Work Life

I used to believe that I was:

• Technical
• Productive
• Motivated
• Resourceful
• Energetic
• Positive
• Valued
• Good Humoured

I come into work, and realize that isn't the case.

Why the hell purely technical people spend all day filling in @#*$@^#$! forms/paperwork for auditors and other pen-pushers is beyond belief.

Don't ask me if I've done your work, it's been 14 days since I've even logged into a Linux system shell due to the amount of bullshit administration crap this beast we call 'the employer' has thrown at me.

At this rate I should have 30 mins in 2 months time, though that's bound to get chewed as some other auditor/manager asking why I haven't done all any technical work by then.

Why a technical company is allowed to be dictated to by clip-board holders and those that have NFI always astounds me.

If you want a company to be productive and profitable, ensure you utilize the skills of those you employ. Don't employ highly skilled technical people and expect them to be satisfied shuffling papers all day. Seriously, monkeys are much cheaper, and don't talk back as much.
