As I sit here on a Sunday, I am faced with an unusual feeling - dread. I realize that I am experiencing something in my life that I thought I would not have happen to me. I hate my job. I know, I know, join the club, right? But the thing is, I never truly hated my job. I strongly disliked some people I worked with or hated having some creepy, ugly freak o'nature guy's hand on my thigh but I never felt dread on a Sunday at the thought of going to work on a Monday.
Is this the onset of an early midlife crisis? Is it that my tolerance levels have decreased, as if that's possible...)? Am I going to be like so many other people I know and end up being bitter about my life's professional direction? I really thought by this age I'd be past dealing with crap like dictator-like, overbearing, pompous, prejudiced asses. Hmmm, I think I just insulted an ass somewhere...
Anyway, let me be clear. To be honest, I really like the type of job that I have. I enjoy the core aspects of my job. It's the dumbass people that I hate. It's not that I'm perfect either, but I don't intentionally set out to hurt people. Granted, my sense of humor may be seen as inappropriate at times, but that's the difference between humor and a job. Humor can be subjective so I understand if not everyone finds the same thing funny. Work, on the other hand, should be different...y'know?
Oh well. I guess I'll just have to suck up the fact that I have yet another job that I'm going to leave as soon as a good opportunity presents itself. Is it too much to ask that there be a job opening that matches my skill set, and one that doesn't allow donkeys to manage people and actually thinks that diversity is a good thing (btw, and understand that diversity is NOT simply affirmative action and hiring a bunch of PMS'ers - which is a direct quote by a former boss!).
Monster & HotJobs and I are abou to become the best o'friends! Bring it on.
Ok. Vent over. Drinking starts. I guess that's one way to prepare for Manic Monday which also happens to be the first day of my Fall semester class - Marketing Strategies! Man. Do I know how to rock a Monday or what!?!?
