I MADE A PENNY! WOOO HOOO. So far this site has made me 1 penny. It would cost them more to print a check or type the words 'direct deposit' into my account.
If this site was about money I would sell out and write about Miley Cyrus. The only way Billy Ray Cyrus could resurrect his one hit wonder career was by having a daughter who was more popular than he ever was. If she was the result of boozed up back stage partying then Disney needs to get a Jack Daniels sponsorship.
Like many of you who read my blog I am only a short amount of time removed from college. That includes anyone who graduated the last 3 years. While some of you have figured out what you want to do for a career I do not have a clue. Recently, I have been discovering the downsides of corporate banking. It's impersonal for the employees and the clients. Every employee you talk to from outside your branch doesn't care if you are an associate. As always people want it and they want it now. No patience. Customer service is a diseased area within any company. It's as if you were hired to take slaps to the face at a carnival. And after a while you forget why you are taking the slaps. Then the paychecks stop coming. You're work is outsourced to India. You look in the mirror you're just as old and jaded as everyone else. In left-handed years I'm 27. Good thing I still get carded. That makes me feel young again.
(Outsourcing customer service is an easy thing to do. And likely to be done very shortly....)
Anyway, I'm losing my point here. The point is I am in an 'Office Space' theme that I didn't know was an office. Until I realized everyone is my boss. The entire corporation motivates you through cheesy, superficial speeches and phrases. Playing the games and listening to coworkers spout overdone and unimaginative phrases is uninspiring to me. Does anyone agree with me? Doesn't overdone leadership strip the gravity of issues by placing too much pressure on smaller issues taking away from the importance of bigger issues? I guess it depends on your priorities.
Now, I'm not saying I'm so disgruntled I'm going to rob the place like Peter did in 'Office Space.' I have a semblance of morals and a SERIOUS respect for paper trails. I'm yelling I'm stuck. I can't get up. And the batteries for my senior medical alert necklace are dead. I just watch people at my branch go nowhere. I can tell underneath the job they do on a daily basis they are apathetic to what they do. They wish they could be somewhere else. And that is the worst kind of discouragement.
So, maybe it's time to make a change. The economy is still in a rut. So, many of you are considering moving home. For instance, Heeze is leaving in a month to go back to the island to work at Pearl Harbour. Congrats Heeze. On the other hand I don't have the luxury of having a particular set of skills or education like engineering to make a jump to another job right now. I think I have to man up and suck it up until I know it's safe enough for me to make the jump. I really don't know if the economy is going to dip again or not.
Honestly, I can't help but think that's no way to live when you're young. Go see the world young man. Don't confine yourself.
