You're living in America, leave your conscience at the tone.
Do you know how sad it is when you sit down with your pompously arrogant stupidvisor supervisor to discuss one's goals for the year, and you realize that you have no goals for yourself (in terms of job - I have other goals in life, obviously). Literally, my only job-related goal these days is just to show up and not just keep on driving to Canada or someplace. I think about it sometimes. Just keep on drivin' and see where I end up. Or calling dead.
I have no aspirations beyond showing up and getting my stuff done (which a stoned monkey could do with no problem). There are a number of factors here that contribute to this, not the least of which that I'm utterly burnt out on this position. I'm a good 2 years past my expiration date, actually - that's the average time one lasts here. And I'm overqualified for the job as well. But I am tenacious and loyal. And at the moment, there's nowhere to go here and no outside job openings that I see and am qualified for/interested in, nor responses from the applications that I have already sent out. It's frustrating to feel like there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
But, I faked my way through my check-in/review/what have you and came up with appropriate questions, concerns and ideas that I don't really care about - it does not feel very good to phone it in on your own review. It doesn't help that no matter what my supervisor is saying, whether it's good, bad or indifferent, I don't care what he's saying. My goal-setting meeting wasn't even that bad, it was fairly neutral, but I still come out of it with a bad taste in my mouth because of this guy.
So if you skipped over that, I will provide you with an amusing article about British politics, and how it's good to know that Americans aren't the only ones with issues, but the British ones seem so funny to me. I particularly enjoy the picture of Sir Nicholas at the beer festival, wherein he looks like a complete frat boy.
I will also provide you with this picture of complete adorableness! I think Frenchies are SO cute and I want those two! No, they aren't up for adoption, I was just googling them earlier.
