There are at least 3 blog post drafts setting in my queue. I just cannot muster enough brainpower to develop the topics further than the 2 sentences they're at so far.
My brain is toast. I'm exhausted. The stress level at work is growing...even on top of the high level it was at a week ago. All of that means the paranoia is setting in.
These "I want to quit so badly" phases are coming more frequently. It's just so frustrating to be part of a company that can't seem to force itself to be at least a little successful, even though I'm busting my ass to please the customer and get stuff done.
I know that I am succeeding, at least on a personal level, but what's the point...? I mean, who is ever really going to know what happened? I could describe it to a potential employer, but they'll never really know. You might think my boss would know...but I don't know that because he has NEVER acknowledged it. EVER.
If you can't give me a raise, at least throw me a bone.
And that's it for my rant. Thank you.
Ah... I understand that one. The business world can be so frustrating! Everyone wants something but no one notices what you are doing... or so it seems.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that your boss does notice. He's just not good at vocalizing it. Some bosses aren't.
But it is a crappy feeling. Here's to tomorrow being a better day!
I feel the frustration. Personal satisfaction in a job well done sometimes just doesn't cut it. And with the job market being so horrible, everyone is forced to say "so lucky I HAVE a job" as they dare to rant a bit.
ReplyDeleteThings will get better? Yeah, they will :-)
I had a similar problem with the CMHC where I worked. Ultimately, I had to leave for my own sanity.
ReplyDeleteyou need a vacation.
ReplyDeletesilly rabbit - well, tomorrow from this post wasn't better, but today was. Thank goodness.
ReplyDeletelaura b - Well, sometimes optimism is very elusive. I'm willing to say things will change. But for the better...?
secret agent - Sounds good to me. and not the losing sanity part.
Chopper - I am! Well, a little on anyway.
