i just want it...

known...i am not a fan of red tape; 'corporate' ideology; all the crap that one has to go through just to do their job; which they enjoy.

i've been reading a lot charles sanders peirce's work, and his ideas are getting to me. he states: 'there is no royal road to logic, and really valuable ideas can only be had at the price of close attention. but i know that in the matter of ideas the public prefer the cheap and nasty...'

reason is out the window. thought has become secondary, or as he calls it decorative. '...if questions of conduct are alone to interest us. they, therefore, demand that it shall be plain and facile. if, in special cases, complicated reasoning is indispensable, they hire a specialist to preform it. the result of this state of thing is, of course, a rapid deterioration of intellectual vigour, very perceptible from one generation to the next. this is just what is taking place among us before our eyes; and to judge from the history of constantinople, it is likely to go on until the race comes to a despicable end.'

is there any hope?

as i type this, i am taking an 'harassment' 'course' for one of my teaching positions. i guess this is the face of corporate america. cover your ass. that becomes the name of the game. reason has left the building.

at other places...policies are changed without any knowledge of them. not due to anything on my part. just as i want to do something; which i've always done...it's become an 'oh, by the way...' scenario. thanks guys for the memo. no instead i get memos to look above my mailbox for packages.

this has gone on longer that i expected...i guess i ought to pay attention to my harassment 'training'...
