Office Politics

Today I was sitting in my office, listening to music (or not really listening to music but having music on that I was paying no attention to).

And I realize that life (this is nothing about my employer at all) is a popularity contest. And it’s a contest I just don’t care for. Why?

I hate attention. Except when it comes from a certain boyfriend of mine…

One day, they’re going to gather around and say “YOU’RE PROMOTED” and I’ll be the first one to be like “Back to work, back to work…”

Only reason to get promoted is to make more money. Otherwise, if I can make all the money from the bottom of the food chain, goddammit, I’m in. My happiness is not in my job (no matter which company I work for). I have a job to support my happiness (as in things like moving out with my boyfriend, going to places, watching movies, such things…).

This can probably also explain why I can’t become as passionate about OMG HTML as I’ve seen some people have at previous jobs/gigs.
