I wish I had boots......

Today was a day that could have brought a new hope, a new way of being an employee, a good, if not great employee. But, instead, even more of the cow towing (is that spelled right for a word that probably doesn't really exist??!). Oh well, I guess the best lesson I can take away from this demeaning, slap in the face is to not take too much pride in a job well done. That gives your efforts value, and guess what?!!! No one else values you or your work. So it is sad to say this, but if you work extra hard, and take pride in the quality of your work, someone for some reason will find it not a good thing and slap your happy, little ass right down!!! Boy, some lessons are hard to learn. At least for me!! But, I think I finally got it!!! Do the minimum on the job, but make it seem like your busting your ass, instead of really give a dam and really busting your ass. Somehow, a job can evidently be done too well which seems to scare the hell out of others, some of them in the "higher up" category and they'll bring you down!!!! I don't pretend to understand all of this, but now it's clear, even to stupid, dense, me, that although jobs are at a premium, the worst thing I can to do is a good job. Act like your struggling to just maintain the basic requirements of the job and all will be well for you. Dam, I've been so wrong for so long I know it will be difficult to adjust, but I plan on being the best pretender/slacker, and the least accomplished employee that ever existed!!!! Just watch me!!!! The *#@@@ is really getting deep around here, boy do I wish I had boots!!!!!! Hope everyone else has a really good day.
