Well, it looks like this will work, so let’s give it a go.
Currently, I’m trying to get over a cold, or cold like symptoms. I missed work yesterday…well, I wouldn’t say that I “missed” work, but you get the gist.
Back in the office with a renewed understanding why I go to work…for a paycheck, not to change the world.
Which leads me to my next thought…is there a specific age statistically when you just stop caring about trying to change the world with regards to work? Now, I’m not saying that doctors or care takers and the like stop caring, I’m talking about people that are cogs in the machine, and the machine is only hell bent on making money. I don’t see a percentage of the money that I save the machine…granted I get a check, which I agree is my main incentive. But, in theory, all I have to do is a better job than 70% of my immediate co-workers to retain my position, and in some cases, I can even increase my bill rate with that level of workmanship.
For the record, I don’t know how to “throttle back” my work, I can blame/thank my mother and father for that, so I’m not cheating my client out of money. But, am I being fair to myself by putting in the extra effort when Joe Schmoe down the hall is lazy as hell and doesn’t get disciplined about the lack of workmanship?
So, this is what’s on my mind today. Which, in it self is a waste of time to even publish because I have no plans, or know how, to do a lesser job.
