Its like I see a lot of what people do around me and just fail to understand them. As for the power thing, I kinda of see it more in a hypocritical light. I can't tell you how many people I've ran into who complain about very "powerful" people abusing it against weaker people but then those same people turn around and treat people in their personal lives like crap. Boggles my mind when I see this and I wonder if they see the hypocrisy in their actions. As for women, WM has definitely made me have more desire for women but at the same time have almost no neediness and see them more as a secondary in life.
Been thinking about asking to exchange AM6 for BASE. I realized this today after what I describe too below. I think I would be a much more successful man with women should I have a business that I am very passionate about. At work sometimes I might eye a girl but then it is "I" who look away first. Why? I am down about my job. Its no longer interesting. The common wisdom is to stick with it because you are more "attractive" to a prospective employer should you already have a job.
I tell you, the frustrations at work have been building. More and more I value my TIME. I frigging VALUE MY TIME!
I realize now that I work with all betas. Im pretty sure they are all more beta than me. Funny how I valued one of them more because he knew how to build websites and had an attractive girlfriend. HAHA. I will never value someone based upon their material goods.
This particular person... Lets call him Bob.
Bob has an attractive girlfriend who he happened to meet by chance. How so? He was looking for another roommate to rent out a room and she just happened to pop right in! He thinks that he doesn't deserve her. (beta)
Bob is a coder. Java and PHP. So hes on the computer all the time. Bob wants to own lots of property but has no real game-plan to get there. Bob has a good idea on how to build a business supporting businesses. I inquire about this on multiple occasions since I have overheard this idea.
This has been going on for some weeks now (4). I finally inquire that I know some people who have $$ to invest (if we were to get the business plan together) to get some coders to start making it- and then sell the idea off to get real seed $$ from Angel investors. I want to be a partner in this. I want to work twords something I believe in.
Too long have I been supporting other people's dreams!
I of-course get turned down because he believes that partnerships end badly (look at Google, Apple etc. to prove that idea is false) and wants to take it solo. Also that I wouldn't be a good fit- for reasons he doesn't reveal.
Bob is a beta.
I more than ever want to start something. I am tired of working jobs that I enjoy... temporarily until I learn the politics of the job. Ex: Your the bitch and I tell you what to do and think. At the very least I would like to have a real leader be my boss. Not another beta...
which leads me to...
Joe.
Joe is my manager. Joe has been working at the same damn company for 10 years now and makes a modest living. Joe wants to be the CEO of this said company. Apparently Joe hasn't got the memo that working for the company for a very long time doesn't make you become the next CEO automatically. Politics do. He would have to woo every board member on said company.
Joe gets mad very quickly when under pressure, and tends to release such anger... on co-workers and on me. Today (Thankfully AM6 has done its job and I remained cool- and he looked like the ass). Why are you freaking out Joe over a server that isn't working properly. It only takes 20 seconds to remedy the issue. Which I promptly did.
****Just got my SLEEPFONES! Tried them out. Awesome. A little loose. I chose the XL. Make sure to measure your head. I can lay on my side and they feel comfortable. 20khz max so probably not good for ultrasonics. I use the masked track. You can always get a larger size and use a pin or something to make it smaller.
