Work sucks.
I'm so tired of this Sunday feeling, the feeling of dread as the clock winds down toward Monday. It seemed to be particularly bad today. I found myself looking at the clock and being happy that it was earlier than I thought.
Why do I hate my job these days? I think it's because I have so much to do and can't seem to get any of it done. I have been reading Getting Things Done but the effort required to get started with the program seems so overwhelming that I put it off, too. I tell myself that I like what I do but I don't know if that's true. Sure, there are some things I enjoy, but for the most part I hate what I end up getting dragged into. I don't want to support another project. I don't want to have to come up with some creative solution to a problem. I want to have a better understanding of what I actually have to do. What do people physically want me to deliver to them? When do they want it? That's what I want to know.
There's a work trip coming up that I usually enjoy because it means not being here, but it is shaping up to be a debacle. First of all, one of my co-workers is insisting that we share rooms. These are business suite type rooms so you get your own bedroom, but still. I tried to override her and get us all single rooms but it turns out that the hotel is booked so I guess she gets her wish. But geez, we're not on a school field trip here, we're not at a slumber party. Then there's just the issue of making sure everyone gets there, that we can find a restaurant that is sufficiently bland for all parties, and of coordinating the actual work that we have to do. Sigh.
Gee, now I want Monday to be here even more!!
