Job Rants Thread – 2/23/2024 – Getting Organized

Hey, all; Happy And Healthy Friday –

Well, that’s it. I’ve been putting it off for too long, now; and there’s really nothing for it. I am finally…Going to get that shave and a haircut I’ve been putting off.

Sad, isn’t it, when one is so disorganized, that becomes the rallying point for their day; yet here we are. Of course, that’s not my only goal for today, but it’s still a start; and that’s often all you need. Both when employed and unemployed, I find that it’s all too easy to…Settle in to the chaos around you. I’m not even talking about the times when a project or deadline feels so insurmountable that you just lock up. I’m talking about those times where your brain doesn’t even register just how deep in chaos you are until one day: WHAM! You suddenly notice the 12 drink cans and odd, discolored stain on your desk that is old enough to be worn into the material, but still recent enough to be uncomfortably sticky.

Well, currently I find myself in the unenviable position of being both the desk user and the stain; which, to put it frankly, sucks. Thankfully, both can be easily remedied with a quick bit of effort and polish; so off I go. In the meantime, the rest of you get to ranting. And clean up your work areas; this doesn’t reflect well on you or the company!


As ever, have a safe and productive rest of the day, safe trip home, if out, and great weekend. And remember: The key to conquering chaos is sometimes just as simple as a tube of cleaning wipes.
