I am tired, confused, and more than a little angry.
I once had a job that I liked. Yes, the work was difficult and annoying, but the people were kind and my bosses were some of the best I've ever had. All things change.
The DC continues to leach away our best workers. Mike, Theresea, Jianex, and now Brad and Mike. In their place we get Vernon, who likes to make others work hard so he doesn't have to, Steve (or as we call him, Liberace), who doesn't even know how to push a simple cardboard box down a line of rollers (true story, said 'he wasn't trained on how to do that'), and and Evan, known as Turtle the perpetually injured. Each one is an embodiment of a different type of laziness and each is a genuine jackass to all around.
My boss was fired the other day. Apparently, those above him felt that because we were no longer meeting quota, he had failed in his job to keep us motivated. As such, he was fired without so much as a goodbye and goodluck.
Work never seems to end. I get up at 2 in the morning to be at work by 3:45. When we're finally kicked out, I go home to more work. Watching kids, cleaning the kitchen, doing yard work for neighbors, et al. I don't mind the work, it just seems to go on forever.
Where once game was fun, its now become work as well. A constant battle to try and keep the two 'power gamers' in check while keeping things fun for everyone else. And, because I work in the morning, I end up dead tired and wind up skimping out on those in the second game.
It hurts because I'm letting down people who depend upon me. I need to find a way to resimplify things. Make game fun again, find joy in work and in the people around me. All things die.
In the end, I feel like I'm running on autopilot half the time. Something has to change.
All things change
All things die
in the end all that remains are the tears we cry
