I have not blogged lately...so much going on. But before I launch into this episode, let me say that my prayers are with people in the path of hurricane Ike...
Politics has gotten so weird of late that I am steering clear except for short segments like this. Many of my Yahoo friends are ardent Obama supporters, a position I don't share. Not that he probably can’t do the job; typically people who seek their parties a sense of greatness (mostly self delusional) that spurs them on. My view they are no different in that regard; one has ascended quickly from the state level to national level and sees he has a vision where to take the country, and then the other has lots of service, although he is not without some issues. Vote for who you want to. Don’t try to convince me about either. As wacky as people think he is, Ron Paul actually had some valid points in his campaign of government beyond its constitutional authority.
In my wandering thru the urban and rural landscapes in my life, I am increasingly cranky about the commonality of most people in their desire to be totally self absorbed and RUDE. I work hard to be considerate when all around me don't, and it is starting to get me riled... in my job I frequently encounter co-workers who are either ignorant or oblivious to the fact that they are breaking many common tenets of civil and commercial law in the way they conduct business..
We walked through the new facility today the new facility superintendent and I are thrilled. The contractors are about a week ahead of schedule; the offices are completed. The only segment missing is our server room, which is built but has no servers, switches or routers in place yet. And our data lines have not been installed, 3 T1 and 2 T3 to connect the new facility to the main plant and HQ.
Well quite a week...time to relax
Politics is always weird! It's a bit scary but it can be fun and a good opportunity to make political and philosophic points here for the world to read and consider. For instance...I'm going to be posting some blogs on major issues soon. I'll begin with my views on the issues and why I hold them followed by the candidates voting records on those same issues as well as quotes they have made on them. My first selection will be on abortion (Always a lively topic for discussion and one I have yet to touch on in my blogs.).
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. This week has been a high contrast experience in dealing with the extraordinarily rude behavior of others. When I work...I put out 100% effort to achieve the goals set before me. I meet those goals. However...IF I waste time at work in idle chat or say sitting outside watching my co-workers smoke...I'll never meet my responsibilities. Well...it seems to me that work here must be considered a result of "the FALL" and looked on as punishment because these people don't like to work. Further...they don't want others to do a better job than they do because they know that it will show them up for the piss poor workers that they are. So...I often find myself in the position of being disliked for being professional in my work. Some of that came to a head this week and the local morons got an earful from me that will...I hope...keep them away from me for a looooong damn time.
