“Because if you are on the other side of that fence, you just have eight hours of useless work that make you feel like you wasted your time at the end of the day. Keep on that downward spiral for five years, it makes you downright bitter. You resent everything you do for a living except get paid. It’s a horrible way to live, and you end up selling yourself for way too little in the process.”

Thats where I’m at right now also…and at this point I’m starting to resent the money too!

Congradulations!

The energy is all bad there.
Don’t I know it. I admire your positive approach.

I went through a similar scene end of May this year, although mine was more anticipated, having basically sided with the government customer against my contract holder-employer in an e-mail I sweated over the night previous. I should have never gone back to aerospace, which is what that was, but your phrase I stole as a title to this describes the situation perfectly.

So I’m off seeking a way for myself with a couple of clients. It’s not full headway yet, and it’s easy to get down on yourself. But, then, there’s no delusion at all but that which you create for yourself.

And that’s something.

I’m wondering, judging from the few TV shows I occasionally watch, whether being an unquestioning extension of your boss’ physique isn’t becoming the accepted norm of the ideal employee.

That’s discouraging.

As is the widely held opinion that doing what anyone else would do is the highest practical moral standard. Dunno. Maybe it was always that way.

I look forward to the novel, don’t let it become a J O B too though.

“I always said it would be so much easier if I let myself get pulled in, drink the kool aid, think we’re changing the world. It would make the day go by so much easier. I’ve seen enough people who live on that side of things. I think they are delusional, but they seem a lot happier.”

hey, you know, it’s always much harder to be awake than to just keep on dreaming… congrats to you. that was, in its own way, an inspiring post.

Yay! Two years off from Quark and I still wasn’t missing it. Thinking I was burnt out on the publishing biz, I switched to medical and got a job for another corporation in June. It lasted until last month. Welcome to the club, old friend!
