Working Experiences

It's kinda funny that no one really likes where they work.  And no one really tries to do anything about it.  

The majority of people spend more time with people they work with than people that they actually love.  Our work lives have overcome our actual lives, and we spend more time trying to make people who are completely and utterly insignificant like us.

Anyone who has my feelings on work and such, usually don't tell their workmates everything about their personal lives, because work is competition.  If you aren't on top of the heap, than you are on your way to the bottom, and I can guarantee that there are always people waiting to see you fall.

In one of my latest positions working for other people (which is why I absolutely despise doing it) I had a coup pulled on me.  And it was my fault.  I didn't see it coming, and really I didn't care.  I was past the point of trying to squeeze water from the stone.  The thing that bugs me though, is that one of my supervisors let it happen.  There was no support, and none of the BS that had been spoken between us meant a thing when someone is more concerned with taking the path with least resistance.

My opinion?  Don't bother. The least resistance will only end with a head (most likely yours) on a pole at the end of the battle.

A Unique Website

Hello again to the empty room.

I am completely aware that I am writing this for my own personal satisfaction, and that I should really expect to get no comments whatsoever....(does anyone make comments anymore?)  (Or maybe I should be asking "Where have all the comments gone?"  I think there is a song out about something like that....)

But I found this cool as website...you can find it here...

Very strange and profound. It's about an author, trying to get people to buy her book, who devotes her whole website to writing about it on the top of her refridgerator and then moves on to her stove.  Very random, yet amusing.  Perhaps you will enjoy it as well?

Cheers,

Gold What??

I have to admit that the coolest thing I have heard in awhile is a little band called Goldfrapp.  They are completely and utterly british and are massive over there, and are completely unique to Canada really.  They are finally starting to get some play in redneck hicksville Calgary on an alternative radio station called X92.9FM.  Which although people were really hard on it to begin with, the new station is gaining in popularity and garnering some respect in the community - if only the alternative indie types at the moment.

X92.9FM is a good little station although I wonder how long it will last.  Stations tend to get thrown to the wolves around here, so I will be interested to see how long X can last.

But check out this band as they are well worth it.  And even possibly X92.9FM.  

Cheers,

A new feeling.

Today, a new feeling struck me.  Nothing like the love struck butterflies, or the feeling of leaving a stomach behind when on a roller coaster.  It wasn't the feeling of a soft ocean breeze on your face or the warm sand in between your toes.

It was something less amazing, and more important.  It was an 'aha' moment.  Not the first I had, but one that definitely will shape the next move in my life.  

The feeling that I was privy to today was nothing more than the feeling of wind brushing my cheek as I closed one door behind me, and felt another window open.  

Today, I heard the words from a boss that told me what I needed to hear, although possibly not what I wanted.  Sometimes, the best things to hear are the things we don't want to hear.  

What was said and what door closed?  Does it really matter?

Wouldn't you know?

Hey, found this article and thought it was great.  A great way to use viral marketing to your benefit after completely going against what it stands for.  What better example could you ever hope to achieve?

A New Beginning

Well, I have returned to where it all began here in Calgary, Canada.  I thought that my feet would never stay here over an extended period of time, although I have been stationary for far too long to avoid saying the inevitable.  I am here for at least a little longer, and I can not escape that.  So I have decided to find the good things that reside here.

The coffee isn't great, although it is getting better.  I must admit that I found at least two places that don't burn the milk!  (And that isn't even a Starbucks!!)

And the food is definitely getting better....but still has a long way to go.

More discoveries to be made I am sure!
