Should I feel bad if I don't want to "be the best" at what I do?
Should I feel like some kind of talentless slacker because I just want do do what I do, but don't give a rat's ass if I'm the best at it, but just enjoying it.
Is that so wrong?

It's not necessary to try to be the best, but having a dash of self-respect would make a lot of difference to your life.

No. Just don't whine and bitch, because your low salary and crappy living condition are not the fault of some nameless rich person.

Yes, you should feel bad. In fact, you should feel like a pathetic piece of crap.
That's the problem with you libs, you just want to "enjoy" everything. Being good doesn't mean a damn to you. That's why kids aren't allowed to keep score in little league & soccer at a young age anymore....let's just have fun and not reward the winners. YOU libs are the losers in society, don't drag those of us who want to achieve down to your level.

Did he find another job he is going to be fired from for failing his drug test or is he still jobless because he got fired for failing his drug test?

I think he's perpetually jobless. He might get a job then fail the drug test, then rinse & repeat. At least that's what he keeps posting at the DUmp.

Without reading the thread, I can tell you that the first sentence is why this loser is never going to amount to anything. People like this douche should be barred from sucking on the government teat.

Taverner, you may not be on "TiT" level of lying, but you are pretty damn good at it. Buck up...

This has something to do with winning DOTY. The taverner primitive is an idiot, but he realizes that edging out nadin is going to take more effort, and he just doesn't have what it takes.
Com'n taverner primitive, you say really stupid things day in and day out. You're still in the running. Don't give up just yet.

Posting at the DUmp about one's problems is far easier than facing them and then overcoming them...

If you want do do, and do a do do job, don't complain when you receive do do.

7. No, in fact you've touched on one thing that's wrong with our society.
EVERYBODY can't be above average, except in Lake Woebegon.
We should be more accepting of the average, the so-so, etc. "mediocre" shouldn't be a put-down.

Sounds like the DUmmie should join the union. It's the only chance he has at ever holding a job and making a living.
While I was in business, I was known as the best, not the cheapest and people waited for me to do their work. With the attitude the DUmmie has, any business adventure he starts will fail and any job he gets, he will get fire.....and we'll hear how "THE MAN" is holding him down.

The problem with liberals is they expect the government (and taxpayers) to make up the difference in one way or another.

Being selfish and unable to function in a work environment normally is something inherent to the island swimmers character en masse. The logical excuses are usually two fold. It's someone else's fault and it's because they don't try. This has a ring of both excuses.

Nuclear Unicorn
9. What about your personal best?
Maybe you aren't Top 10 or whatever at whatever.
Are you doing the best that *you* can do?
Do you ask the best of the people around you? Your surgeon. The guy helping you carry the couch up the stairs. The employee cleaning the bathroom at the restaurant you're going to eat at.
No one of us is insignificant. That means we all have an impact on each other. That means we owe each other our best. Not for ourselves or self-enrichment but because the people whose lives we touch are our family, friends and neighbors.
This primitive starts out on the right foot, but then falls off the track at the end.
I agree, do the best you personally can do. But the motivation is to benefit yourself and your family, and the extention of that is it will help others. But I don't owe other people my best from the standpoint that if I do my best the nuclear unicorn primitive might on down the road benefit. I don't give a flip about the nuclear unicorn primitive. I do my best because it benefits me and my family.
Now, enter what liberals would like the USA to be and it changes everything. Why do my best when some bleeding heart will see I get what I want anyway? As has been noted throughout the ages, make it where people have no incentive to have to try their best and they'll quickly learn that just doing enough to get by gains them the same reward. By the time it's too late to reverse the trend, the experiment known as the USA is over.

Joining a union is certainly a big step towards not being the best.

Taverner (I know you come here to see your name in lights), you shouldn't feel bad at all, because your best obviously sucks. You've DONE your best. It's been revealed to be NOT GOOD ENOUGH to GET a job, let alone excel in one. You have nothing to fret over insofar as excellence is concerned. That's why you're a drug addict: you need a salve for that soul-shattering fact, that you are inconsequential.
Toke up, bro. It ain't getting any better for you.

H5 for getting rid of that horrendous caveman avatar. Bitchslap for changing it to a picture of a female gorilla. That's hard to look at.

What's disturbing about Tav is he's getting high and drunk while watching the kids. His wife doesn't seem to care.
Who wants to bet his wife is a stripper ?
-
How old is this guy? I thought he was in his 40's or 50's.
Stripper? I'm thinking meth-head.

They're not mutually exclusive, lol.

There is only one 'best' in anything and realistically almost everyone realizes deep down inside they aren't it, but those of us over here can at least say "I give it all I've got."
However, I suspect the concepts of either trying to the best of his own ability, or working to get better at anything, are totally alien to Taverner.

And that she's doing other "clients?"

Chris, he's about late 20's. Maybe you're thinking of Dainbramaged, who is late 50's but acts like a grade-schooler. A girl grade-schooler.
I think Taverner once said he lived for a while in a place like Thailand. Somewhere tropical like that. His kid, from the pic he posted, has slightly "exotic" features. So, I think he imported a wife from one of these hellholes, and she doesn't know any better how to call a stop to the shit he's doing.

Tavernturd still hasn't figured out, that in order to pass a drug test, it's best not to study for it. :stoner:

I thought everyone's IQ at DU was way above the average IQ by at least potato.

****ing loser. I don't care what job I work at, I work harder than everyone else and strive to be the best. I may not be the best, and I am not the best in my current job... far from it, but the boss appreciates my work ethic. Effort and attitude go a long way. I never turn down a project and I am never too busy to take another one even if it means working weekends. Yes I have failed... many times. I'm the first there and the last to leave. The boss appreciates the effort and it shows in my paycheck. I have never, ever had to ask for a raise. The money takes care of itself.
In case you missed it the first time, you are a ****ing loser.

For an alcoholic IV drug addict like DUmmy Taverner, "mediocre" is an unattainable dream.

Didn't Tav just interview with some Scandinavian company?

Nah. He just hallucinated while an ABBA song was playing.

True story.
At work, people tell me "they don't care" to do a good enough job anymore. They are always at the bottom of the list in performers. I don't even feel bad for them.

At work, there's two of us in my little section. My supervisor tells me that he hates to get on me for my occasional screw-ups because I "do 95% of the work." For example, my co-worker and I were given a task to email a couple of the utilities that report to us, in order to find out about any changes that might have been made since last year, to certain substations. It took me ten minutes to compose, edit, and re-edit the email to the companies I had to email, and I heard back from all of them within two days. It took him three weeks to write the email in the first place! He just heard back from the rep yesterday. Now, he's got to go out to the western part of NYS and do site visits. I told my supervisor that I'd do it, just to get it done. He refused to let me, because he had to show that both of us were doing the work.
-
Chris, he's about late 20's.
If the pics he used to post in the Lounge (back when pic threads were a thrice daily occurence) are anything to go by, I'd guess mid 30s.
Thankfully I never got to see the more revealing ones which he sent privately to certain female DUmmies (without them asking or wanting to see them).

I've got some folk like that around here, generally the ones doing the same job as they were twenty years ago without any attempt to progress or develop...they're basically stuck until retirement now.
No sadness for them, but I do feel bad for the people they work with.
-
How stupid of me not to realize what the DUmmie is really asking, "I've been here (not "WORKED" here) long enough to draw the max amount/number of unemployment checks. Should I quit or get fired?"

Don't be upset you didn't recieve any of those e-mails.
Perhaps Tavernturd thinks your mole is too far above his sub-standards. :-)

It was a few years ago when the Lounge was packed full of pic threads and flirtation...I can't remember all of the details, but quite suddently a few of the female members started to be quite hostile towards him - upon enquiry I discovered that he had sent unsolicited pictures of him 'in all his glory' to those he decided to take a shine to; these were not generally well received.

What a ****ing dickhead. Just like a liberal, to do something they'd sooner accuse us of doing. And just like a liberal woman, not getting him banned for the practice. They probably would have returned the favor, except they'd probably need to take a weed-whacker and a pumice stone to their nethers to make them presentable, even to a craven addicted poon-hound like Taverner.
-
Holy crap! I had no idea! I can't believe he didn't get banned for that. Pretty sleazy, but typical for a braindead democrat. Look at A. Weiner.
I think they've gone too far with that "self-esteem" education.
