It’s time to get to work!

Posted by Joshua On May - 30 - 2009

cargoThat’s right all you lazy bastards, it’s time to get to work.

Play time is over. We have a lot of work to do and it’s up to us to make it happen. This country has been hijacked and run straight in to the ground by our last administration. But we spoke up, we said no more and now we have to do the work to make this country worth living in again. It’s not up to Obama, it’s up to us. We have elected a leader that has put the responsibility and onus squarely on us, which is exactly how it should be. It’s we the people, not We the Bush family.

So get off your lazy fat asses, take the FUCKING hogie out of your word hole, put down the FUCKING remote control and DO SOMETHING. Contribute to our society SOMEHOW other than just taking up space, oxygen and resources that could be used for someone who deserves them. Stop blaming other people for the state of affairs and do something about it. Don’t like the tax code? FUCKING work to change it! Don’t like your boss? FUCKING look for another job! Don’t like your neighbor? FUCKING move and stop FUCKING complaining about everything.

We are SICK of listening to you complain. We are sick of your fat lazy asses taking up space in this country. We are SICK of standing in line behind you while you gawk at the picture of the alien craft that landed at the Whitehouse and how to lose those last 5 pounds of baby fat. Just buy your shit and get the fuck out of my way. See, if you had a sense of responsibility or something OTHER to do than stand in line at the fucking piggly wiggly than you would just buy your shit and move on like the rest of us that are trying to get out line so we can go be productive.

in closing, I only have this to say.

If you were offended by this in anyway, then YOU are one of the people that are taking up space and you should do one of two things.

1) Get your life together and realize that you are not special or different in anyway. You are not entitled to anything special because you are black or brown or fat or a girl. Get your head out of your ass and do something that will contribute something back for the resources, space, oxygen and food that you are consuming as you waddle your fat ass across the landscape.

2) Do one selfless act in your life and go jump off a fucking bridge so the rest of us don’t have to bear the burden of your worthless sack of skin.

That is all for now, Have a good day.

Think you’re not to blame?

ceoThe auto industry and our previous administration have effectively FORCED us to pay for cars that we don’t want. How awesome is that.

I do think that as awful as this bailout it, maybe it will teach us all a lesson for the future. Maybe we will pay closer attention to what is going on and maybe we will think twice before everyone rushing out to buy tank sized cars to cart around our 3 snot nosed kids all over town fourteen times a day. Maybe this is a good lesson for us all. Maybe we will change our habits and think more like responsible adults rather than a family of fat southern tourists in line for a fried Twinkie at the county fair.

Unfortunately there will always be those dummies in the world that don’t learn anything, that just keep their heads buried in the sand with a flag in one hand and a bible in the other yelling to themselves that Jesus will make everything alright. Yeah, there will always be those people to enrage the rest of us. It’s too bad really that we don’t all evolve at once. I guess when you really look at it it’s not their faults. I mean I don’t blame rats for being stupid, they just don’t know any better, so I suppose I should not blame the dummies for ruining this country, but I still do.

In closing, I only have this to say.

Don’t be a dummy. Think about things before you act upon them and start thinking as if you live in a community of people, not on an island alone. Remember that we are all in this together, we all only have one shot and no one is any more or less responsible than anyone else for this mess that we are in. It is OUR faults we are here and it will be OUR choice to get out or not.

That is all for now. Have a good day.

Think it cant happen to you?

depression
I am going to be talking again today about getting to work.

The company I work for just recently laid off a Sr. level team member. He was a fantastically smart and talented person and he will be missed. However, this just goes to show that (especially) in this economy, your degree and your pedigree will get you nowhere. It’s about producing results, and results people, takes hard ass work.

It takes coming in early and leaving late.
It takes never saying “That’s not my job”.
It takes stepping outside your comfort zone.
It takes fighting through your “afternoon sleep time”.
it takes discipline.
It takes hard work and a whole lot of it.

You have to want it more than the next guy because believe me there are 1,000’s of other people out there just as talented, just as smart, just as driven, that have the same degree as you that will work more, work for less and do it with a smile because they are just happy to have a job. So, you better keep that in mind the next time you find yourself chatting around the water cooler, or watching youtube, or talking to a friend at length about the new shoes you bought or the date you want on last night. No one cares and believe me you are being watched by the higher ups.

You have to put in 150% every waking second to survive. The days of resting on your degree, pedigree or work history are over. You have to produce results and by that I mean you had better be able to prove to someone that you are valuable enough to keep around when the cold hand of “reorg” comes calling, which it will.

Just to let everyone know, I take my own advice. I have been up since 3:00am this morning preparing for a meeting I have today and doing some other work related things. I am writing this post while I eat my breakfast and I will be leaving for work @ 6:00am even though I am not expected there until 8ish. I will work a full day today no matter how I feel about it. I will put in my 150% and I will do my best to do it with a smile because it is indeed a privilege, not a right, to be working.

In closing I have this to say.

Don’t be stupid. Get your ass out of bed. Fight through your “I’m tired “feelings. Remember you are always being watched and evaluated. And most importantly don’t expect any sympathy if you get put on the chopping block because more than likely it was your own damn fault. Now get to work!

That is all for now, Have a good day.
