Another safeway update

Among the jealous types there are that work at Safeway, there is a high level of conceit in the organization. The seniority of many others that work there make them inauspicious and deceptive on every turn.

I'm only so glad I can somewhat free myself of the burden to express the impact this culture has on me in the environment. My opinions do reflect a cause and effect relationship, of which I feel less candid in describing my tenure as an employee. I am inside the walls of an organization which promotes its employees as next to inferior.

I can appreciate doing a fairly solid ethnography regarding my work with Safeway. However, (what I do not in terms of their disposal) . . . how can I appreciate or learn to thrive on my potential in such a rudimentary environment. I feel stuck in the moment, (as I have made a choice), not that I created any of this! Is it out of my control? I am not absolutely sure.

Obviously, I would rather work in a place with a much different focus in mind, as compared to something I feel indifferent about. That being said; the remedy to such a situation - simply put - does not put me in favor. Safeway, . . .is not a place I want to work or be involved. It is a workplace, whereas if you don't keep your eye on the ball abiding to their rules, you are not welcome there. This should follow why this will give me the off-chance to have a purpose. My goal is to leave Safeway, for a much more intellectually satisfying 'freedom'.

I've made far too many changes in my life, (not that I would allow Safeway) as a job to bring me "down to earth" so to speak. I am sticking to it, because, I can embrace myself better. Which, with all of the courage I can muster, Safeway being the legitimate obstacle I withstand - notwithstanding.

Therefore, I can attribute this as an experience to motivate me and accomplish a goal I will fulfill. Otherwise, the point of committing myself to anything could only be seen as superficial conscious. Integrity is more important to me than most others would consider as less honorable.

In conclusion, I'm glad to mention in all of this how I can benefit - is only due to the fact - I learned what I value because I know who I am. I can overcome this adversity helps to define my character. Furthermore, doing an ethnography (research) using Safeway as an independent observer, since I work there, is not that unusual for me to be aware and be an employee during this time. Learning how to do an ethnography in university has paid off, whilst the rest of my fellow colleagues also suffer independent from my own personal virtue(s). This ethnographic study is a reprieve form the norm.
