Today

At one point this blog was used to express my feelings and to keep track of my daily life. I enjoy writing and love to practice this ability. My blog has evolved into a wacky mixture of humor and the 'happy' version of my life. I get about 40-70 hits a day from all over the world. Many of these people are daily readers. It makes me feel like this blog has a purpose most of the time.

I don't know if any of you know this but I work in one of the biggest white collar corporate companies in Minnesota. I come here everyday and I head to my 6x6 cube and sit on my ass. Occasionally, I have to get up to go to the printer, fax and bathroom. On good days I head to the down stairs warehouse and accounts payable to pick up or fix up another problem.

I have worked here nearly 10 years and I'm only 30. Have you ever thought you would be doing what you are doing? I never ever saw myself doing what I'm doing and living how I'm living. In fact, I never even saw my life past 29 for entire life. I didn't think I'd ever get this far but here I am.

I have developed this routine of going to work everyday, in the same cube, on the same account, with the same people, experiencing the same problems over and over. I'm stuck in this buidling without a window visible to me unless I walk 4 paces and face north. I go to meeting after meeting to try and improve the 'process' and 'think outside the box'.

Nothing changes. It's the same thing over and over with a different slogan attached to it. Stephen Covey 7 Habits, F.I.S.H, R.M.M, and now it's Six Sigma. If I lived my life the way corporate America spends money on bullshit crap I would be unemployed, homeless, on welfare, in jail and some sort of reoffending drug and alcohol addict.

Today, I realized that this not how I want to spend the rest of my life. Working my ass off, stressing my life out for a salary that is barely enough to maintain my life in this economy. Today I'm crabby. Today my post is dreary but you will just have to deal. Today I'm started the steps to get out of this prison. Today I'm drawing a map.
