Thanks, Griff. That's what I keep telling myself.

And my cow orkers are wonderful. We're all feeling the same way, but that doesn't alleviate any of the crap, and my health is really suffering. I wish I could take these kinds of things in stride, and know that in the long run it's of little importance.

I think a lot of it is worrying I'd disappoint my family or make my mom and dad worry about what will become of me.

I know I keep going over and over this and I appreciate that I can vent here, but I just don't know how much longer I can hang on. Do I think the consultants are going to make a difference? I don't really know. I have a proposal on the direction I think this job should go, and what should be on my plate and what should not. I can't do any of it well because there's just too much. And I can't live with that nagging feeling that I'm doing a half-assed job at what I was hired to do. But they misrepresented this position, and I've never had a moment of job ownership or time to update, upgrade, fix processes, hone processes: the things I was hired to do, there is no time for.

So you're right, I need to get my resume updated and start looking. I'll most certainly have to take a pay cut, but I can't keep on going like this.
