Should I be troubled?

Well another month another senior management staff bids adieu to the company. At this point I have to wonder if I really want to be known as a well paid employee in this establishment as it seems that their average lifespan is but a brief gasp. So now the question looms.. Do I keep reaching for that brass ring or should I cut and run? I am seeing the flaws. The malleable and poor pricing of services. The indecision of new infrastructure improvements. Where does it end and do I fit into this shredded puzzle?

Strangely it energizes me as I feel that the opportunity far out weighs all the klaxons ringing death in the back of my mind. I believe that I am in the midst of some very talented minds but checked out people. I can see this as even minor progression of initiatives is given abundance of praise and regarded as initiative. In example. I should really take the time to rewire the entire joint as it has lived through at least 5 – 6 years of patch work and sloppy networking. I redid one section and was treated as a visionary. Nothing really moved forward no gain was had. But ya know, it looks like someone is actually in control of that section and I guess that comfort is all that’s needed.

Which is an interesting environment as it has recently shown me that once and a while I can still get a chance to slack off. I’m only making future trouble if I do but things change a lot when you come in for a mission critical, everyone must work Saturday and find your Quality and Assurance manager engrossed in a game of solitaire. Ok then, guess I don’t feel as bad when I take the time to update this joint. So now I wait for the next bright eyed visionary to get hired whip people into a frenzy and then realize hes fighting a losing battle against a CEO that does not conform to notions that are lodged in his brain. I will continue to amuse myself by collecting paychecks and knowledge.

Someone’s trying to kill me - the revenge

So for consecutive weeks I have risen on Monday morning to find my front passenger side tire deflated. This can’t be coincidence. Again we need to compile a list of suspects.

1. Mark P. – my boss from my second job. I left him high and dry for the busiest season of the year. Even worse a mini revolt of the “old guys” is forcing him to have to hire a bunch of noobs.
2. Sharon H. – this poor darling has now been forced to pick up all of my client management work in the light of my career change. Oh and did I mention I had completely checked out on that line of work? She inherited a mess.
3. Mordecius – Have been regularly owning his casual raider ass across a message board and I’m not apologizing sucka!!! Owned with easy!!
4. Telecos salesmen – Yes I inquired no I don’t want to hear from you anymore. Broke more than a couple hearts of the last two weeks.

Gaming

Ok so I play wow. Wow is a mmo. It’s incredibly fun. It’s incredibly repetitive. MMO’s always degenerate into more of a social experience rather than a game for me. If you play the game to “win” … Sorry you lose. This is not the genre for you. So too often in WOW I have heard from this group of people that say “I like to play solo” or complain that they should not have to group up to get the best rewards.

To all of you out there who hold these beliefs I now ask. Please leave. Get out! This is not that game. This is not a single player game. This is a game to play with your buds or to make friends with people of the same interests. This is not a genre for solo. It’s in the title of genre. Please stop trying to change my game. Please stop calling me an elitist because I can find 40 people who don’t play the game the same way as you.

Please don’t say its not fair that you don’t want to be social in a genre designed around community. Not loot!! Loot comes with the community!! If you can’t be a part of a new community play a single player game and role play till your hearts delight. Please stay away from my genre. You and the rest of us will all be happier.

Mike Tyson is better than you…

He has somehow managed to restrain himself from killing Don King. A feat the gods dream of when they talk of legend.
