about

Well, I'm not an expert on anything, that's for damn sure. But, I've lived in 2 countries, 5 states (over a course of 12 different moves or so), traveled most of europe, gone to college, had good relationships and bad, experimented with drugs (I won't go into listing them all...), played in sports, bands, had all kinds of jobs, have seen all kinds of things. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I've experienced my fair share, but I say that you can never experience enough! In any case, any advice I give is just my humble opinion. And you know what they say about opinions? They're just like bellybuttons... everyone's got one.

What's that you say? Where did I get that sexy hat in my profile pic? It's from Afghanistan. That's right... the same place they make Afghanistanimation!

Ok. I am having what I think is a morale problem. I am the lowest man on the totem pole at work, hence I get all the crap. I have to keep up with where my coworkers are if I want them to help me. All of the extraneous stuff falls on me. Our schedule is so tight for the next two weeks that I am only getting one day off a week. The good news is that I am getting overtime pay. So now every little challenge that comes across my desk other than what is scheduled is driving me nuts. I can't talk to my boss without being argumentative. I bitch and moan every day. I do like my job most days, but it hasn't been fun lately. I know its a job, but do I have to make myself miserable? What are some techniques on making work easier with the knowledge is the only thing that is constant is change? And there are like 26 million I's in the question, how do I turn my focus outward?

Well guy, the best I can tell you is to just suck it up. If this schedual is just for the next 2 only, man... you have it good. Plus, you say that you like your job right? So stick it out, and better things will come. Still not feeling better? Ok, well lets put it this way- at least you're getting days off! It's not like my job- we don't get to take 'days off' from fighting wars. A motto I like to use when things are rough: 'This too, will pass'. Keep your chin up.
