I feel like writing a blog right now, or maybe just don't feel like writing my media coursework...

Again I am procrastinating my schoolwork. I don't mind the idea of going to school tommorow but I think I will miss the holiday routine I have got in to. Blogging in to the small hours... eating food left from christmas... spending hours just messing around on guitar... getting up at ridiculaous hours to walk with the sunrise to work...

*sigh* You know I think I have settled the score with McDonalds. I seem to have managed to not notice the gradual fading of work problems that I have always had. For a start I no longer feel like the outsider simply working whilst the other people socialise. I walk in to work now and there is barely a person I can pass without saying hi. I have a good relationship with all of the managers now and feel kindof at home there.

Most of all the contempt I have for the company is now largely gone. I still dislike what they do and the fact that they are a massive and money grabbing corporation that cynically make themselves appear as caring in order to get money in tills... but when I think about the corportae scumbags I no longer have the feeling of despairing rage that I used to have... it is now more of an exasperated sigh and an apathetic feeling of disaproval. I guess it is because I have come to see the human aspect of the company. Everybody who works in my store are just nice down to earth people that I really starting to like a lot. They care not for the company just for the satff and customers.

Now my only dislike sits with the few corporate fatcats at the top which decide who dances to what money making tune. But even many of them now seem to me just to be cogs caught in a wheel...

Its like everybody is working so as not to let everyone else down or cause them trouble. Nobody thinks about what they are doing, they just do it cos they need the cash and can't afford to be caught questioning the status quo. You can't blame any individuals really...

Ok. McDonalds goes with things like Smoking, alcohol and religion on my list of things that I cannot blame individuals for but that are bad for the world as a whole.

Well. I will probably write something later but right now I have to write my coursework and a message to Tina. Farewell sparse followers!
