Work anywhere but at work
Do you enjoy office politics?
I abhor it. My best days are whe I get out of the office
and get to do some actual work, please a customer in person
and feel like I'm earning my pay.
There are other days when I can remotely log in and
read all the e-mail at work that describes what I've been missing
while I'm out. I find it stressful just reading it, and I feel thankful I
was not there to have to deal with any of it.
Then there are the days when you go to work and you feel like you
just wandered into some odd foreign movie where nothing makes
sense and everyone is speaking some other language that you
never learned. And to top it off, all of the previously intelligent,
well-meaning, dedicated people have been mysteriously replaced
by a pack of insane fast food employees. I'm not quite sure what
that would actually be like, but it feels the same when I think about it.
So, do I need to start looking for another job because someone
might read this and be offended that I had the temerity to speak,
even in veiled phrases and non-specifics, and fire me?
But then who would help the customers?
Not everyone wants fries with that.
