The idea of creating a blog is something I never really considered. I
realized that sitting back and living my 9 to 5 work life has left me
uninspired, unmotivated and really unhappy. My employer likes to run
things the way that made the business successful, which is
understandable, except the way they run things is like going back to the
future (early 1980s), we still use 15" CRT monitors, Green & White
dot matrix printer & paper, DOS based programs and make triplicate
copies of pretty much everything we do . We are consistently told we
need to save money yet every single idea my fellow coworkers and I come
up with gets turned down. I believe this is what happens to big
businesses when there is never any new blood brought in, they are
afraid of change and the idea that some young inspired employee might
have an idea on how to do something smarter, faster, cheaper and
someone may find they are replaceable. So instead they turn us into
robots (my number is 5996), Everyday is Exactly the Same.
I
have long admired my wife for being a small business owner and making
it thrive, even when the economy turned bad. When I think of her and
what she has been able to accomplish, I have the exact opposite feeling
of how my job makes me feel, I am inspired. I am hoping I can use that
and create something special, intriguing and a little different.
