Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups

I cannot understand it. Everything seemed to be going so well.

A lot has happened since my last post. I guess I was being hopeful. I think I believed that I would have been able to change the way that a big corporation thinks and works. Imagine that? Little old me, doing all that great stuff. But, in the end, a monolithic company that has been working in a particular way isn't going to change just because I say it must. Most certainly not. The problem is - and this is the one that is causing me sleepless nights - the way I am employed. See, I work for a smaller, more dynamic company, and am contracted to perform certain tasks at the big corporation. Unfortunately, the smaller company - my actual employer - does not understand what I am up against in trying to achieve stuff at the big company. The more I try to explain that the big company is slow and pedantic, and that I am doing my damndest to circumvent the slowness, the more the little company puts pressure on.

It's pretty amazing, really. I am astounded at the lack of understanding on either side of me. It is very difficult.

I have walked out of better jobs than this one. But, for now, my hands are tied. There are plans, of course - there are always plans when I am about. In a few days, I will tell my fellow voxers all about them. For now I am keeping them a little quiet, just in case. Until those plans pan out, though, I am going to have to hang tough and roll with this.
