So, I've been struggling a bit with the "failure to communicate" here at work.  It suddenly just dawned on me what's wrong, why there's failure to communicate, why the people here can't seem to grasp the concept of team work, and why they have to ask "why can't a person just do their damn job... what the hell does getting along with people have to do with anything?"

I'm in fucking utah.  I had assumed that business was business, but it's not.  You're handicapped by the labor pool available to you and the leaders that you pick to guide the company.

I had a snotty email from my boss about me informing him that a person on the "team" had email issues and didn't automatically get shop orders.  His response?   "We know that, his boss knows that, he knows that."   He didn't know that and why when i talked to him.   NO announcement went out informing other team members that one of the people on our team might not be reachable and thus that we should make an extra effort....

There are other issues I've been fuming about and then I realized... I'm in motherfucking utah.  DUH!   It's the same feeling I had in highschool when I thought I was average despite being in the top 3-5% and then someone had to actually point it out and I went... "oh... really???? oh..."  (which begs to argue, if i couldn't make that connection, what the fuck i was doing in the top 3-5%!!!)

I can't fucking wait for the weekend.

If I were offered a job elsewhere (say... portland) and I had to decide today... today I'd take it.   I might change my mind when i calm down, but I'm pretty pissed about multiple work things.   It comes down to an inability to do my job to the best of my ability and a compromise of service due to weak links in the service chain.   We lost an AE and it's possible we're about to lose another because the service fucking sucks internally.   There are people who came over from my old company and they asked me certain questions, which at the time were correct and now they're not (or if they still are NO effort is being made to COMMUNICATE that... which is also a part of my issue) and so I feel partly responsible for the crap THEY have to deal with and broken promises not by me but by management.  After all, I said this was a good place to go and they listened, at least in part.  There were multiple reasons they came where i was and i WAS a part of that.

Of course there are people in a portland blog that don't seem to understand why creationism is bad... and NOT BLOODY FUCKING SCIENCE!!!  So then I wonder if it's just in the damn water in this country.

While I'm ranting... livejournal... you fucking SUCK ASS!!!!   seriously... I don't get emails when people respond to me and now i'm having issues even commenting on other's comments.  Damn.

Here's to home.  Here's to Jessica.  Here's to a weekend of WoW and going brain dead... at least until monday when I should probably start to resurface back into the real world so I don't go into shock on tuesday.
