Submerging myself back into the world of a huge multi-million dollar corporation wind tunnel, ideas and ways of thinking thrown at me while being expected to retain most of what is being fed... Although, the general overview of my feelings portraying my mind and thought processes is not too foreboding in any major way at least- but still, as i mentioned before, to become a facet in a huge corporation, to be immersed in its so called 'culture,' this is a tripped out thing. We are all wearing the same thing basically with small deviations and liberties allowed on our parts- and of course, my tattoos are covered... the real me is under my sleeves and glasses...
And Wow, the word 'corporate culture' and the many ways my mind wanders when looked upon that two worded statement- for yes, it is indeed a statement and not just an adjective preceding a noun- the corporation of any kind of culture indeed- to brand a feeling and an idea of the things we experience in independent businesses: more of an individuality, yet community, yet one-of-a-kind lovely and good tasting products and services... this is something to be thought about: The corporatization of a culture that thrives on individuality and community. There is a certain culture found within small, independently owned coffee shops not exactly found in the Starred corporate stores of coffee (After I said that last thing, i supposed to myself to call them 'coffee stores,' 'shop' is reserved for the lovely independent business) And whatever that is, and i know what that is but have no words to describe it exactly, it has been stolen and exploited whether intentionally or unintentionally by the lady of starbucks! Yes, her coffee is great and she is way hot, but the art on her walls is SO lacking of a soul.. And although the sound track includes great artists and their music, I will not be fooled completely and will not sink into a cookie cutter corporate culture, although, this will be an interesting ride and i am sure there is much for me to learn here, since the actual job description lends itself to the easy side and allows for much 'getting to know each other' time, the people that work there are nice...
well, okay then, i must not get back to the 'job' of being involved in corporate culture...
my StarreD lunch break is over, and my very extended lunch break is over as well for now, but maybe not even both for too long...
