thinking i am done….

i have been thinking about it lately, i am think i am done with my good ol’ corporate job.

see, it’s been okay to me over the years. close. somewhat creative. good people. benefits. etc….

lately though? i look around and people not even qualified to make certain decisions seem to be at the helm. i mean, i think that’s great and all that people are given the chance to explore new areas, but it’s become a bit of an embarrassment for me.

it all kinda started when they (read: the proverial “man”…’cept she is a “she”) informed me that our new “model” would be another manager’s daughter. needless to say, can you say conflict of interest? i didn’t like it from the start, but apparently it was me that was being “unprofessional” for voicing my concern over the subject. which is fine, i am confident in my “professional” decisions and knew it was only a matter of time before the unprofessionalism of this would come to light.

fast forward a whole 3 months, and naturally people started to see my point.

now let me elaborate a bit here. see, it wasn’t so much that i objected to the blatant conflict of interest….as much as i was just afraid we would ruin this poor girl. a photographer with a conscience? i know, silly concept. either way this girl was not a model and was having her head filled with delusional thoughts of unrealistic ideals.

welcome to southern california i guess?

either way, that is what started my downhill lack of interest.

well, i tried to maintain a positive attitude over the whole ordeal for the past 6 months. tried, being the key here. needless to say, i find myself here 6 months later and still not all that jazzed about what is going on.

to sum it up? i have seen monkey poop fights more organized than what i am constantly dealing with. i wish i could say i had the ability to just magically fix it, but alas….no one seems to wanna listen.

therefore, i am pretty sold on the idea that it is just simply time to move on to things more enriching and personally satisfying.

great song and vid.
