Once Again

Once again I ponder the state of life, the universe, and whatever. After re-reading my post over four years ago I see the basis hasn't changed.  If anything things are worse.  Take a moment to look around you as you go through your day.  People just aren't happy overall.  It seems everyone is stressed out about something.  The economy is in the tank and the average person on the street, either trying to make a living or trying to survive (or more likely both) doesn't see any end or improvement in site. It is refreshing to see some brave folks around the country protesting.  Let's stand outside some building or street corner hold up signs, yell at the passing cars and maybe sing a protest song or two.  I'm sure the good folks that are making the decisions that cause our fuel prices or food prices to increase while our wages stall will at least be amused.  It most likely won't do a thing to improve our lot.

I wrote before about the lack of customer service.   That lack is still there.  But where's the incentive?  I'm one that was raised to go to work early each day, work hard and be rewarded for my efforts.  I still do that and always will.  But I look around at those folks that pass through my day.  Barely skating by, doing as little as possible and getting the same pay and  increase in salary as I do.  While the demands for improvement pile on.
