More recently, I made an analogy about workplace dynamics in regards to someone else\u2019s workplace, but then came to realize that such an analogy could apply to most every workplace to some capacity, naturally of course, referring to my own as well.<\/span><\/p>\n But basically, in the workplace, there are workers that are Quarians, and then there are workers that are Geth.<\/span><\/p>\n Quarians are workers who are basically trying to survive.\u00a0 Quarians have habits and tendencies that may seem dated and obsolete, but hey, they\u2019ve worked at keeping us alive for X amount of time, there\u2019s little reason to deviate from them, regardless of the fact that if superior, more efficient ways exist.\u00a0 It\u2019s like the Quarians in the\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em>\u00a0storyline, they\u2019re so caught up in general survival, that they\u2019re never really able to put up an earnest fight against the Geth that have taken over their home world.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, the Geth are technologically superior and have overcome their creators in the Quarians.\u00a0 Survival is a secondary objective for the Geth, because the Geth are always trying to evolve and grow.\u00a0 They are adaptable and by virtue of being more or less robotic, they are willing and capable of changing how things are, as long as it\u2019s more efficient and there\u2019s a logical rationale behind it.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the fact that for the most part, Quarians are good guys and Geth are bad guys, ultimately, being Geth is the superior choice.\u00a0 There\u2019s a reason why the Geth overtake the Quarians in the ME storyline.\u00a0 In the real world, it\u2019s\u00a0probably<\/em>\u00a0better and preferable to be Geth.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve made no secret that things have been somewhat busy and stressful for me at work, much in part to the existence of PowerPoint.\u00a0 Which got me thinking about this analogy again, because how it applies in my case is the simple fact that my office is full of Quarians, while I feel like the only Geth here sometimes.<\/span><\/p>\n Without being too specific, there are a lot of, well, older people in my office.\u00a0 I\u2019m still somehow the youngest person here, and I\u2019m 32 now.\u00a0 Needless to say, there are a lot of people with lots more years than I do under their belts, who have some habits and preferences that I personally might find to be somewhat dated, and might be better off with some updating to current times.<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, in spite of my suggestions, and in some cases, pleas, the Quarians don\u2019t wish to take any of my advice under consideration.\u00a0 It might lead to infections or the collapse of their comfy state of mundane office life.\u00a0 And ultimately, I get saddled with making egregious charts in PowerPoint, despite the fact that I could re-create any piece of shit done in PowerPoint in InDesign to perfect consistency, and a fifth of the file size, because it\u2019s what the uncompromising Quarians are \u201ccomfortable with.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The Geth may be mechanical and adaptable, but even a single unit would have difficulty surviving when surrounded by obtuse Quarians.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More recently, I made an analogy about workplace dynamics in regards to someone else\u2019s workplace, but then came to realize that such an analogy could apply to most every workplace to some capacity, naturally of course, referring to my own as well.
