The Three-Pronged Leadership Approach

Feb 10, 2006 16:15

Well, the elation of having internet back, and thus the ability to re-join society from the comfort of my own home has caused this update. Insight Comm., you are terrible. With that said, I hope they will refund the extra month and a half they charged me for, and would be ecstatic to receive an apology for killing my service because of it. Meanwhile, I got a badass new cellular device which allows me to take 1.3MP pictures of all the Inspirations posters found in the BA Merchant Services complex (I will be archiving them shortly). This is my first job in the real corporate world, and I get a unique perspective being the mail-guy. I dont have the bullshit reports to fill out everyday or attend the monthly "Spirit Party"; I just get to watch the poor bastards approach these things from the outside. It's almost like being a producer or writer or something for that show "the Office". We do however have a weekly "team-huddle," where today I had to give five characteristics that make a good leader. Contemplating this while 7 other "associates" stared, I first responded with, "uh... they don't litter." It was the first thing that came to mind, and I thought it would get a good laugh. I quickly realized these schmucks have no sense of humor beyond every morning's Bob&Tom show. So, accepting that the audience was not digging the routine, I had to force myself to say words like compassion, integrity, blahblahblah... Other thoughts: I have new found hope for the intelligence of the everyday citizen/judicial system. The jury of the "Death by Flying Shrimp" suit threw the case out of court. Also, how the hell does a 37 lb. woman give birth to an 8 lb. baby? I just busted out the XP calculator- is that not 22% of her own weight? And what's with the Muslims throwing/burning shit and/or throwing burning shit, all because Goldmember made a cartoon with the Prophet bearing a bomb-shaped turban? I'm gonna go next door and ask em... I leave you with this:
