A New Perspective

Well, the last couple entries focused on the End of the World... as we know it.  It HAS changed and continues to change.  While the nation faces the healthcare, gun control and higher taxes issues, I am sitting back wondering why I am continuing to feed the corporate monster with my time and energy.   I recently began listening to the Four Hour Work week audiobook http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/ on my 2.7 hour commute every day.   Yes, I spend that much time on the road M-F to go to a job that does not fulfill or inspire me.   I have to ask myself, WHY?  Well, I've discussed this before in previous entires, because I built the American dream and now I'm suffering from the empire I've created.

This is What!

So my girlfriend and I work for an organization that still believes it's 1965. The man to woman ratio is still about 20:1.   I am not exaggerating.   I know it's hard to believe in this day and age, but believe it.  While there are a few men who tolerate and occasionally support women in our workplace, the general atmosphere is female adverse.  We are reminded every single day that we women are  supposedly less than a man. Fighting this all day, year after year, gets to be exhausting and starts to make one believe that it is, and always will be, a man's world.
