I hate Mondays.
Mondays get a bad rap because they're the start of the work week. Maybe that's true for people who hate their jobs. It's also true for people who'd rather be somewhere else. Sadly, not all of us are lucky enough to have their dream jobs. Monday usually is this awful thing to wake up to.
As a child, I had loved the first day of school. The only thing I struggled with was waking up. It was good to have something to do everyday. I may not have realized back then how important that was. It was easy to think that school got in the way of the things you wanted to do... but really, what were the things that you wanted to do?
Now that I'm working, I can think of a whole slew of things that I'd rather be doing than monitoring cases or evaluating calls. But I recognize how fortunate I am to have a job, to have something to do everyday. My dislike for its tedium is a different thing entirely. I find my tasks boring. And the things that I do want to do, I can't do because my administrative tasks take a lot of time. I can see other people deal with them more easily though. With enthusiasm, even. I have lost enthusiasm.
Times like this, there really is only one thing to do: suck it in and work smarter. Work faster. I don't love my job. I like the company. I wish I could do something else but I don't know where to go. So as long as I am here, I have to grow up and do what I have to do. It's getting harder and harder to find something else to do it for other than income.
I just need some encouragement. A support system to keep me going. I wish I could get that from my immediate team, but sadly, that isn't the case. I'll have to get it somewhere else. I am grateful for the handful of friends that I have. They distract me from the monotony. Seeing them work hard lifts me up a bit.
Now I have to sign out and do my real job.
