Normal is what everyone else is and you're not
|
Normal is what everyone else is and you're not People seem to have a hard time defining what normal is - there you go . You're welcome . At work we're in the midst of a freak out of significant proportions because the company is going to stop ing for every to have a ph and an iPad and a Mac and a hot spot and etc. etc. and only the people that need them for their job will get them . Of course every is pissed and reaming their heads off . They want their for nothing and their chicks for free . It reminded me how at my old job at Global Evil Inc every quarter they'd send out their message about the 6 billion in profits (profit NOT revenue) they made last quarter and how this meant there would have be layoffs and we'd be getting less benefits and every needed to tighten their belts and come together because times were tough and they were just barely by . And no ever said anything - they just bit the pillow and took their rewing . And yet and Tiny Mostly Neutral Local Business #7 which is actually in terrible financial shape and needs every penny they can get and could go out of business tomorrow people are crying their little eyes out about not getting tons of free shit . I'm sure there's a lesson of some kind in there . I feel like that's probably how it shakes down overall . The people who are complaining are whiny bitches mostly complaining about nothing . And the people who actually have things they should be complaining about just take it up the ass in silence . person said to me "If we take away this stuff we're not going to attract the best people !" I thought things , which I wisely (for once) kept to myself . #1 - We don't have the best people now so that argument doesn't hold water #2 We don't want the best people . What we want is the cheapest people that will do an okay job . The best people ? You know how much those people want ? It's crazy . We can't afford the best people . And they're super needy . The cheap okay people know their place and keep their cheap okay mouths shut . Sometimes I feel like people missed the lesson in hool or something because they don't see to understand that the only thing a company is for is to make gobs and gobs of . Did you know that 3% of the population in the US owns 50% of the guns ? Gun ownership is actually down significantly over the last 50 . Turns out that the problem is not that there's too many guns , it's that we as a nation are more engaged in our fantasy lives . These shootings happen here so much more frequently than similar countries not because firearms are so easy to get but because of our national dream over overnight fame . If you believe the expert (which you don't because America has decided it hates people that know things) these killers are not psychotics or paranoid hizophrenics by and large - they're unhappy people with flaws and failures that they blame on others . The system , the elitists , the world . They worry their resentments into sensational fantasies of vengeance and they act out those fantasies because they know that will make people attention to them . In other news Madeleine Stowe turns 60 in August . She looks fantastic . She's been married for 35 and lives in Texas but you know what ? I feel like I have a shot . I'm going to go for it . Because I've realized something . The gross basement dwelling monster-men who think they could ore with Kate Upton "if they wanted to" have the right idea . Because if you're going to strike out anyway you might as well swing for the fences right ? It's like my grandpappy always said , if you're not going to catch a fish you may as well not catch a BIG fish . 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. |

Speaking of striking out I should change my profile again - I thought that story was funny and a good representation of me but I bet woman at it and go "this guy is talking about a baseball game when he was a kid ?" and they think I love baseball and am one of those people who looks at their past nostalgically . Neither of which are true . Is true ? 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.

I predict that if the supervisors/managers are the ones to decide who really NEEDS a phone/iPad/Macbook; hardly anybody will get booted off the program. Because supervisors don't usually want their staff to hate them. Back at Large Local Government, we revised the policy for reimbursing staff for parking; in hopes that we wouldn't be paying for so many peoples' monthly parking contracts. But of course, the supervisors all claimed that these employees had a STRONG BUSINESS NEED to have their car available (even though for some of the units, records showed that the people incurred mileage maybe two or three times a year). Can you tell I'm still bitter about this issue?

Thank you for letting me know that I am not normal .... I was getting worried. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

P.S. I checked out the baseball story and I liked it (especially since you included a moral at the end that explained why it's pertinent). But yeah on this site? Most folks who aren't already familiar with your style from reading your blog would be confused by it.
