Uuuuugggh.... bored
Bored at work... again... This seems to happen to me a lot.
Can't work on actual work, cause I need requirements and feedback from other teams.
Can't work on work side projects either. Good initiative, but need buy in (or so I've been told), before I can continue.
Can't work on fun non-work stuff, cause the people I'm working on it with won't get back to me.
What is wrong with me? Am I too fast a worker? Do other people have this same problem I do? I just want to be busy.. I want a task, with a clearly defined goals. I want feedback. Am I too need-y?
I know.. my life is tragic. So many unfulfillable desires and unrealistic expectations. Maybe it's a good thing I don't manage people. I would drive them crazy by actually making sure they are busy, know what they need to do, and give feedback on the work they do. How lame..
I really want a change. I think again about my desire to go into the culinary world. I'm sure it is MUCH less appealing that it sounds to me as I sit here bored ON my ass. I've looked into the schooling (a bit), and also poked around at what being a chef entails. Admittedly, I am curious.. I need to find someone who would allow me to "work a stage" (A stage is basically a non-paying position, where someone comes in for free and does all the menial tasks in a kitchen while learning the trade). Working for free does NOT sound good, but maybe I can do it on the weekends? Anyone have any Chicago restaurant hookups?
Back to surfing.. waiting.. maybe I'll make some more minor schema changes, if I'm lucky.
