Burn Out

Jul 13, 2009 03:50

I am feeling really burned out lately. I know a lot of it is my sort of boss in training who can’t seem to do much of anything without pissing almost everybody off. He isn’t a bad guy per say, but he is learning at the expense of everybody else. I also think I’m just getting board with this job. The people are ok, but the work is dumb and the customers are often worse. I’m really sick of answering the same questions over and over when the answers are in a nicely provided, easy to find, well written documentation file online. It’s that or “Why won’t this software application do my laundry for me? I hate you and your product sucks!” I am also working nights again. I used to love working at night. It’s quite, not a lot of people bother you and you can do whatever during the day. But now, I don’t know.

Another piece of this is that in the last five years I have lost seven people. Out of these seven I have only really cried for one. The only one that has really hurt is the one that I suppose I knew the least. I still miss her sometimes, like now. I wonder if this is odd. I think she is one of the few if not the only person that has ever affected me this way.

I think I need a vacation.
