My latest work rant
Excerpt of email issued to my group (my mental health is soon to be questioned, if it has not already):
---------------------------
At many times during our professional careers, we find ourselves confronted with daily "battles" that, on occasion, take on a life of their own. In their midst, we struggle to keep sight of the real priorities in our lives, but too often fall to placing unwarranted importance on differences and conflicts that are, ultimately, petty. These trivial burdens even drown out those times in our daily work life when successes arise. As a result, the "job well done" often goes unnoticed, or, if noticed, passes without the proper praise or gratitude. It is time that culture change. It is time to speak out so good work is lauded. It is time that we thank those who make our world, however local, a better place.
Of course, I am speaking of whomever decided to load Coke Zero in the vending machine. May that wise and brave individual live to be a thousand years old.
