Random Thoughts...
Well, only 8 more posts after this one until I reach the 100th post mark. As well, there are only 16 more days until my birthday. And only 7 more work days until I start my new shift. So there are a few things I can look forward to I suppose.
At this moment it's rather difficult to stay positive and upbeat with all the negativity around me. Mostly at work, and because I do spend a fair amount of time there, I feel it a great deal. It's not that I'm negative, it's more that there are a lot of negative people at work directing their negative feelings towards me, because I do well at work and they don't, or using me as a "shoulder to cry on" as it were.
So with all the crap floating around me, it's hard to keep a smile on my face and a jump in my step. I mean, yes I understand why they feel the way they do, and I do. I'm good that way I guess, very understanding and able to see things from multiple perspectives. However, it doesn't mean I feel it's justified. I work in a place that rewards based on performance (get your mind out of the gutter you perverts) and if you don't preform well, you are rewarded less. It's pretty simple really. Work hard and you'll be noticed and rewarded. Slack off and you get squat. How hard is that to comprehend?
Okay I know I'm not the greatest or the best performer, however I work hard and the company I work for recognizes that and rewards me accordingly which I truly appreciate. If I slacked off and someone else was getting the things I'm currently getting, well it's no one's fault but my own really. It's not my supervisors fault, it's not the company's fault, the only person who can take responsibility for me and the work I do, is me. It's amazing how many people forget that, or even realize it in the first place. They seem to think it's someone else's job to make sure they work hard, years ago, yes that was the case, cracking the whip and all that. However, now days company's have gotten a bit lazy and rely on the workers to motivate themselves. It's just a sad reality of the modern workplace. Well, at least in the majority of the public sector anyway.
Anyway, I'm finished my rant now. I feel better :) That's one thing this blog is good for, just spewing out whatever is on my mind and getting it out there, and no longer bottling it up. Less negativity inside is good :)
