Ok, well the office environment might nit be for everyone, I have been told by family and friends that they would rather be working outside in the sun, doing hard labor…and the thought of been cooped up in a build all day long, looking though the blinds seeing the sun and blue skies, just would not be the thing for them…I sort of laugh and then I tell them of some of the things I hear and they smirk…hmmm…well then maybe it would be fun…NAH.
So, anyhow, the whole office environment sort of grows on you and actually you need to work with a special set of people in order for you to enjoy doing your job, now of course it is important to enjoy what you do, but of course having the right people working next to you can make a huge difference. I mean think about it, if you sat next to a quite, nerdy person that really did not get involved in office life it might make for long days, of course some actually enjoy the quite cubicle mate. Now, of course you have those neighbors that well…you know…yapp up a storm and pretty much share everything and anything with you…sometimes it could be sort of weird…but other times it really is funny…and you think you had it bad…well…just stop and listen to your cubicle mates you might be in for a surprise and realize your life is not so bad…LOL….only saying.
You know though, things have changed even in the office environment, people really don’t talk as much and are almost looking over their shoulder every second of the day, or wondering if the next day they will still have a job to come to; this makes for a very stressful office environment, but I guess the way you can look at it, is that hey…you have a J.O.B. doesn’t make it right, but you know the pot locks, the birthday decorations the special events, they have sort of disappeared form today’s corporate world…and people have had no real reason to socialize at work. Now, it seems that with the combination of the economy, extra work duties, finances at home, has led to more outside gathering that are mostly Happy Hours…people are taking to drinking to enjoy a peaceful moment and forget the worries of that they…even if for a few hours. But this can lead to many issues later in their life that could put them out of work…but it seems to be a norm…what can you say.
Talking about drinking and today’s youth; I have noticed a huge shift to Vodka as been the choice of drink…and the majority of consumption by the younger generation….I hear it everywhere, at work, online, forums, chats, emails, friends…everywhere…wow. I recall that a 40 was the big thing back in the day, now its Red Bull and vodka…LOL. So, what causes these changes, beside the economy creating stress? I mean I know we all have been through a generation of craziness, but what brings about the change, ok…well.I guess it could be the media, celebrities’, or maybe it’s just a new thing that catches on at school…weird. Anyways…so back to the Dilbert thing, once again if you get a chance read a few strips, I believe now you can find it online…nice…and see what you think…I am telling you…it is totally funny and scary true.
My perspective:
Work hard at work, but keep them ears perched, because you never know what you might catch. I know mom said never to listen in on other peoples conversation and never interrupt a conversation or only speak when spoken to…but come on…we need to keep on top of things and the office is a great place for NEWS FLASHES…lol.
So, I’ll cut it short here and try and be back again…I know I have been slacking on my posts, but I try and pick up the paste…you know I have so many thing son my mind…to share…I just need to start sharing…well…ok…I need to make time and start typing and posting. Till next time Latino Man signing off.
