There are people in my office who think I am some kind rule enforcing maniac when in truth I hate the rules. I would like for everyone to not be assholes, work hard so we can achieve our objectives and therefore be proud and get big bonuses. I could care less who takes 4 breaks a day or wears flip-flops if they get their shit done but the don't and then I have listen to the yelling in the management meeting.
