coffee thought...

Thursday Coffeethought
So today pre-coffee I will have a little rant:
Today's topic-
Why can't people just do their flicking job?
Yes I said it. Their job.
Apparently at one point in life you applied for it, wanted it, and strive to do it.
You got hired. Great.
 Now, here you are 2 weeks, 6 months, and 5 years and you are in here just skating by, floating on and not even working in some sense. What is maddening is that NO ONE forces you to do this. No one holds a whip over you or locks you in a room.
You get compensated. You get a paycheck. You are supposed to do your job for as long as you are given this task and yet you fall short AND want to complain because this is not your vocation. whose fault is that?
You use your time here in the everyday aspect to foster the other things you want to do in life (great- everyone has goals dreams and a life outside of work that just does wonders for their soul [if they don't then they need to]) but does your actual work slip because you are not working at work? really? how about you do your job--Your job you know the thing you get paid to do suffers.
and along them lines...
I think I am going to have to start monitoring the tone of my employees. This is not the DMV. You do not get to speak to people just anyway. They are calling here, stopping in for help- even if this means they did not read the things that were sent to them earlier in or you repeated yourself ten times. No, this does not mean you are there to be abused or demeaned - no one I but you have got to get it together. act like you are working in a customer service environment (there's a shocker-- you are) and be helpful. treat them as you want to be treated when you are seeking help or are unclear of what is going on.

i am just saying.

that's all.
