I'm afraid these days I just want to get through the day and get paid. I
*used* to care about my job, and it's a decent enough job, however over
the years I've become surrounded by more and more often outsourced
incompetence. What used to be a relatively productive and efficient job
is now bogged down in the absurd level of administratium that comes from
the incompetence around me as well as management trying to keep those
incompetent folks from totally ****ing things up. I sat through a 45
minute con call recently listening to what was essentially a new group
trying to justify their existence and explaining how their entire
function is essentially to duplicate things that already exist and work
just fine. Sad, very sad...
