Question of the Day
The reason I ask is because I am presently in an ongoing conflict between each. I have ten years’ experience in my career and have made one lateral move during that time. The profession in which I work is touted to be rewarding. However, either I am not receiving these awards or I am too jaded to appreciate them. (I will let you know what I actually do in later posts. I have plenty to say about it.) I am always tired, stressed, riddled with anxiety, underappreciated, disrespected, agitated, and aggravated. My job does not allow me to leave work at work.
I find myself working from home or talking about it even when I try not to because the field has become so politicized that it’s regularly discussed in the news. To be completely honest, I feel that I’m doing more harm than good by working there.
By now some of you may have begun to figure out what it is
that I do.
I know that most people would say, “Well that’s life. As an
adult, you have responsibilities. Most people hate their jobs, but they know
that it’s what they have to do to survive.”
To that I say: You are absolutely right.
Who am I to buy lottery tickets twice a week so that I can
resign and live my dream of traveling and writing? Who am I to try to pass
laziness off as mild depression and anxiety? Who am I to want to live a happy
and fulfilled life?
I can complain (and trust me, I have), but who cares? What
is the purpose of complaining if you have no intentions on acting to change the
situation?
Well, I’m tired of complaining. I’m ready to act! Join me.
