You are your job
|
You are your job Many eons ago when I was a youngster I read a sci-fi book about people that lived on a ship hurtling through space for thousands of years that mutated and adapted to be really good at whatever their job was . Your job became your "race" . I thought it was fantastic at the time but I re-read it a few years ago and it was awful . Who would have thought my tastes would change in 28 years ? Anyway this book came to mind today because I was trapped in a horrid all employee meeting where the marketing team was droning on about<b> branding . </font></b>And I noticed that all the marketing people were attractive women . Looking around I realized that all the departments kind of look similar . Marketing - Sexy ladies IT - Schlubby neckbeards Accounting - Waspy sourpusses HR - Matronly middle aged women Customer care - Young dead eyed zombies Field agents - Frat bros Finance - Silver maned old dudes in suits And so on . Which begs the question , does how you look end up dictating what job you have ? I mean obviously it does sometimes if you're a model or an actor or someone who's job it is to look a certain way , but beyond that . My other main thought looking around at the crowd was "wow , this is a lot of white people" . Say what you want about my former employer Evil Corp LLC they hired anyone and everyone . Except in management of course . Can't let diversity get too far .  Last week I got this in the mail . The post office sent it out as part of their "control your god damn dog" campaign . These can't be live shots right ? These pictures must be staged . But how ? What's the casting like ? Alright , here's the plan , you're going to put on this mail outfit and then this is going to attack you . Who's going to go for that ? Although in the old casting couch scenario which do you think an aspiring actress would be more willing to do ? The old suck and tug for a job or be attacked by a dog ? I've probably told this story before but one of my friends used to live in the bad part of town and we'd go over there to play D&D sometimes . One time when we were over there the police raided the meth-hole next door . The dude meth addict took off like a comet and was fucking gone . The two meth addict women ran and hid in the abandoned house across the street . So the police are telling them to come out over and over and over and the K-9 unit shows up and they say some out now or we're sending in the dog . Important tip - if the police say that , COME OUT . The screaming of two meth addict women being attacked by a police is the worst sound I have ever heard in my life . No joking , it haunts me to this day . Also looking at on it through today's lens of police brutality that doesn't seem like a kosher maneuver on the police tactics . Anyway , the one picture of the small barking at the guy in the pith helmet doesn't seem to effectively convey the message as much as the other ones . I mean he could take that helmet off and batter that into next week . Also why is a mailman wearing a pith helmet ? Also the attacking the lady on the ground is clearly not fixed . Maybe that's why he's so aggressive . And the picture of the lunging at the dude standing up , how could you fake that ? He's wearing short sleeves and he's going to let a stunt jump and snap at him ? I need to know where these pictures came from and how they were staged . I mean what kind of budget could the Urbandale Post Office have ? Maybe it's a national campaign . Have you gotten a thing like this ? The ironic thing is of course the only people that need to see this wont get it because of their vicious dogs . Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first. |

I wonder if I had a swarm of bees as a pet if I would still get mail Putting clients first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put clients (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first.

Maybe they are not real dogs. Taxidermists need jobs too. Of course, when dogs go postal it’s time to flea. Blog on!

I'm gonna ask the really, really important question - which department do you work in? Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

I think you have those departmental stereotypes pegged pretty well, they agree with what I remember (although my workplace didn't have a marketing department). I haven't gotten one of those flyers. And if they were going to pass them out ANYwhere it would be my neighborhood, land of the barking territorial dogs. Today I was gardening in my front yard; the next door dog who was fenced in the back yard somehow sensed the presence of somebody outside nearby and barked non-stop for about an hour.
