Note to Self
After nearly 2 years of being a drone in a cube-farm, I feel as if I have earned the right to wear a cocked-up tie:-
Kids, this isn't as surreal as it seems.
After nearly 2 years of having to bite my tongue and endure stupidity of magnanimous (sic) proportions, I have almost convinced myself that it is best to leave my brain at home before clocking in at work.
After nearly 2 years of seeing how the world (or this microcosm of a world) works, I have almost come to the conclusion that it is best if I played ostrich and hope that the good performance reviews keep coming in.
Almost. But not quite.
Thanks to the exhortation by Steve Jobs via The Tots to "Stay hungry. Stay foolish" and her reminder that we have potential, goddamnit, which we must use for the greater good, I have been...if not rejuvenated, at least reawakened.
There is a far bigger world out there, and I have to keep chanting this to myself when facing the BOIWs of this world. I have bigger dreams than the BOIW could conceive of.
So sorry, gray cube-farm, you haven't beaten me, nor swallowed all of my idealism whole, yet. I will rise above this.
The world needs to be saved.
