Vote for Pedro

I got to thinking today: What if we campaigned for our everyday jobs the same way politicians campaign for their positions. Imagine the decision makers (voters) were made up of management representatives from each department. We would campaign on a platform of increasing sales numbers and overall client base for a sales position within the company. You would be hired for the position as it made good sense.

During the course of your employment, you abandon your original promises and instead work on increasing employee moral, attendance and clearer policies. Now, while you have shunned the sales manager, every other manager is seeing the fruits of your labour through their own departments. When the time comes for contract renewal (re-election), the other managers vote for you, while the sales manager you originally came to work for doesn't want you there anymore.

I wrote that on Friday I believe… maybe Monday. Regardless, I no longer remember where I was going with it.

Met with "TheGuys" (and Sunflower) last night for coffee at the local Timmies (don't tell them, but their choice of location for coffee kicks arse! 5 minutes from my house, hells yeah!). The spoke about the unveiling of the iPhone yesterday at the Macworld Keynote yesterday. At first I wasn't very impressed, yeah yeah, a glorified Blackberry, just what the world needs. Upon my arrival at work this morning, I took the liberty of cruising over to the Apple website to see what the fuss was about. Guh? My only questions now are who's going to carry it in Canada and how can I come up with the cash for it?

Also, got a start on my compilation CD when I got home last night. I think its rockin'. Later days.
