My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

Life in the Fast Lane Something about losing my mind... Work life has taken a toll on me. I once remember a time that I could take a five minute break to catch up on email and voicemail without the phone ringing. Today, I either have an irrate customer screaming bloody murder into my ear, or an inept supplier telling me they can't fulfill their promises. Or worse yet, a supplier that just decides to not show up for a meeting. For the first time in 10 years, I've actually considered saying goodbye to the automotive industry, just so I can have my two minutes on my soapbox to tell off the people that deserve it. This intense, dog-eat-dog industry sucks the will out of people. There are those that have thick skin and bounce back day after day. I don't know how they do it. I take my job, my work, and my business relationships seriously. Every decision I make is well thought-out. Don't get me wrong... I make mistakes... but when it comes to my business deliverables, I'm every "pay-you-for-eight, work-for-twelve" employer's wet dream. Oh well... if it's not the customer that's choking my will out of me, it's our new 14-tiered management. I miss the good ol' days where I reported directly to a VP. Now it takes three people above me to make a decision. Sometimes, I often wonder how nice it would be to work for McDonalds. I could probably be a senior fry guy in no time. Maybe one day, when my house is paid off, I'll do that. posted by Dino at 10:49 PM (permanent link) |
