Gone again

I quit my job.

Next work day 03/01/2006.

Why does earning a living suck so much that is the question.

Is it nobler to while away the days in pursuit my own concern?

Nay, it is a question of fiduciary means.

The child like pursuit of reward and appreciation in deference to ones own interests is a depressing objective in life. Is this what we strive to give to our children. Knowing this truth is a sad thing.

Imagination put to directed tasks is my lot for the time being. At least some creative margin is allowed. Not hard labour but labouring to balance the will and limits of capital.

I sign the intellectual property form knowingly and knowing my labours will make profit. My rewards; cash, a pat on the head and perhaps greater marketability for the next shift.

I accept my folly joining this company. It was the third large multi-national I have worked for. Perhaps the most stifling. Certainly the most bureaucratic and over administered. I know these are not good places for an INTJ.

The next step should be happier. A smallish aggressive operator with short time lines. Much more able to act on ideas and deal with risk. My personal role is back into a technical project role where I can hire resources and execute my plans with a reasonable amount of autonomy. They are a hard nosed lot, but, realistic. I know and respect most of the players and as a happy co-incidence they know me (I wonder if they respect me to?).

Any how just 4 short days to hand over (to no one) and pack up my stuff then happy holidays till next year.
