When we were young, the stars weren’t even the limit. We had our goals high and proudly told others what we were going to be when we grew up. As we grew up, plans naturally changed, and we adapted. But who would have thought we would have spent a lot of time on activities that would be of marginal value?
Inspired by a previous post I wrote on ways of working (which has a positive spin on it) with a cameo by the Monster.com commercial, I created this video.
When I grow up, I want to stay until 5, even when I have nothing to do.
I want to suppress common sense for company policy.
Strive for mediocrity.
Learn not to take chances.
Not state the obvious because I fear retribution.
I want to pretend like I’m not on Facebook.
On Twitter.
On Youtube.
When I grow up
When I grow up
I want to hord information so I’m still valuable.
Learn only in a training room.
Follow old processes even if it doesn’t make sense.
Play political games just to keep my job.
I want to make things up for my year end review.
Fight traffic to do work I could have done at home.
Be forced to attend worthless meetings.
Write reports that no one will read.
(how do you want to work?)
(there is a better way.)
