My faith in humankind is wavering these days. I need a vacation.
I am currently feeling slightly diminished by my work surroundings these days, and how, out of control I feel with what I'm doing. I need to make a change. I'm stuck right now working with the evil women I was telling you about in my earlier blog. Seriously, they are evil.
The situation is, I'm currently faced with these evil women in a dysfunctional working environment where you're on your own if you deviate from the script. By that I mean, the head of the show wants things the way she wants them and tough if you don't like it. It's exhausting. My feeling is, this sort of thinking is anti-productive, demotivating, and at the end of the day you get very little work done.
The plan is, by the end of this year, I'll be gone. I'm working toward an exciting new project that will have me far far away from whacked neverland. So, in the meantime, much to my chagrin, I will hang in, keep my head down (try) and get through it. The hardest part for me is trying to rationalize the "get through it" part. Morally I have a hard time with this. Nevertheless, I am thankful for the opportunities ... repeat 100 times.
Ok then, that's my current situation - so tell me, where are you at in your work life these days, and do you have any advice you care to share?
As always, thanks for listening :-D

Sounds like you are doing the only thing you can do under the circumstances - head down, do the damn work etc. - maybe just consider this time in whacked neverland the dues one pays for the exciting project that is next on your list? You are learning all the while, even if it is to learn what NOT to do. That saying "What you resist, persists" comes to mind. Evil is hard to deal with but calls for drastic measures - get in your protective bubble, breathe, smile and be in your own little "world" happy and content in your mind. If they can't torture you, it will drive them crazy. And I love that! :) Maybe I'm evil too?
