A Day Gone South

I awakened this morning feeling ready to go and I did just that, I started work on time, made all my appointments on time, and was feeling pretty good about the day. I usually make it a point to say nice things to folks like ( nice hat, thank you for the pretty smile, Etc.) all the while I do my work.Believe me when I say that it helps me, by knowing I may have given someone a good feeling for a change, and by doing this, I seem to brighten my day and make the most of it. Today I did not do this and while doing my job which is as a Fire Marshal Inspector (and most contractors have not much love for me) things started to head South. I inspected a new project and on several rooms I found that the sprinkler heads that protect the room did not protect closets in certain rooms. A meeting of the sprinkler contractor , project manager, owners representative, myself (I work for Government), and the city Fire Inspector was convened, I explained my position and why the sprinkler heads would need to be moved. After much discussion it was agreed that it would be taken care of as soon as practicable, and I left the site and went on to another inspection.
Two hours later my supervisor calls me and wants to know why I required these heads to be moved and that his bosses from the capital wanted to know why I would require a change like this because the designer complained and insisted that I was wrong and apparently had no idea what I was doing. Needless to say I am peeved that I have not been supported by my upper management and I was really steamed that this gutless designer called the Capitol and cried to my bosses and did not have the common courtesy to talk to me first. Karma BAD karma and I believe that because I was not setting a good tone everything is goofed up and a bunch of valuable time will be wasted.
