Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifteen, Dateline 8-3-2018
/
“Change before you have to.”
Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifteen of Operation Achieve Anything. Once again, we're at a Friday, and my should-be-simple day-job is about to drive me out of my mind. As I think I said last week, or possibly the week before, the work itself is a breeze, but the leadership has me feeling that this is a social experiment and not a gig that adds any real value to this world.
I think this is why I've always had such a hard time with the day jobs I've had that created the cliche feeling of being nothing more than a cog in a machine. Whether I was working in printshops busting my ass to copy duplicate files to keep on record and not to read, for law firms, or printing manuals to be shipped with equipment just to be thrown away, I never felt like I was doing anything all important for pay.
This job's the worst because it involves search evaluations that is only a job because the task requires a human eye to be able to sort out subtle differences. The problem is that most of the differences are subjective, which is the whole reason that robots can't do the job, so we bottom feeders get pulled back and forth by the leadership who audits our work with, what seems to be, a fifty/fifty shot that they'll agree with your interpretation of the rules. To make things worse, we get audited by various people who all have their own views, making the fifty/fifty shot I just mentions an even more random outcome.
I really shouldn't let it drive me so nuts but I just really can't stand contradictions, even though I live with plenty of them myself. I think this is my issue with morals, which has been the Achieve Anything... book's theme for this week. More than anything, I don't like this my side vs. your side split at this current time in history because both sides just want what's best for them and bash each other over issues that they don't seem to mind when it comes from within.
This kind of leads into my assignment from yesterday where I was supposed to describe the moral conditions at this time. As I started to say, the "my side vs. your side" mentality is probably the most damning moral development of this time. Though there have always been many splits in our culture, it now feels like if you don't choose a side one will be assigned to you. It's to where an independent thinker like myself will be accused as supporting both sides when really, they support neither. This is thanks to a line of thinking where the enemy of my friend is my enemy even if they are an enemy of my enemy as well. There's just no more working together at all.
We're also morally bankrupt as we scream about the environment while worshiping money hoarders by buying their goods with every new update that comes. Other than food and cleaning products there isn't an item that I should have to replace every single year, but at least we use these items to complain.
Even the assignment for today bashes a fictional guy named Rob who was actively against staying on top of technology as if his life would have been much better if he would have just given in and bought up everything when it was new. Granted, I think the idea is more about Rob avoiding the technology as a tool and not as a person who ran his equipment to the grand before replacing it, but even then, if a person doesn't want to move on, maybe we should just let them be. I mean, look at how we all complain about how much we all stare at screens.
Maybe Rob is actually the smart one in this incidence because he's not a slave his phone or any of the subscription service that now plagues this time where nothing can be owned. Alright, it's time for me to cut this off before I start to ramble. That said, if you do like that sort of thing, check in tomorrow when I will complete this thought as part of my next update. Until then, it's now time for me to wrap this thing up as usual by saying, good day and good luck to you and all of your project.
Talk to you soon.
Sincerely,
The Wicker Breaker
