Work

[cjsmith]

How many people here look forward to going to work in the morning? How many people say to themselves "That was a wonderful weekend, and I'm glad I get to go to work on Monday" or "Wow, I can't believe they pay me to [fitb]; I'd do it just for the fun of it" or "The people at my company are great and I'm glad I get to see them every day"?

I know there are people who are glad to have their jobs, or who feel grateful that their skillset happens to be lucrative, or who enjoy some aspects of their jobs but not others. I also know that there are people who basically hate their job, their coworkers, the activity, the salary, the hours, every bit of it. What I haven't seen is anyone who loves every bit of it.

I know my friends list. Y'all can be a contrary bunch. If I say I haven't seen FOO, several people will respond that they personify FOO. I wanna know who you are. Then I'll ask you how you got that happy.

The past year has become, for me, a struggle to drag myself to work every day. There have been a few days that I ponder driving and just keep driving (or worse) because it's that bad. I am, truly, unhappy with work. AND I try not to talk about it with my partners because I'd prefer that they not worry about me...

Because my social life is very happy and just... stellar... and about the only thing keeping me in on piece somedays.

Oh yeah, and the mortgage thing (wanting to continue living where I do) is the driving force otherwise I'd say "fuckit" and leave.

SO... I guess I'm not one of your "loves every bit of it" kind of people. :/ I get paid enough to make it worth my while, but not really enough to kick ass. Hell, I'm sure some unemployed PhD's make more than I do. ;)

Bleh.
