Remember that game you used to play as a child (or for those of you who're parents, that you played yesterday with your kids)? Well that's how my life is feeling right now, at least work wise. I've been climbing up the ladders for the last 12 years I've been here, short ladders mind you, and now I've hit a snake. Actually it's more like a pit of them and theyr'e all venomous.
Guess that's the way things are these days, it's a dog eat dog world and everyone's out for their own asses. There's no longer a sense of comradaerie, and doing things for each other. Despite what they teach nowadays about corporations flattening out and having no managers, it doesn't seem to work that way in practice. Kinda like communism really. Maybe it is happening with all these newer companies that are run by younger people, but when you work at a place that has done things the same way for a long time, it takes someone with energy and a high rank to change things, and it's so much easier to just pay lip service.

And if it weren't for the dang good pension, you'd be outta there! Poor thing. And mom wonders why I say I never want to go back to working outside the home again. :( I was going to post this "blinkie" here (that I found at the blog of a fellow atheist homeschooling mom), but it won't let me, so I'll just have to quote: "Do I look like a f#%king people person?"
I can be a people person, sometimes, I just can't stand being a peon to everyone.
