Moving On?
by
Dr. Mark Winegar
What the hell am I doing here?
There is nothing I can say that will be heard.
Nothing I can do that will last.
Our mission is lost in a jungle of hidden agendas.
Academic standards are waning.
Lame excuses are rampant.
Back-biting is commonly practiced by the leadership.
Faculty morale is low.
The nation may very well be at risk.
Perhaps it's time to move on?
I miss those days of working hard to achieve the improbable.
The days when my efforts mattered to the organziation.
The days when I was a part of the team.
I long to code mission critical applications again.
The joy of being the first to market.
The bleeding edge of technology.
"Quality in everything we do" was more than a slogan.
It was a life style.
Lord, do I miss the joy of a true technical challenge.
Perhaps it's time to move on?
