tumultuous TORMENT of the inner circle


all around the mulberry bush..

i dont understand this... i have to be at the office... have to.. no 2 ways about it.. so, here i sit. but i have nothing to DO... waiting for client staff to provide information.. sadly, this counts as chargeable time.. just waiting, waiting, waiting.

on the upside, free coffee, internet and semi-free telephone calls.. the downside? a life wasted.

[we all float down here.. welcome to the abyss..]

ive found that stressing about my job is utterly useless.. becoz, a month from now, a year even, none of this will matter.. its the nature of the beast... these deadlines, the work that needs to be completed, everything: pointless.

stress causes wrinkles, high blood pressure, premature aging and ultimately, death...

if you worry – you die
if you dont worry – you still die


Y WORRY??

i have deadlines. and evil demon-spawn bosses from Hell, breathing down my fragile exposed neck...

do you think i care?

aw - tanx!

*hug back*

choice.. surprisingly deceptive, that.. there are many reasons and factors that all contributed to me ending up here.. i wouldnt say that it was all my choice, per se..

im an auditor.. in training.. sort of..

*sigh*

my life is ending one day at a time.

thought of maybe doing something completely different with your life? do you see yourself doing this for the rest of your life?

arc.. [anjo?]

i think of doing something entirely different DAILY. am thinking that im gonna finish my articles, then just ... i dunno.. see what i can see..

while under contract, i am obliged to study further in this direction.. so, when im off that, i might study sumthing i actually have an interest in.. like writing. or painting. or marketing.. who knows..

there is no end to the possibilities..

in the meantime, this pays the bills.

but, this job doesnt seem to add any VALUE to life, the community, society.. there's very little job satisfaction.. which, it turns out, is a bigger deal than you'd think.

So often I worry I'm doing the wrong this with my degree...

But anyway. Hang in there, neko. Go look at my cat drawing again. :P What about trying to make your job more interesting, as a short term measure?

Something along these lines? http://www.do-not-sleep.com/images/priceless.jpg

From time to time we must all
sit back and do an audit of our lives. The beauty of living in a free society is that we can try
different things.
Life is about change,
the longer you live,
the more we must change.
Good luck.

I know all about evil, or at least remarkably shitty, bosses. My last boss was such a bastard, I'm writing a book about it.

Instead of quitting the job in the end, I plan on making it a more interesting conslusion. Probably something about stabbing the French twat to death with my editing pen.
