OK. I'm here like many others..to vent. My personal beef is work-related. This blog is my stress-relief (and WAY cheaper than therapy) and, hopefully, it will find its way into the hearts and minds of other down-trodden, under-employed, and generally dumped-on workers and offer some solice. Workers of the world, UNITE!
There's a saying that goes, "It's hard to soar with eagles when you work with turkeys." To this I can only reply, AMEN brother.
When the global economy crashed in the fall of 2008, I happen to get fired, from my corporate position, for taking in a stray/abused dog and then refusing to surrender it to the owner when he showed up over a month later. I know...this sounds stupid and unreal but you gotta understand the workings of my former emploer to fully appreciate this story. I will expound on this incident, in greater detail, at a later date. Let's jsut refer to it as "The Electric Light Incident". Stay tuned 'cause you won't believe what happened then...or maybe you'll see yourself mirrored in my life. I am mentioning this life-altering event now, because it marked the beginning of a downward spiral for me that has yet to end... Is there no bottom?
So, if you're among the unemployed or under-employed population in this contr, I hope that you will continue to read this and maybe find some small comfort in knowing that I share your pain.
more later...
