Mar. 22nd, 2001 09:52 pmHow awful not to have updated my narrative of this, my rich and infinitely satisfying existence...
But it goes something like, 300 buckskis so that the front seat can slide all the way back...
I just haven't felt inspired by much lately. Even the horror of my job. Actually the job itself isn't too bad but recently... was it only two weeks ago? I've repressed... we had corporate happy-crap camp. Involving humiliating things that could only make me (and 99% of the people there) think about finding another job. Suffice to say that when you have a day-long meeting about communication and there's-no-I-in-teamwork, it is even more depressing to have nothing communicated to you and no element of input or interaction with the 2 or 3 people at the top of the company who make all the decisions.
I suppose this is just typical corporate BS and that I should count myself lucky that thus far I've had to endure remarkably little of that. I have, after all, been working over the past 2 months on intellectual projects of my own imagination without some manager bugging me about it being done. It's just that at some point the anti-intellectualism of those people at the top will get the better of the need for the place to treat smart people with respect. Then we will start jumping off of the sinking ship.
We are going to Pittsburgh in a couple of weeks, which is good.
