Isolated showers last night made
Isolated showers last night made for a glowing sky this morning. I thought a lot about what went on yesterday afternoon on the way in this morning. I lost my boss. He was replaced by some new guy that no one knows. A bunch of engineers were reorganized to report to different business units in different parts of the company. The core team that I'm on report to the new guy, but we were all moved into cubes. It sounds like they are paving the way for our escort out the door to me, but I'm speculating. It certainly isn't any way to treat someone that supports this place 7/24/365 without question. I guess that puts us back at the age old conundrum of Corporate America. I'll try and keep a good attitude about it, but truth be told, they are cutting their own legs off and don't even realize the severity of their actions.
It is just a job, remember that dude. I know you are likely running that through your head a lot . but really, don’t let it give you an ulcer. To hell with those people, to hell with their agendas, and to hell with their bottom lines. Money is not the end all be all of anything - use this experience to leverage more of what is important into your life.
The sun burns brightly, and hot . and Neptune and the rest circle it. Neptune is a planet full of raging storms and cataclysmic events . and dwarfs the Earth. That is going on right now, and will for millennia after that stupid company ya work for is less than nothing. The planets circle, the universe expands, and we race against time to come up with a better explanation for our lack of importance than praying to a nameless god.
Bah. Corporate America is the Harkonnen empire of our age. It is dark, uncaring, fake, and bullshit. It is a meaningless part of your life, which itself has no meaning unless you create it. You are way too bright a guy to waste your time worrying about that crap, when you could be putting your weight against creating beautiful things, or coming up with solutions that help humanity do more than trade stocks.
Don’t know man - wish I could say something that sounded less like a rant. I think it comes down to scale. your job is simply less than significant, so don’t allow your life to be crushed under its weightlessness.
And please remember to throw my own words back at me next time I.m where you are today homeslice.
...unless, of course, you earn bookoos of money with stcok options and CEO-type compensation packages. Then it doesn’t seem to suck so bad anymore…
;-)
heh. good comments, boys. I always feel better visiting here. :-)
After reading Michael’s comment again, I have the strongest urge to watch Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life” (the organ donor sketch, of course)....
(Galaxy Song)
Just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That’s orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it’s reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the ‘Milky Way’.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It’s a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it’s just three thousand light years wide.
We’re thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go ‘round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that’s the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you’re feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space,
‘Cause there’s bugger all down here on Earth.
Geez people. I came here to read one-liner comments but here I have to read and re-read novels ... Nonetheless, good thoughts kiddos. Corporate America is a necessary evil.
run clayton, run. Someone else will realize your talents and use you to your full ability and appreciate you. :)
Sounds like Irfan is jealous that nobody visits HIS site…
