Drinkin' the kool-aid...

Kickin-Kiwi-Lime or Mountainberry Punch? Maybe a taste of Incrediberry or Soarin' Strawberry-Lemonade to cool off for awhile.

And then the high begins again. And you're still drinkin' the kool-aid of your company - and what you want to stand for. The company name is branded on your forehead and you walk around proud to work for company X. Flashing your name card, sharing your pride with all those you say hello to, maybe selling a product or two in between.

But when you finally kick-back at the end of the day, put your feet up on the coffee table with the quick flick of your thumb on the remote. You sigh. Maybe reflect back on the day's events - deals won and deals lost. Maybe let the tv take over your mind.

And at times you wonder again - is this really the career for me? Do I continue pushing straight ahead - or should I take a turn in the road hoping to find a better path?

You yawn - eyelids falling heavy. The glass still in your right hand with the remaining kool-aid undrunk.
