can't sleep...but I must

tomorrow is the big day....new building, new cubicle, 2 new cube neighbors....same old crappy pay grade....I don't even know who my supervisor will be....they haven't even picked a person yet.  I love this feeling of panic, uncertenty,....chaos... I know there are people still fighting these changes, trying to stop the re-org....well, its a bit too late, the ovvices have been moved, the computers set up, and everything is running (pr so IT tells us....I'll believe that when I see it...)  but tomorrow I will shave (yuck, I like looking scruffy) put on my nice shoes, nice pants, Shirt and tie (ug, I feel like a tool just typing that), and go play nice with my new overlords...who ever came up with "thinking outside the box" never worked in a cubicle, in a square building, set up on the edge of a square office district, in a state that is just about the shape of a square.....live in the box, eat in the box, work in the box.....think outside the box...

and my next rant....Teamwork...it's just another way of throwing people in a room together and seeing which one survives the longest....that person is called a "team player", if they do this more than once, they are a "team leader"....and if they do that a few times, you are a "go getter", be a good "go getter" and you can become an "up and commer" do that enough, and they say you have "arrived...this means you no longer get free time, your life is the job and you are expected to die while working....once you have died from over work(or gone insane) the only thing people will ever talk about is how you had "great Potential" and they "aren't sure what happened"....get to the top so you can lose everything that much faster....it would appear that is the way my office works....once you reach a certain level, you have to decide, do you dissapoint everyone for not living up to your potential, or work yourself to death so you can dissappoint everyone by not sticking around through your "prime"...

well....I"m just going to mark this whole thing up to a fairly large ammount of brandy that I drank to help me sleep...untill tomorrow....I'll blog at lunch if IT installed my PC correctly....I'll give them 2-1 odds....I'm betting I'll have to fix what they screw up, restore all of my files, and then do the same for about half of the other people in my section....I love being a geek...it's a good way to earn favors.....
