Limitless

No Comments

One of the staff on a recent project described talking to me as being a little bit like watching limitless, which I guess is a good thing.  I had better live up to it.

I will be releasing the first mix shortly.  We shall see how it goes, I do not plan to make a big deal out of it.  I have another two projects to launch and a lot of work to do now that I am not held back by the millstone of other people.

I think the summer planned project over egged the pudding quite a bit given that all I actually have to do to start a revolution is teach people how to express joy.  I was trying to get them to even discuss putting their hands in the air on the project and the response was terror.

It is quite alarming that people are so incredibly small.  We need to change that to get them to even think about changing their habits and work with them.

I have another couple of minor things to do in the meantime.  Boris is doing very well, but the sooner I can get some things done the better.

So happy not to have to deal with some things.

Here is today’s song for Staring Brat 2. Although we will never see each other again because you are a coward, at least I know how to make you smile.  I like thinking about you smiling.

I miss Staring Brat 2

No Comments

That’s a shame isn’t it?I was sitting today in the middle of yet another miserable situation at work, looking at the other person who used to work on the project and thinking how much I miss him.

You never can tell what’s going to float your boat.  Apparently I like being stared at and having a nervous wreck quivering whilst being horrible to me.  Apparently that’s my thing.

You’re a horrid boy for being married and annoying. Sulks.

They fired the first person yesterday

No Comments

Things are pretty normal in Land of the Disposable People.  They fired the first of our team yesterday.  I assumed it would be me as the epicentre of potential trouble, but no, instead they went for a ferociously bright Muslim girl of 30 who is temporarily discombobulated by the fact that she is about to be forced into an arranged marriage.

She is quite difficult to have a direct conversation with because of her temporary confusion, but she has had some great jobs, so she certainly isn’t dim.

This is likely to continue for the next three months or so until they get rid of not only the team I am in, but the team they took on following it, which is even bigger, and the reason is nothing to do with our work, presentation, actions or manner.

No, the reason is that we are working for a global company, who used a global agency, who paid a global rate.

Since 2014 I have scanned the national job advertisements and there is now a significant difference, up to 100 percent in places in wages for the same job at the same company, just on the grounds of where you live in the UK.

Remarkably few people are aware of this, because most people have a significantly easier time finding work than I do.

This is because my CV indicates that I am likely to know more about the job I am doing than they do and employers do not like it. I was comparing notes with a 19 year old who tends to get the jobs I do not get, and he was horrified at the jobs I was not to be considered for.

That, however is not the point of today’s post.  The point of today’s post is that diversity statistics are maintained by companies who can say that they took on at the correct ratio via an agency, and then fire them by any means they feel like, because like me, these people have no rights. This is not useful, cheap or interesting.

I was informed by a 20 something man in a heavy metal t shirt and knee length denim cargo shorts of the dress code yesterday.  I did not laugh.

Explained the logo to some amused morons.  They still can’t explain to me why a joyful middle aged woman is so shocking.

What the fuck are you feeding yourselves? This is an ideocracy.
