Don’t Be A Stephanie

A Stephanie, every work place has one, a simple minded creature that has managed to get (through dubious means) a position of power that is generally 5 levels above their abilities. They continue to climb the ladder through other peoples hard work, a lot of bullying and general sucking up to those above, whilst continually putting those (they consider) below them, down, generally in the worst possible way. Everything that went wrong is ALWAYS someone else‘s fault, and through the magic of hindsight (and after the fact “I told you so’s”) they always can prove they where right.
Their technical prowess is phenomenal (always after someone else has presented the concept several times to them in crayon drawings), and your implementation of their solution is always bad.
Their concept of what “EVERYONE” else is doing wrong, is legendary, and there ability to “KNOW” exactly what needs to be done, (if only the board of directors would hurry up and ask), is known far and wide.
They can be defined and identified by the short and abrupt, 6 to 12 month contracts, as the hiring company generally moves on as soon as possible, but unfortunately, like a fart in a space suit, they hang around long enough to cause grief and harm before being released back into the wild.
Should be avoided at all costs if possible, if seen in the native wild, multiple beatings with a big stick may cause some short term relief, but be wary of any long term acquaintance.
There is no know permanent cure.
An implementation is going slightly off the rails with some minor issues, someone points out how they should have done what I said all along, the response “Don’t be a Stephanie” will normally bring things back into alignment.

Someone points out the ridiculous changes being made to make the company better (when there is nothing wrong) - the comment “Gee xxxx is really being a Stephanie on this one”.

Stephany

Has a big crush on that one skater boy for a year now.
And she do.
She really do.
She could see his stories,
She love how he love skating

She used to have an interest about skating before.
But she can't seem to do tricks more than balancing herself on the board.

She can't help but notice
His mental state, she knows what it's like
Been there done that.
Not to lie, I just want to give him a hug.
Felt like he might need it.
But... I don't really think he need MY hug
Given that he don't...
Really know me, but I couldn't care less if he did or not.
Also, sometimes I could sense that he doubt himself too much.
Although I don't really know him like KNOW HIM
But I could tell he's a good person.
He's capable of things people can't

Like...
Doing a flip or a trick on the board and at the same time being devilishly handsome.
He's qt,

He really is.

She never really had the courage to just type HI
And send it.
And she think she could list hundreds of things that makes him more attractive
1. Skating skill
2. Cool beenie
3. Nice curls, and so so much more
And I'm not obsess with him no way

I just like him too much.
And she worry alot about him.
Or maybe she just care too much about him.
Sam is such a loser when it comes to that one ig user named skateloner. Oh that rhymes call khaled and gang we bout to rap.
Anyways cheer up dear dave.

Yours truly Stephany♡

stephanie ellen

She's been through a lot in her life. She is drawn to helping others. She is beautiful, but unaware. The right mix of brains and humor, it's no wonder people are drawn to her. Her friends seek her for advice and a shoulder to lean on. Stephanie's are thinkers, dreamers, loyal lovers and compassionate friends.
