The Pride Is Gone.

Federal investigation yesterday..  the day ended with our director being "reassigned" indefinitely... so I suppose that just adds more drama to the mix.  I don't know the full details, but the rumor and innuendo is flying about all sorts of misconduct with him.. and another of our staff members... I have never been stupid enough to even consider something like that.  I've always maintained my professionalism at work.. for the most part anyway... I joke around.. but I don't ever let sex or sexual connotations be involved in the work environment. I just know better.   Of course if I was getting some of the benefits that are being discussed... who knows.. I might have just let him have his way with me as well... (I am kidding of course)  ....still it would be the most sex I've had since last year.   No.. I'm not about to "switch teams"  ...and I wouldn't ever consider it.  I maintain an open mind about most things.. but that's just something that has never even peaked my interest in the slightest.  

Power keeps going off here a bit lately... not sure why other than the incompetency of someone somewhere... maybe something wasn't installed correctly somewhere.. That's one of the issues I have with most people nowadays... no one takes pride in what they do.. Everyone is just working to get complete.  I am a firm believer in doing things to the best of your ability.. and then take pride that you have done so.  It doesn't matter how small the project...   I understand that sometimes we have to finish things in a timely manner, so we have to cut ourselves short.. but so many times we are capable of doing so much more. I have the ability to make my life better.. if I would just get more involved in it.   This morning I scanned through my online learning portal for the government.. and I assigned several things to myself to finish by next month... this was last year.. and I have gotten sidetracked.. not getting them done.   But I'm going to change that.. and focus on doing them... even if I have to let other things go.. I am making it a priority.  I want to be prepared for having to look for a new job... because it seems that as incompetent as I feel the center is as a whole.. and that it can't get much worse.. it always seems to exceed my expectations for a lower standard.  I cannot remain supportive of an environment that can cater to such incompetence... and I won't have to worry about it much longer.  Sure.. there are very competent people in various places... but for the most part.. the pride is gone...
