Playing the game

Damn its been a while! Just been enjoying the new job, making good music, havin fun times with the family, chillin wit my girl (yea I have a girlfriend now, crazy huh?). But yea on my mind right now is I guess what you call office politics. I love my new job, which makes me excel at the job I'm doing and causes me to become eager to learn more about the job, so all in all I'm going a pretty good job according to my supervisors and co-workers, and right now, thats all I care about impressing. I really feel that a person's performance, his rapport with his co workers, and his overall demeanor dictates how far he/she will go within the company. All throughout college I used to hear these tidbits of advice that I didn't agree with and now I will not adhere to them. I'm not going to take an executive out to lunch and rub shoulders with him/her in hopes of getting first dibs on a promotion, if the dress code is business casual, I'm going to dress business casual, if we wear jeans on fridays, then shit I'ma wear jeans on fridays! I go above and beyond with the work I do, not in how well I kiss ass, or how EXTRA I dress. For wearing a suit and tie while everyone else is wearing jeans and kissing ass does not equal to productivity. If I can't move up in the corporate world by just bustin my ass day in and day out at work and being punctual and not getting into disputes with coworkers, then FUCK it you know i'm just one hit away © Jay-Z from getting this music shit goin anyways. I guess the lesson for today is stay true to yourself and believe in God. My faith in God that I will succeed is more important than any windsor knot and slacks.
