We live in a world of things, and our only connection with them is that we know how to manipulate or to consume them.
So it is Theme Thursday again, and when this post appears I shall be sitting at the desk I have photographed above wishing that I was anywhere but here. The theme then, is apt: VACATION. The trouble - of course - is that what I really need is a permanent and everlasting and everlasting one!
Two weeks is not enough. Hell, two YEARS is not enough. I want to retire right now!
You see, my problem is a familiar tale: I've become alienated from my Gattungswesen. It turns out that Marx was right! I can never truly become an autonomous, self-realised human being, except the way that the bourgeois want me - the worker bee - to be realised. Moreover, I don't blame the capitalist, not at all. My J'accuse! is firmly pointed in the direction of the sort of do nothing do gooders who not only tolerate, but perpetuate mediocrity in their monotonous, wretched and insipid insistence that ‘merit’ equals ‘time served’.
I'm jammed stuck inside this stahlhartes Gehäuse - which, incidentally is not an iron cage - but to be frank it damn sure feels like one right now!
I don't want to interface with stakeholders. You can stick your predictors of beaconicity where you first noticed your slippage (oooh er missus), and I honestly do hope that the throughput is a holistic experience for you, because I need a break. One doesn't action, task or enable a person in the real world, the paradigm is dead brother so move on.
If anyone is looking for me, I am the one in the toilet, crying...

and watch the throughput there buddy... : )
My son you only have thirty more years, now that the Government has given us the right to work until 67.
Think of your father, he has already put in 44 years. That isn't counting the years as a paperboy nor cleaner after school. Bite the bullet.
Like the pics of the kiddies and you've got a WINDOW!!!
But a rotten job...
right here!
I have a vague feeling that you need to get away for a while?
1. they always need more interviewers for the IDRS, or,
2. you could always finish the thesis.
:-))
Ur desk looks nice in a photograph, just like mine looks when i am sharing it with friends. But when one has to sit at it and, WORK, that is when it becomes really painful...
But you are again right, having no job is worse than having a job that one hates.

As much as I enjoyed the post itself, I think I liked this line even more!
"I can never truly become an autonomous, self-realised human being, except the way that the bourgeois want me - the worker bee..."Your quote above kind of, reminds me of the something that the character in author George Orwell's novel 1984 would probably say...
hmmm...a very interesting TT post...Thanks, for sharing!
DeeDee ;-D
