What does this cartoon remind you of? No it's not a Worshack type test, there is no right or wrong answer....And I'm sure that you don't want to know what I see but this is my blog and you will find out anyways right? he he..it's good to be me.. :-)
It kind of reminds me of high school but on a more adult scale. It's called the work place. Now, everyone has a place that they go to everyday for that 9-5.....working over time to make some else rich....but it's also a huge breeding ground for rumors and for anyone of any caliber to talk smack about you. "OMG, Didn't anyone tell her that you're not supposed to wear white after labor day?"
Come on, are our own lives that boring and dull that we have to be constantly fixated either on one person and what they do or DON'T do that we forget that, Hey your there to work. You can find this practice in any establishment. And if you can honestly say that there isn't some sort of shit talk where you are, either you are blind to it or you just are one of the lucky one's who really did find a paradise to work in. I congratulate you. I pity the rest of you....
I find myself in the back round of the working class, more like on the benches, the side lines if you will. And it has been that way for almost 2 years now. Though I do miss the act of working for my money...in a big way, I do NOT miss the gossip.
You could be working for the smallest place for the last 15 years and maybe one or two people will come and go from the company....but that 1 NEW person comes in...heaven forbid that your world be rocked but this obvious annoyance to your universe.... So what if that person just got out of some 4 year college and has a business degree! You've been here since you dropped outta high school...no need for getting your G.E.D. It's all a government scam to get more money.....It's not the 60's any more pal.
Now at days, when I go into someplace like say a burger joint. Yes it does employ those who otherwise might not have a job, and the high school kids....but I also see the slackers that stick to their own little click and would rather stand back, talk smack about the customers that are waiting to be served...then to actually work for the pay check they are supposed to be getting this Friday.
I just don't understand how the work place has morphed from a place of business to a place of free money, no work, and the customer is NEVER right.
"Can I get some service please?"
"Ahhhh sir, you're just going to have to wait, I am still on break for another 30 seconds....."
Now, I have worked for Burger King for roughly 3 years on and off from the age of 20-23ish....maybe to 24...But I will tell you this. Any of my manager's would have fired me if I had even thought of pulling a stunt like that. And then I became and Asst. Manager, I had to write people up for that crap.
So why, WHY do we as customers tolerate it? Sure we can all understand that it gets busy, but do we deserve such disrespect when there is no one in line and maybe 1 car at the drive thru? I can honestly say that at any of the B.K.'s that I have visited across this country, I have never had any problems like the example I used, though I have encountered it else where.
So what is the point of all this you may ask yourself.....the point is, in the age of Dr. Phil's and The View and the like, not only should we be standing up for ourselves in our homes and relationships, but we should also be standing up to the people at these crude work environments. If we all keep just taking it and turning a blind eye, then who are we to complain when the system fails? Stand up for you and your beliefs, your freedom, your right to good food, great service and to live a happy life and be happy about who you are....
If there is one thing I can say, if I was still in California...I would NOT be voting for our actor to stay in office. He is just that, and actor.....
Bubu is a great mayor.......and I support him emencly....love all his work he did while on "In The Heat Of The Night", but as a mayor his actions MATCH what he SAYS! I suppose it's a hard lesson for all of us to learn...I'm just glad that my home town is entrusted to this noble and I believe awesome man. I WOULD vote for him again, even recommend him for the state position where the current actor is...only seems right.
Sorry I got off on a rant there. Hope all of you are having a great day, this was just one of my pet peeves that really irked me today if you can't tell.
Peace, Love, Chicken Wings.....
Reese
