Define your self.
I recently decided I do not want to be defined by my job or the job I hold. Do you want to be remembered as Jo Joey Jo Jo Shabado employee of company.inc suborinate of Bill Lumbergh? I sure don't.
Many want more money. So to get more money they burry them self in work and try to climb the ladder to the next pay grade. In the process selling out to the company/the man. Often aslo attempting to be the job be the possition they want. And becoming defined by their title or department.
I personaly dont even care to be assoiated with my work when I'm not working. It's not that I don't like what I do. It's not that I don't have pride in my work. It is that I am not my work.
What do you want to be defined by? What do you want to be defined by?

Posted by: dusty on January 14, 2006 09:19 PMthere's a whole bit about that in fight club. "you are not your job, you are not the car you drive, you are not the contents of your wallet" etc.
i usually try to define myself as an artist. i don't define myself by my job at all.
i guess the question is, what would you say if someone asked, "what are you?" you wouldn't say "i'm a tech support dude" ... you'd say something more about who you are as a person.
