I've made some headway with some projects (mostly to get one canceled). I think part of it might have been meshing with some of the personalities I'm working with. It'll work out one way or another.<BR/><BR/>I think the people you work with are the most important thing on the job. Or course a job can't completely be horrible, but if you have people you get along with and you encourage each other, it makes a big difference.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429263099197981481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21863196.post-1148569887356928252006-05-25T10:11:00.000-05:002006-05-25T10:11:00.000-05:00Interesting that unhappiness in the workplace is u...Interesting that unhappiness in the workplace is usually from too much work, or too little, or too much micro-management, or too little direction. It's a matter of extremes. We all like excitement, but we like it in bursts. Like my Mom used to say, "Work wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so damn DAILY!" Right. The stress...whatever it comes from... is so damn daily that there is no steam valve and we become a nightmare of nerves. To protect ourselves we become numb. And depressed? Perhaps. In any case, it's a drag.<BR/><BR/>JianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21863196.post-1148394833734430772006-05-23T09:33:00.000-05:002006-05-23T09:33:00.000-05:00I'm bored too, but it's because of my lack of pers...I'm bored too, but it's because of my lack of personal satisfaction. I should learn all my scales and modes like I should have done ten years ago. I should learn "Classical Gas". I should learn karate. I should stand on my head. I should eat a bug.<BR/><BR/>You need one of those posters with the kitten in a tree that says "Hang in There". If I had one, I would definitely hang it near my desk. I would probably throw darts at it. Maybe you need a poster that says <A HREF="http://www.avclub.com/content/files/images/avclub_fttf156.jpg" REL="nofollow">"Hardly Working"</A>, or something like that. Or maybe you should stand on your head. Maybe <I>you</I> should eat a bug. Hey, maybe you could write an applet that eats bugs <I>for</I> you!<BR/><BR/>That's what I would do. If I could write applets. I can't. :(<BR/><BR/>Good luck.encephalophonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11338030845171445330noreply@blogger.com
