Wow! I didnt know we worked at the same place! Welcome to the age of spending more time figuring out how to get of work, instead of working. I have 30 year old kids, so Ill say the same to you as I do to them. Any job has what I call the crap factor. Its just a matter of how much crap and who the crap comes from. All jobs have it, even if youre the owner or boss. This is what you have to reconcile within yourself and it will make you feel better, be a better worker and cope with the work issues in life. Youre not there to fix anything. Youre there to do your job and get paid. Youre not there to make friends or getting the latest click group. Gossip is the brother of discontent. You get involved with talking about the crap, well get ready to get pulled in and down. Again youre there to get paid. You dont worry about what everyone else is doing, and yes
.. I know it drives us crazy. Again youre there to get paid. Do your job the best you can and do it in a quite manner. If you like what you do, you can always do it somewhere else. Just know the crap factor is there too! Craig
