didn't see how annoying they were.  It was only when I actually got a handle of things that the nitpicks and micromanaging got intolerable.

Many things to talk about. Surprisingly I was able to do all of them in the exact amount of time I estimated. Crazy. Im getting better and better at rambling. And minor spoiler....but the update is interesting to listen to as a future me.... It'll probably be even more interesting to listen to when it is scheduled for release...

It's an obvious observation but still seems so crazy that it's a thing.  Like, for example, someone who will likely be a murderer might unintentionally and unconsciously dress like one.  Or say undercover cops, for people who can point them out in a crowd, they literally dress...exactly like an undercover cop would.  Like it’s unconscious groupism.  And apparently it's quite hard to break because seemingly everyone does it.  Yes, even you.  The only way to break it would be to be a part of so many subgroups at once that you morph into a truly unique individual, but even then….you’d end up dressing or acting like that new subgroup you created and any other person who ends up having a similar idea would model after the newly formed subgroup and then make it easier for people to point them out in a crowd potentially.  Crazy to think about. 

Some people really shouldn't be in supervisory positions.  TBH, many supervisory positions in general shouldn't even exist.  UPS preloading is a perfect example of it.  I don't know what they actually do other than walk around and chat and then occasionally scan or talk on the radio.  Like some supervisors actually help when things get bad, but that's rare and not many.  So it ends up they get paid to just do nothing.  It's a waste of a position.   And worse, the ones who let that supervisory title get to their head, if anything, make the efficiency even WORSE.Like it'll always be interesting to me how some supervisors can have the nerve to ask why or accuse someone when they are running behind... as if if they did it they wouldn't do the same exact thing.  Like it's a strange poison to the mind of many who end up in management or supervisory positions. Power gets to people’s heads.  It's proof that as evil as many rich people are, if the average person got that rich, they'd do the same exact evil bs. Their morals mean nothing.  The only reason some of these people have "morals" is more of an envy thing.  They don't actually believe in it.
