Ambition........

Some people have it and some people don't. Ambition is a wonderful thing for a person to have in their life, because if you have it when you're young, chances are you'll have it as you grow old as well. It's a valuable possession; precious as gold. With ambition on your side, you can't go wrong. It can be as simple as having the ambition to get out of bed in the morning, which in turn can lead to actually getting dressed and venturing outdoors for the day. Or it can be as great as having the ambition to decide to go to school, pursue a college education and go on to greater things in life. Ambition is the key to a successful life........or so they say. For every ambitious person out there, there's also someone out there who is just willing to accept whatever life brings (I sometimes wonder if those people have ambition). For some, working overtime is never a problem, while others stand around the time clock waiting to cheat time. People percieve ambition differently, and rightly so; not everyone is created equal. I struggle to understand why some people seem to have more ambition than others; then again, maybe I'm blind and don't really see the ambition that some people truly have. I've come to the conclusion that ambition, whichever kind a person possesses, can be an expensive yearning, one that requires an enormous emotional investment. Like any investment though, it can pay off in countless different kinds of coin. The trick is recognizing the riches when they come your way!

Freaky Friday......

Another one bites the dust....another week that is. Today was what I would consider another Freaky Friday at the office. It started off like any other Friday would, but soon the tension in the air was very noticeable and there it seemed to hang like dirty socks in a locker room; getting stinkier by the minute. Or maybe the stink really was just the dirty dishes in the sink, hmmm, another bone of contention at the office. I did say "freaky" right?

Another day at the office.......

Well, another day goes by at the office and the craziness continues. So many of us remember "the good old days" when bosses used to be bosses and secretaries used to be secretaries. Yup, back in the "good old days" the boss would actually KNOW what a report was and how to complete it and the secretary would worry if there was enough ribbon in the typewriter to type the report up and restock the envelopes in the supply closet after noticing they were getting low. Boy, those were the good old days, when you got paid a fair wage for the work you actually did. So much has changed in the office; some good and some bad... but then again, I suppose life goes on.... Or as they say, SHIT happens!
