Having the Blues

Another bad day at work. You wonder is it all worth it. I hate to spend the rest of my life doing what I'm doing. All the passion now drained. But I've to try to adapt, to understand, to learn...

So what's the issue about work? Well, I've a change of job scope; it's more to the front line, an advisory role to clients now. Lying, appeasing and persuading. By hook or by crook, you satisfy the clients, or at least pray that they don't complain against you.

No, it's not really the external customers I have problems with; it's more the internal. There is always a war out there between my team and the other branch. And I need to get out of the firing line. Or maybe I need to have a talk with Hitler's Young one of these days, to put my mind right.

It occurs to me that I first need to treat the "internal customers" as what they are: customers. That is the first step and the most important. I'm not saying this is absolute. Or maybe I should? There have to be give and take between people, I always thought. But it does not seem to be the case here. That's why they are the customers, we the slaves - the inferior race. What did I just say? I definitely need to cast that thought away. Definitely.
