No More Drama!

I was contemplating a post for the day and life inspired me. Drama! I tend to live a nearly drama-free life. I usually avoid conflict if it can be helped. I 'logic' around arguements when possible and consider myself a very peaceful easy going guy. This doens't mean I don't step in a pile of drama every once in a while. Latest examples would be a minor misunderstood communication with a co-worker where he thought I blew his ideas off when I was just being busy and only gave a short explanation. (This was later fixed in a guy manner when the offense was pointed out and quickly explained and smoothed out, so the drama, however small, ended.)

I then today stepped in a small pile of drama when I stuck my nose into a friendly blog-friend's (and real friend of my wife) business and basically was making a point about my views on what a child should be exposed to. This was very much not my business and I should have kept my mouth shut in the first place. (No big drama resulted but some discussion was had over it and I send my apoligies to the lady.)

So, small drama may enter but oh my gosh do I get to see big drama going on around me. Whether it be some relatives showing their butts or they latest thing at work. Shock and Awe is a battle tactic which also describes how word of how one lady at work, who was displeased with another decided to accuse her of trying to steal one of the guy-co-workers away from his wife and trying to have an affair!!! Oh my drama! Now, I tend to stay out of the drama loop but one of my car-pool co-workers happens to be the woman who is 'In-The-Know' about EVERYTHING that happens at work. So on the way home got the the low-down on the whole story.

I quickly told the 'Know' person that the story was completely ridiculous! As I am having an affair with the girl in question and my bud Mike quickly pointed out that it was wrong because he was having an affair with the guy in question! So they couldn't be after one another or having a secret affair as they are taken by us!

Needless to say this false 'joke' rumor is all over the office now. (As intended, as I obviously told the correct person who talks to everyone.) The purpose of which was to add humor to the situation and maybe help relax the atmosphere.

So to wrap this up, I will say that one thing that life teaches you is that there is no such thing as 'No-Drama', because you can be guaranteed that drama will find you no matter how much you try to avoid it. The only thing you can do is decide how to best handle the drama life gives you and grow from it. -David
