What is it about office work that turns grown ups into children?
Why is that it brings out a silly pettiness that twists their minds?
Why do they feel the need to argue over nothing at all?
It’s so tiresome…it drains me…it bores me…

Is there so little going on in their own little lives,
That they feel the need for some excitement?
Are their little minds so closed and so small,
That all they can think of is fighting?

Why do I have to sit here day after day,
listening to this petty bickering?
Why can’t I just be on a beach far away,
Where the sun bakes down, the people smile
And laughter echoes across the waves…

oh please take me away...

Cheer up there hon! Some of the characteristics that make us most human have the annoying side effect of being quite petty.

Thinking about you and sending positive thoughts accross the Atlantic. :D
 
love and hugs to you both!! :)

Dastrix, you're just going to have to come over again...actually you to Nietzche!!! =D

i thought this was great,,,,,,,, my reasoning, is basic office work does not challenge so human nature is to be bored and then petty..... what can you do ???

great stuff though !
 
I don't know if I should be reading this so literally, but you don't really have to sit there day after day if you don't really want to. What is keeping you there? I'm not necessarily asking a hypothetical, I'm just curious. :)

Good, straightforward work either way. :)
 
when i worked in an advertising agency, straight out of university, i felt the same way! PEtty, catty, and oh so mean people....i even cried once ! Then i grew up a bit, then i realized that feeling this way at work has purpose..it makes us appreciate our families,home life and loved ones SO much more. <3
 
mealltach makes a very good point: it doesn't have to be that way. You're not helpless like a caged animal. Like I say, "if you can't find a way to make what you do enjoyable, then don't do it."
 
Unfortunately I do really have to be here...I have to work to eat, pay rent, pay the bills and live...I have my CV out on the internet, in case something better comes along...but what i have is good in many ways...and I generally do enjoy the job itself and some of the people I work with...

The problem is that there are a small group of people who will do anything they can to cause fights with others and just bicker about things...for example a few of them have been fighting about having the air conditioner on for the past 3 months!!!

I'm in my own office, so can often escape the worst of it, but because i try to stay out of any nastiness, i end up having both sides coming into my office and bitching about each other...and its not just the air con...there are just loads of stupid little things that they fight about...and loads of very small minded things that they say, such as complaining about 'foreigners' - saying the things that the tabloids feed them and they don't ever question...

i let it wash over me generally...but sometimes it just bothers me and it was when i wrote that poem...writing about it makes me feel better...poetry is often the best therapy, i find!! :)

crystalcallas, good point about it making us appreciate the good things more!! <3 :D

And Cherub, love and miss ya loads!! <3 :D
