First Annual "I don't give a shit" day.

Today marks the first day in the annual "I don't give a shit" day. I declare this day from here on forward to be earmarked where anyone and everyone can clearly and precicely state, I dont give a shit, to anyone or anything that they want. So, please join me in celebrating this joyous occasion, but if you dont, frankly, I dont give a shit.

So, I get turned down for a promotion at work, because my 'supervisor' thinks that I am too melodramatic and I get upset easily. Honestly if my 'supervisor' would not have used the terms "Don't be a douche,..." or "Whatever, just don't do it." and actually cared about the problems that his underlings bring him, I wouldnt have to get frustrated and throw a 'mini-tantrum' which since I am damn near 7ft tall seems like a mega-hyper-sunami-tantrum. Now, I am working on eligibility to getting a promotion to becoming a Lead, which is 1 step below supervisor, but I have to work on changing my image with my higher ups. Problem with that is, I strive to maintain a level of excellence and esprit d'cour that my higher ups have forgotten about and/or just dont care about, and my attention to detail only causes them to have to do more work. Um, question, isnt that a part of getting promoted to a supervisory position? Having to do more work?!??

Now, I am honestly working on curbing my tantrums, but the root of those tantrums is this. Why should I start not caring about issues that need to be addressed that bring the name of my company down? Why should I become just another tech on the floor and just not care that x number of people are without service, and field techs just cant seem to get it thru their hardhats that their laziness is causing customers to get pissy and call in 2 - 3 - 4 times a day to get told that they are going to have to wait 2 - 3 - 4 weeks before service is done. And when I present a specific location to where said issue exists, I am threatened with supervisory action (write-up) for using the tools available to find said issue. Oh well, today is "IDGAS"

Funny part of all of this... We are graded on our calls for having empathy for the problem, but we arent supposed to care about it enough to get it fixed right.
