Never in my life have I ever:
- been so unmotivated and uninspired professionally
- been so disgusted with my employer
- understood, really understood, "Office Space" so completely
My first corporate experience, and if it wasn't for the benefits (of utmost importance to this single mom, no alimony/child support/gov't assistance), I would be outta here so freakin fast. Nothing like a negative environment to sap your inspiration and motivation for your career.
I've been struggling with it too, as a job change really isn't going to solve my problems, but create another set of them. So I went back to the gym during the week. I fill my weekends with fun and inspiring things. Screw the laundry, I'm going fishing or riding my ATV or snugglin with my hunny all day watching movies, and, most importantly, I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT THAT PLACE OR MY CAREER. These things do not define me so wholly that a lack of satisfaction with my professional life should interrupt my personal life, or affect my self perception. I have a good life. My job pays my bills and for my hobbies.
Life is too goddam short, my friend.
