Congested
Man, my nose was all stuffed and I kept on sniffing to keep my wind pipes from dripping condensations. People in the office were asking with concerns that if I have a cold. I say, no, it's this freaking central air of ours just keep on circulating dusty bad air.
My day was eventful.
The noise level in my office can be compared to the casino. We are a supply chain freight forwarding and brokerage company. But somehow each time we have a supply chain demanding shipment, all hell breaks lose. People don't follow up, people pushing away responsibilities, people pointing fingers, the whole ugly side of corporate America comes alive. The saying "too many cooks spoil the soup" is so right about us. The whole day I felt like I was watching The Office. I think we can do so much better if more people act like my team. We could do so much better but the biggest problem is the "pass the buck" attitude comes down right from the top. I'm not at least impressed with the way my GM handles the office. Matter of fact, I think he could run a damn good show if he owns a sweatshop instead of headlining the New York office.
After a long day and a satisfying meal at Burger King yet unsatisfactory when I felt my heart burn, I departed the office but only to find myself deep in traffic. Everybody lines up like a big race. 4,3,2,1, go, I stump on the gas pedal but only to find my foot move to the brake pedal. The beautiful sunset is worth the admiration if I was relaxing by the waterfront viewing the skyline. But now the sunset is killing us, I still can't see even through the dark shades and the visor. The constant speed up and stop traffic was killing me. I couldn't wait to come home and upload these 2 typical NYC congestion pictures and start bragging. I'm not complaining but simply bragging because as much as I hated I also love it. This is my city, New York.
