The Kicksey-Winsey
Category: Chaoticism| November 24th, 2008Massive gap in coverage, as usual when there’s nothing worth covering lol.
Last time I said anything I talked about the limitations of the eye…and WotLK release.
Right. Well…WotLK was released…I made Dyskord, my Death Knight. She’s 80 now. That’s about it as far as that..lol
In other news, I’m just generally disgruntled with the system. We pay money to buy things, that money goes to companies, companies use the money to pay people to make things…or pay for stuff that makes things..that money goes to companies who pay other people.
The flow of money…where does it all go? >_<; I mean...it's a completely closed system. There isn't some sort of magical place where all the money goes...it eventually has to go somewhere. I just don't understand where...I mean, even the "rich" have to pay for stuff. In fact, they pay a lot for stuff. That money goes to companies for making more of the stuff...etc...
...Where does it go?!
...*sighs* that was what struck me last night. It's just kind of bizarre. Everyone keeps talking about the economy and all that..and I think it's really just a sham. Making a video game reference, World of Warcraft's economy is interesting because, it's like our own, however when gold is paid to NPCs for services or whatever, that gold LEAVES the system. That gold doesn't go to anyone..or go anywhere. It's just gone.
But, as far as I know, the world isn't an MMO. I mean, it might be...but *shrugs*. The money has to go somewhere... It pools at certain people...people who save..."rich" people... but even the rich buy things, as I mentioned before....
I'm getting redundant...it's just baffling.
I've also decided I want a new job. I'm really not sure what it is...but I'm not feeling...fulfilled, I guess.
Working for Joyce, I always felt like I had purpose...and like my presence was meaningful. During the summer, I felt like everything I did made a difference. I was helping people get their rooms - I was processing payments and reservations to be sure that everyone who was coming for CUSTOMS was able to do so. It all just made sense, and I felt like I was a necessary component.
Here...I'm just.. I don't know. I'm working on the system. I'm maintaining and modifying a massive monstrocity. Talking to myself about it last night, I made the reference to the Kicksey-Winsey. I'm like a dwarf of Arianus, working on the Kicksey-Winsey. All the other dwarves work tirelessly on the thing...never quite understanding how it works, or why...but knowing exactly what has to be done to make it do what it must, and doing that without question. ...but I'm Limbeck. I'm questioning everything...but I'm not getting answers, and am therefore unfulfilled. Y'see? lol
I dunno. I think I just want a job where the changes I make matter. A job where the work I do makes a difference in one way or another. I want to be able to tell when the changes I make are actually doing what they're supposed to...
I think I need a job in software development or something - something more application oriented, I guess. Web development, even... I dunno. Video games. lol...something fun..something I care about...
I don't care about Medicaid >_<; And that makes learning difficult for me because I shut out things I don't care about. I don't hold on to information meaningless to me...and medicaid is all pretty meaningless =P
*sighs*
I think I'll start submitting resumes and stuff in January or something. G'head and finish out the year here, I guess. I really don't want to move again >_<; so something in the area would be really nice..
Of course, with all this talk of the economy being bad or whatever, finding something new that pays as much or more than this does might be difficult… Of course, shit, if I found something that I really really loved, I might take a pay hit. I mean, if I love my job uber much, getting paid a little less wouldn’t kill me.
I dunno - I guess I’ll just see what happens.
Guess I’ll get back to work now before the High Froman wanders by and wonders what I’m doing =P
