Work is just that - WORK...

The Rat race is on and in line with its policy there are no winners...

The problem with the rat's maze is that the scientist is the only person who has an overview of what works and which path(s) is/are a total dead end...

The rat is obviously none the wiser and keeps at it - dead end after dead end with no greater aim in sight... After repeated attempts to gain freedom or get to the cheese or what ever tasks the scientist has in mind - it begins to grasp an understanding of its surroundings and environment and maybe - just maybe a better understanding of just what it is involved with...

If only the rat knew...

Work is something that continually defies explanation - at least to me.
I'm working in an environment that requires me to be some what trained to a level that will allow me to provide the much needed support to my clients - unfortunately, training is selectively dished out because there are "others" whom the company considers more productive or maybe because i haven't yet ascended to THAT level or proved my "mettle"...

You've not yet been "confirmed" which makes you work your ass for what type of commendation?

I'm actually racially prejudiced against my own race because we've sold our right to think...
The black man is a slave to "now" - a mentality that forces him to think of only short term measures and plans...
You are rewarded along the traditional line of:
Time instead of demonstrated intelligence - as my friend said one is supposed to work smarter not harder - the black man believes otherwise.

This means that he constantly plans around short or at best medium term goals - which means that like the rat stated above he is constantly kept engaged by those with higher or broader agendas...

Work and the work environment is like a maze - full of perennial traps, ego clashes, tension and unnecessarily induced job pressures - most jobs in the country are not exactly defined by professional work ethics and we are all to blame for this.

Training is done on the job and often involves stumbling around until you get a partial picture you can work with - then maybe you can begin to have a better grasp of issues....

Which in essence means that you are self taught and more grudging about passing or sharing knowledge.
