I wonder sometimes about work and Employment. I am not saying I am some unemployed living off the state loser with 3 kids just to get help. Hell that would be easyer then what I am doing. Slowly watching my braincells escape thru my ears.
Guess I should start with I have a work ethic. That said let me tell you about my Job.
I work for a company that Larger Companies outsource too. NO I am not in India or Jamaica Mon. I am here in the USA. Getting payed less then people working for the big companies and being expected to be more Customer based.
This would be ok and wonderful but somehow I got the short straw and ended up on a VoIP linegroup. For a company that hasn't released the product yet. Meaning no customers no calls.
Don't tell me you want my job. Have you ever done nothing so long that your brain and pudding could be twins? It is a sad sight. But to complain about my job isn't why I am here...not that I am not going to bash it every chance I get.
But being employed and working are a big deal. I mean I have been unemployeed too. I was for 3 years I found myself crying myself to sleep at night for feeling useless. {so part of a job for me is feeling useful} Even if I was the driver for the house and keeping things flowing.
But what is so important about being employed and working? Other then giving you a sense of being part of something, isn't it nice to know you earned what is in your hand? I think so. But than again I came along way to accepting the money in my hand and not blowing it on people who didn't earn it.
This can make a person Broke rather Quickly. But being employed has other things to it. Seeing and meeting new people. Being part of something. Learning. Discovering who you can be, this I say cause others can always see more in you that you can in yourself so if you aren't out there to show what you can do how will you know?
Now what have I learned well I have the makings of a workaholic. It also teachs me I have way too much patience. Here I work for a company that is out to piss on the little guy we are expendable. There is no way to convince this Company that we the little guy is important and how we are treated has any effect on how we treat the customers. Seams logicial doesn't it.
Treat others how you want to be treated! Isn't a hard concept, but it seams at times to be the hardest thing in the world. You have a day where all goes wrong and have to sit on a phone telling someone who can't program a VCR how his "New" phone service works.
They tell me that only the Tech Savy are going to go for VoIP. I don't see that. I see the people getting this service being the same ones who get all the newest Gadgets even if they don't know how it works. Why do I know this cause I am related to people like that. I see them everyday. I know people like that. My parents own Cellphones who programs them gets them set up to use everything me. I see people like my parents getting VoIP.
AH but this is my Job we all have one. And if you don't I wonder about you. Are you a parent cause well you have a job. It is raising a HUMAN! Not a Little Monster. I don't see professional Vegtable and Computer geek as a job. Or Human Couch potato, Wallet leach either. But there are so many people out there with that profession it scares me. And lately my decision to ignore the human veggie brains isn't being aloud. I have people pushing them in my face. Please for there sakes let me be.
I appologise for ranting but I am at work and this is all I have to do to keep my Brain entacted.
