My managers called me in for a meeting today. Here I was shitting myself as one does, when one of them starts going on about my goals. What are they? Are they in within the company? Answer I have no goals, and if I did, Im stuck where I am and have no interest in the next position above me.
My short term goal, as in every single day, is to get through work without a; Killing members of the public, b; killing my staff c; killing myself. After around eight hours of this, my ideal plan would be to go home and get shitfaced.
So, back to management, are they concerned? Do they care? Not even au. My theory is that they are trying to convince me to leave on my own steam.
Why are goals important? Motivation? Motivation is a result, not a process. A goal to me is something you acheive. Once you acheive it, you need to set a new one. The only purpose of any goal is to be used, flaunted, discarded and replaced. A goal is meant to die. I think it would be more interesting to let the opportunites float by and pick the best one and do all that you can. Work your hardest as long as you can and when, finally, you cannot possibly do any more, just stop. Look back on what you acheived and think wow, I did that. I mean, imagine getting all of your life goals acheived except one. Your entire life you try to acheive it then you finally die. Was life really worth living knowing in the end you failed? It sucks. My life is (theoretically) far from over, yet I feel miserable because I have missed the chance to acheive every one of my goals through sheer laziness. I think I should have just taken an opportunity...
Ive taken a one though, and Im giving her all I got.
