Chap 2

Hi! I am Joanna. I am a jr and an English Professional writing major. I work too much and am really excited to be finished school (because then i might actually like my job). I agree with everyone when they mentioned Ramage being a little wordy but i also feel he has some really great points. There was a lot of times when I found myself wondering what I was going to eat for dinner and then realizing i just ignored an entire page but other times my mouth dropped at a very true and unaccepting point. For example, on page 46 Ramage says, "Success, in the form of the sale or promotion, would be ours at the price of our autonomy." Wow! I know that corporate shit is pretty impossible to ignore if you want to live a semi successful life but doesn't it just piss you off sometimes?! Like shut up mastercard! I work hard to spend my money and i don't want to spend the next 25 years of my life giving it all to you! I think the line of independence and giving in has to be put on an individual decision. People should live how they want and decide what is too much for themselves. I work at a clothes store and the things i could share with the class about how the "sale and promotion" world works is out of control. You would not believe some of the sneaky shit they do just to sell you a shirt for way too much. Everyone falls for some sort of it, but i don't feel like that takes away from my autonomy. But why do i feel like it does at the same time? Damn you Ramage.
