Have you ever worked with people who— is it on? Sometimes I smile when I'm pissed off and it's just like, have you ever worked with people— no, that's not even true, I'm not even working with them. Have you ever been surrounded by people who are so foolish or blinded by rules that all they see is rules and regulations and red tape, and instead of actually seeing the goal or the solution, they find a problem for every solution? Like, they're just riddled with it. And that could be a friend, it could be a colleague, it could be a lover. People exist in life like that. Just, they always, always, always are negative. Like no matter what the hell you do, no matter what you're trying to do, how hard you try, they'll just find the fault. That's all they'll focus on. And boy oh boy, can it be tiring. And I'm glad we don't have anyone on the team like that.
