Yeah, I'm just a bit irritated today.

I'm getting blamed by someone for something I didn't do, and the person doesn't wanna listen to reason, and for an even bigger kicker, I'm not supposed to communicate with them.

Yes, the person who asked me to let it ride can do that, and I won't go behind their back to do it, but it's still slightly irritating that this person can make all kinds of disparaging remarks about me and I can't even defend myself from them or talk to them and explain the who thing.

Oh, I don't blame the person who told me to keep my mouth shut. I have a bad rep for going off half-cocked on things, so it's just common sense to keep me standing back with my mouth shut.

The biggest thing, is that the whole thing made it so I'm kind of soured on ever taking another job like that again.

Now, I will admit, I am at fault in a few ways. Number one, I didn't go up the chain when it became obvious to me that what I was working with was not a finalized draft. I didn't just go ahead and walk away from the job when it got over-complicated. I didn't keep pushing certain things.

My biggest sin, was I didn't take all the problems to my boss.

I'll admit, the project got delayed while I recovered from pneumonia and damn near dying, but not all the delays were my fault, so I'll take partial blame on the time it took to get the project done. But I'm not taking total blame on the delay.

The other 3 problems, I refuse to take the blame for.

However, I don't really care about who is to blame for what, I'm more interested in getting the whole damn thing fixed.

Personally, I don't care if I'm working on the rebuild or not.

And if the person who is handling it all wasn't a personal friend of mine, you couldn't get me to revisit this project in any way shape or form. Not for triple standard rates, not for anything.

So I'm irritated, but it will pass.
