So for the first time in my whole career in the corporate world, I have Presidents Day off. Yes, I'm on my work laptop, but I'm not doing work. I've got a ton of links that I've wanted to share with my friends that read this blog. I know, calling me sporadic would be putting it politely, but I do plan on writing more in the future.
Writing is therapeutic, and with my current role in limbo, it could be helpful to write and sort things out. I don't want to talk much about it, other than the following-I firmly believe that the culture is doomed to fail, I've been bullied (no joke), and last week I went from "it's yours to run" to "You need to make 125 calls and 50 emails a week, your job depends on it". In the span of a weekend, I went from someone who is running a division to an inside sales rep. While there is nothing in and of those job titles, that's a wild swing in role and responsibilities. The one thing I look for in the work space is consistency. Not in the job itself, but in the things around me. Totally not happening.
So what do I do? I'm back to working with my career coach, updating the resume and seeing (quietly) what else may be out there. I was asked if I would relocate, and I would. Pacific Northwest, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, that's about it. No real want to go back east. Besides, folks there are buried in snow. No thank you.
Now, to the links:
I get the president of PayPal's message, but dude, tone it down.
If you want to know what I do for a living, here's part of it...protect your info as best you can, people!
Some legit Resolutions you should try (I'm working on #'s 9 &11).
I'm getting tired of patient information breaches....(sigh)
Ted Talk-The Power of Authenticity. A true motivator for me the last 9 months.
Oh insurance companies...why you suck (and this was before the ACA kicked in!)
I'm being forced to 'get on the phone', but if they'd have asked me I wouldn't care. Oh, but I'm not in advertising, and I don't know anyone who spends 100k from a phone call. Whatevs.
I eon't want to be in a political debate about healthcare. I do want to debate the rules. If you write the law, and put things in the law so that they cannot be changed, and then you change them, then you broke the law.
I get it, all our information could be breached. Hacked. Stolen. You know what happens when you screw up? Be accountable! So damn difficult for technology screw ups these days. And why be accountable? Because we the consumer remember this crap!
I could sit here and mock the Future Feminists of the world, but it's too easy. The bastion of education can't have people be offended by 'art'. Why use quotation marks? Easy-what is art to one isn't too another. It's all subjective. I'm sure some folks think Woody Allen is a fantastic artist in the genre of film. I choose to never ever see any of his films because I think he's a dirtbag. Feminists, like most other causes, went too far. In its origination, there were great ideas and ideals. Now? Read this one, laugh along with me, and mock them. The future of all countries/nations/futures is about to shit the bed. For one simple reason. "You do not have the right to be unoffended. Get over yourself." The tribe has spoken!
I'm done for now, but as always, Damn The Man. Think, while it's still legal.
