I wrote a while back about why I don’t like working for other people. One of the reasons is the last corporation I worked for was notorious for hiring on a bunch of new hires then pulling some stupid corporate performance management crap and firing them right at the end of their ninety day period. They always made up some stupid excuse, such as bad performance reviews, to do it. Something you can’t fight against, then your file gets sealed. I think that the worse of it, though, was that they were working me 12 hour days, 4 days a week, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. A lot of times, I would work 5 12′s, and the day I was fired, I was on day 6. Two days before I hit the ninety mark. I knew they were doing evaluations that morning, since I had seen the girls on either side of me go into “The Office” and come out upset.

When I was called in, I figured what was going to happen. I had already gotten my stuff together so that I could just toss it in my bag, but yeah. I went into “The Office” and was told, by the floor manager who was never around during the 90 days, that my error rate was too high during the period I was monitored. Oddly enough, it was the day I got all the screwed up batches. Conspiracy? Sure. Corporate crap? Definitely.

So, I sat here the other day and was drinking coffee. Usually I use one of the black mugs that were a gift from my sister. The thing is, my husband bought shoes through Shoes For Crews recently and the day he got them, he came home with a mug that I stole immediately. Why? It’s one of those imprinted promotional products that companies give out to get their name out. In this case, it’s got Shoes For Crews on one side and Hell’s Kitchen on the other side. Yes, it has the logo for one of my favorite shows. Thusly, I stole it.

Do you blame me? Gordon Ramsay rocks. He’s the Simon Cowell of the kitchen.

It’s funny, having lived in this area all of my life, that I never knew what Ingersoll Rand did. I knew that they did something in the realm of metal works or the likes. I did not know, however, that there is such a thing as Ingersoll Rand air tools.

It surprises me sometimes, just how many large, well known businesses are in this area. It takes me by surprise when I hear or see something like Ingersoll Rand that’s not local. It also makes me wonder, how did such a small area business get to be so well known.

Why is it that we have this many large factories or corporations in the area and still be so small and unknown? I mean, really, I don’t understand it. Oh well, I wouldn’t trade it for all the mo…well maybe I would…
