I'm an engineer, and most of what I design never gets made, and if it does get made, it never gets used. Priorities change daily, but organization of effort toward a goal is never a priority.
Not caring is not my first choice, but it is the only way to maintain my sanity. When I gave 110%, I burnt out quick, with nothing to show for it. I DO need a new job, but unemployment in Cali is still over 12% so I'm fairly stuck at the moment. I've been reading and learning alot about economics and finance so that I can learn to make money from home. I'm also going to school to get an accounting degree so I can be self-employed one day. It's just that, in the short term, I still have to play the clusterfuck game, and act like everyone is actually doing something and I'm part of the winning team.
Makes me want to puke out my ass.

sounds very familiar... i have a feeling every corporation once they exceed 50,000 employees becomes a gigantic clusterfuck where 20% of the people make 80% of the money for the company and everything is completely disorganized and overall just fucked
guess it's the american way???
