So many ways to look at the daily experiences, none better or worse than others, just different. Working for someone else, collecting a paycheck every two weeks and going into the same American rut as millions of other people can be the worst feeling possible.
Get up in the morning, get dressed, get in the car, drive to work, spend the next 8 or more hours waiting to go back home. Sound like the daily grind or what. It seems to me that the entire process is just wrong.
I would be willing to work from sun up on Saturday to sun up on Monday then take the next four or five days off. I am sure that if the system had consulted me before creating the existing schedule it would have worked much better. Certainly it would have been more user friendly.
The ability to work from home is another possibility that could be explored by many of us. I have noticed in the past that when working from home the boss usually figures that you can work longer due to the fact that you are at home in the comfort of that environment. So I am not sure that working from home is actually a viable alternative.
I can see sometime in the future that everyone will be able to automate the working situation by creating some sort of proxy system. The answer is certainly in the technology to come. Let's hear it for stem-cell research and clones.
No matter how you view the problem it is just that, a problem. Of course it is not so bad that we cannot live with it, I am just thinking that improvements are in order.
Thanks for listening.
