Mood : exanimate

…You guessed it, after a rather hectic and involving day at work (from my perspective) - everyone else would have probably viewed me more like a headless chicken perhaps?  No…not really :P I just get so frustrated sometimes, when I am expected to perform near miracles due to the short sited approach of certain departments within the organisation I work.

But - I don’t say anything, I simply knuckle down like the professional I am, and smile happily for the customer(s) - soothing them with words like “It’ll be fixed in a jiffy! no worries!”.  Then I log on here after an evening of wine (red of course!) to bemoan it all, and think out loud of all the possibilities this world has to offer. 

I’m not on a bad wage, though some would consider what I am paid is an insult to the profession; I wouldn’t go so far as to say “slave labour”?  It has it’s ups and downs.  I see a bigger picture usually, and so - I remain not happy with my lot, or content, but simply accepting…as I have a roof over my head, a car, and lots of friends - things could be a lot worse.

I know there are people out there that will look at me and think “My god!! What is he moaning about this time?!” - and I would just like to respond to those by replying “you’re absolutley right” - and thank you for humbling me yet again.

I wish from the bottom of my heart that we ALL could live in a society that wasn’t driven by profit margins.  If I knew, I would have a roof over my head, a bed for when I am sick, and food for when I am hungry - if these things were assured, I would give up every possession I have, except for my memories and emotions; those are the only possessions that should be important to anyone? 

Sigh - I remain clueless.  3 score ten years of my life has passed, and still I can’t bring myself to understand the world I live in.

exanimate is the most appropriate mood this time, as I now know it means dis-heartened or spiritless.  All will change of course with a good nights sleep and a glass of Resolve.  Goodnight world :)
