Oh, I agree.
It's not what you're saying that bothers me, but that you sound proactive and positive about it. It just threw me off.

Ever feel like a pointless, small cog in a giant machine? Or even worse, a pawn to it all? Yeah, that’s how I’m feeling right now. I stick my head above my desk and over the partition of my tidy, joyless, cubicle and if I turn my head in all directions, I see more cubicles, each with some out-of-shape, IT professional hunched over his or her computer typing away at a business proposal, an excuse, or (on rare occasions) actually doing productive work. Each person, equally unhappy. Each person, hopelessly resigned that this cubicle farm where our talents are all being incubated to service the hive queen is actually ‘normal’.

You work as hard as you can to make the ‘numbers’ so that your boss’s boss’s boss can then keep his or her job, so that their boss’s boss can thus make the CEO happy, who then gets to keep his job if he appeases the major shareholders. And these shareholders, in turn, wonder if the job that you’ve broken your back and spirit to accomplish, can actually be done without you next year—so that the numbers can look even better. Because everyone must make the numbers. Everyone must. What’s a big company to do once you’ve maxxed out on your demographic client population? Once there’s no more customers to be gained? You still have to make the numbers. Ergo, each year, the potential for being cut from this giant ribbon of wrong persists.

No buddy, this ain’t me. How did I get into this mess? My debt? My supposed talent? I must earn what I earn, which I admit, is a pretty decent penny, just to pay the bills and for the sins of my previous excesses. Essentially, I’m trapped if opt to stay the course.

But that’s just the way the ‘man’ likes it, isn’t it? I bleed myself to feed the mouths of the rich, who in turn find ways of marginalizing me so that I can produce more with less. Each pay raise, I actually earn less than the one before when you factor in inflation. Here I am, a man at 30-something years of age, living with a roommate, owning things I don’t need, buying into a system that is slowly killing me.

I am a random gadfly in a swarm, a number in a ticker, a foot soldier in a squadron of washed up recruits. But my spirit…now my spirit is a avian that seeks to sore above the mess that I’ve created. And, the chime on my desktop calendar, a clarion call for me work as hard as I can to break out of this mess.

I seek to end this week with renewed vigor.



Folks, I mean this shit ok?

Imago, you summed up perfectly how I mostly feel about jobs and work in general. lol Maybe if I get off my arse and (re)start my business then I'll be able to engage in some meaningful work. I've spent the past 2 months looking for a new job for my "career development" and getting in position to apply to a PhD program. I need to remind myself that its to put myself in a position to work for myself, how I want, where I want, when I want.
I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!

He knows I love him more than anything in this world...still gotta keep him on his toes.
Yours has some great "habits" as well I am sure. He is gorgeous inside and out.

The outside is lickable, I admit.
But the inside--that's just stunning, Val. Absolutely stunning. It feels like the safe, warm, home I tried to build all my life. lol


OK, enough of that mushy shit. Let's get back on the topic of what the evil ass 'man' is doing to our asses! no no no!


The outside is lickable
