Less than Professional

Ugh!!!! My whole day yesterday was just out of control. As the day progressed, the more irritated I became. I feel I work in any invironment that is "Less than for professional"...especially among my peers. There are executive assistsants here definitely not qualified for their job, doing the minimum and getting paid top dollar. I have worked in both private and public sector and I find private much, much more to my liking. There is structure, processes and procedures to abide by.

It's the same "status quo" feeling here, even though it's been said that "Process Improvement" is in place. I hear the talk, but definitely do not see the walk. Maybe I am setting my standards as an executive level admin to high for others on my level. What happened to professionalism in this workplace? I am very disappointed with the way things are going.

I know that this can be happening anyplace, but I have NEVER seen on this level any all my years of working. It's very frustrating to try to be effective and no one else will meet you halfway. You get blank looks, half the information your have requested or just thrown out there to figure it out yourself.

RIP ~ Patrick Swayze - 1952-2009



Monday, September 14, Patrick Swayze lost his battle with cancer. I was truly sadden and heartbroken about his death. All the sudden, I wanted to see every movie I liked him in...... as Darry in the Outsiders..... as Truman Gates in Next of Kin..... as Sam Wheat in Ghost......as Dalton in Roadhouse......dress in drag queen Vida in To Wong Foo, thanks for everything, Julie Newmar...his role in Red Dawn......the TV series North and South.....as the crook surfer in Point Break and my favorite.....Johnny Castle in DIRTY DANCING!!!!!
I play to have a Patrick Swayze weekend and watch them all...or maybe two weekends......REST IN PEACE....Patrick....take all the love inside we have for you... with you....
