Just Venting…
Experienced inmates at the jail have a saying: “Keep my name outta your mouth.” An alternative phrase they use is, “I hope my name taste like _____ in your mouth.” While most of the time, I find that most people who spend a lot of time in the jail system lack wisdom (I mean, they are IN JAIL!), these quotes indicate a lot of wisdom.
My parents raised me to believe that if you didn’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything at all.
Now, I can take criticism. I have no problem with that. But when another official uses his position to talk about things related to me that have nothing to do with the my job performance, I’ve got to say something.
Someone recently sent this to me on Facebook, and I think it’s appropriate in this situation (and many others): “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something.” - Author unknown
