I’m not here to listen intently at your meetings,

I’m here to get some cash flow to do other things.

We can stop pretending that any of this matters

because it’s only going to matter to the

Shareholders - many of whom do not intently follow

the current activities of the company. They’ve

put their Trust in someone else as well, they

could just as easily get screwed over like all of us

Employees.

Middle management are the donkeys.

Upper management are the Slytherins.

We’re just tiny little ants, accusing each other of

forgetting to proofread, not writing out

clear enough instructions and not specifying

clear, distinct goals or objectives that take

Three times as long to write out and tick off

rather than simply doing it.

What if we changed our goals and objectives?

What if the goal was to wake up without an alarm

Clock? What if the goal was to eat until your belly

is full and your body wants a midday nap?

What if the goal was to stay in a balanced, mental

state where we don't have to adapt to stress

because there wouldn’t be so many triggers or

Stimuli?

If the goal is to be able to reflect in one’s journal

at the end of the day, “Did I have a good day

Today? Did I do well? Am I proud of my accomplishments?”

What would that look like in a HR review for the

Quarter?

Would you give yourself some bonuses, then?

Writing sporadically... I tried some challenges but never won anything. Sometimes my poetry helps me process whatever has been going on... sometimes it is pure fiction. Sometimes I like to write about pop culture and astrology.
