So, lately I’ve sort of been thinking that my day job is an awful lot like “Survivor“. First of all I have to hang out with a bunch of strangers, very few (if any) of whom I would ever choose to associate with. Next I’m forced to to stay at a small self-contained locale, not unlike an island.
In my first couple of weeks at this job I was presented with a few challenges, most of which I won, and I just sort of took my time to understand the game without taking too many risks. Gradually, I was presented with more challenges, then I made some alliances and slowly became well-liked by my fellow castaways co-workers. I was able to survive a few eliminations and I even got immunity a couple of times.
It didn’t take me very long to become the leader of my tribe; and I survived many more eliminations. A little while back I became the back-up hunter/gatherer shipper-receiver for the whole island. Now after one more elimination, I have moved up another spot to become the head shipper/receiver. If this trend continues, next I should become the Jeff Probst of my job and then the Mark Burnett.
Outwit – well, if you knew the kind of people I work with you’d know that’s not even a little bit difficult to do
Outlast – the ladies will tell you how well I can outlast other guys
Outplay – I never play at work; ’cause work isn’t fun, work is work
