vicarzOpportunist: If I didn't show up for work, I wouldn't get 4 hours of early dismissal leave! So here I am in the office.
There here, they're real, and they want to eat your face.
Yesterday I found some 1/2 priced adult swim dvds. I was on the fence about buying them, but I decided to toss them in my cart first and ask about responsibility second. I selected seasons 1&2 metalocalypse, 1-3 venture bros, and of course squidbillies. The total was $90. I quickly closed my browser.
Work has gotten really weird, really weird. It's been noted that I'm well known and respected while a series of management positions are open. I think I'd do well, but I'm not interested. It would help my career and all indications are this would be an easy leap into SES w/n 5 years give or take...but so what? What is that, money? Power? Prestige? I'd rather be comfortable with job I like and less inter-personal conflicts in which I have no choice but to play a significant role.
Yesterday my poor boss had to step between two grown fucking women to keep them from coming to blows. I don't want to be in that position nor would I want to be his boss, and finally I really don't want to answer to the chain of command I see my boss dealing with. I think to be effective I'd have to bury my soft fuzzy self and put on a fair but serious and unforgiving air, be demanding, and ultimately everyone in these roles starts taking shortcuts on professional decorum (rude fuckers). Then there is the blame game, negativity, and common economically efficient "easier to tear others down than to excel myself" ladder climbing crabs-in-a-basket activity.
Yeah I'm totally cool down here. Hell maybe I should quit and blow my savings failing at starting and running a coffee shoppe.
