A lot of you know, I do not enjoy my job.
I've been applying to some really neat jobs that have come about, but I haven't received any inkling of a nibble of interest. It's really been bumming me out because I'm not much on pride or ego. I think my stuff sucks, and the non-interest in me and it hasn't been helping. I don't believe anyone that says it's good, and I can't stand positive remarks about my work from co-workers. I'm just not much for rah-rah, id rather worry about not fucking shit up the next time.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love what I do, like, times 10 to the twenty third (when I'm doing actual design work I mean). I feel most lucky to have found something I really enjoy doing. But really, there's too many people better than me. The job isn't helping either. The work I produce is lame because I don't have a budget to make anything cool. 75% of my day is spent doing things that's not in my already 5 page long job description.
I come in 30 minutes late everyday. I also don't do any work after 4:30 (I get off at 5). I spent 3 hours today working on my website and resume AT WORK to apply for a new job. I would say I do 2 hours of work that's actually related to my job a day. The rest I'm surfing SG, Break.com, Youtube, or shopping for cool products. I feel a little bad, but I also feel taken advantage of. They let go of a part-time guy, and I have his workload now, on top of my own. I'm constantly carrying my Publications Director so she can actually function. You can't stress her out, or she gets red in the face and starts crying. Yes, thats right, our Publications Director cries. Don't get me started on our System Administrators that create more problems by their shoddy work that I have to chase them down to fix. Sure, I'll update the website...Oh wait, it doesn't work half the time. Ok, I'll cover the front office for awhile. Ok, let me get that mass email out to our 4,000 members at the same time. Sure, I'll show you how to work tables in InDesign. On top of that I have to answer the phone to get yelled at about the dumbest shit. THE DUMBEST.SHIT. Let me just apologize to all those people who I inconvenienced by enforcing federal regulations.
Oh my god I want a new job. PLEASE! Why does it have to be so hard? I'm not bitter though. I don't hate anybody. I'm not a hate monger...
I'm more of a hate stylist.
