so i don’t blog anymore . . . that’s mostly because i work so much with the new job . . . that i don’t have time for a life. i work come home sleep repeat. oh i take a shit somewhere in that mix too . . .
it’s frustrating to me because i have been working in this business for 11 years now. all but one was client side, and this job now is the first full time out of school job. but all i hear about is paying your dues and blah blah blah . . . i’m soo sick of hearing about it.
that seems to be the american way . . . treat someone like shit and if they can take it then you’re accepted. why is that? why can’t people just treat others nice? help them while training them without treating them like shit. why do we get a kick of seeing someone else incredibly miserable? why do we like to kick others why they are down, and then they then turn around and continue the cycle? doesn’t anyone realize just because it happened to you doesn’t mean that it has to continue? i am convinced people are stupid. that’s all.
i am also realizing how much people think they are “entitled” to things because of seniority. just because you have been doing something longer doesn’t make you more special. I can’t control when I was born. I have always hated being “behind”. In PE I used to get dressed out faster than everyone so I could get in my two laps and be done before everyone, I would rather stay late and be done that day than leave and come back to finish it in the morning.
That’s another thing. I hate hiring freezes, and I know this is going to sound crazy but I can’t work overtime so I get kicked out of the office at 5 . . . but about 4 is when I get that creative wind I need to just crank out work. Why can’t I just come in at 11 and work til 7? That way we all win, I get to sleep in and you get more productivity. Done. . . sounds logical . . . but who the fuck knows. Also, I get WAY more work done after everyone leaves. Makes sense that’s how most people are.
I am really learning how I would and would not run a shop. I am basically writing my business plan as I work everyday, which is a good thing. I don’t see why not. I think as an entry level you see a lot more than the higher ups do . . . have you ever thought about that . . .? In our place we answer to all the higher ups so we see how they are analyze how they react individually and then adjust to how we work with all of them individually. When you are higher up they don’t really care about the people under them unless they are doing work they will eventually pass off as their own. This is a concept that I still don’t understand . . . maybe as I climb the ladder I will. But who knows . . . maybe that’s something in the industry I would like to change?
All in all I love this oppotunity, it is really an eye opening experience that hopefully will benefit me in the long run. I am learning all the things I love about the industry and all the things that I really hate.
I kind of got my first eye opening experience this past week. The DC yelled at me in front of everyone. To be completely honest though the whole time I was being yelled at I was having flashbacks of Martha Stewarts Apprentice show (yes I know it was only one season) where one of the contestants gets fired and she starts to cry and Martha talks about how important it is for women not to cry. She says something to the nature that business women do not cry. But anyway, I really realized how much our presense in this new place is an adjustment to some. We came in amist some major changes and people are not good with change they like constant and stable. Well . . . get over it.
Another thing is why do people think that my generation thinks that we think we are entitled to everything? I am sure your generation was the same way. Just now with the mass media options instant gratification is possible. Also, your generation has given my generation the opportunities to become rich fast, and to desire these objects that are not worth probably 1/10th of what people charge for them. With that though my generation is forcing change. We are moving towards greener more efficient ways of doing things. We put a black president into office. We are watching your generation fuck up the economy after your generation inflated prices so my generation can’t afford to live off of an entry level salary on our own and many other things. So yes I feel entitled . . . I feel entitled to work hard and reap the appropriate benefits for my work. I feel entitled to climb the ladder, I feel entitled to vacations and traveling and living in a world with endless possibilties. I want to be successful and enjoy this life the same as you.
These are just some of the things I think about . . .
