I Saw This
Today in 'school' on an actual real projection slide, on an actual document that was given to me, that I was 'ACTUALLY' supposed to ingest.
I will put it 'verbatim':
"This -insert blah blah blah- is MEANT. TO. REDUCE. COGNITIVE. BURDEN.
Oh believe you me, I picked up on that. I raised my hand. I stood up even. I stood up in class... made up of my peers and my training department and I asked, in a shocked tone, "That literally translates into they want us to THINK LESS. That means to NOT THINK. Is this what everyone else interprets those words to mean?" My training instructor was not impressed with me. I was not with the material. I am not impressed even now that I can make light of it. I filled the rest of the time fantasizing about walking out. I literally had a mantra in my head, "I don't want to do this. I can't do this. I'm not a robot." But, what I am, is a responsible citizen. So I will find another job before I quit this one, but oh, dear reader, it is tempting.
What am I grateful for on this BEAUTIFUL day??
