Somedays you're the slugger ....

Somedays I really wonder what the people I work with think of me.

I often have ideas that would vastly improve my process

But not necessarily impact everyone else I work with.

So sometimes, I wonder what the people I work with

Think I do all day

and whether they actually understand

what it is I do all day.

Lemme give you the brief run down:

I work in the Oil and Gas industry, for a private company.

Our company has a software that enables other

Oil and Gas companies to manage their fleets

of Natural Gas Compressors.

It also helps them to optimize their

individual compressors.

A large part of my role is entering the data from the field

in order to allow our clients to manage and optimize

their assets.

I enter a lot of reports.

Upwards of 1000 a month.

Usually about 600 in the first 10 days of the month.

I have an intimate relationship with that area of our system.

AND yet, when I come up with ideas, requests, etc

to improve my process

making my job easier

saving time

improving productivity
maximizing my time
showcasing my abilities.
And they are ignored.
Why?
Because they don't benefit the masses.
But what they don't realize, is that I do as much work
in one are of our software
as the masses.
