I Hate My Job

And just how many times have I said this?

I'm so sick of corporate bullshit, being taken for a ride, being undermined by utter dumb-asses and egotistical morons, being mismanaged and having to put up with all of this shit for the sake of a paycheck.

I want to go home. And I just think I will.

1 people are racking their wee brains on this one:

I can assure you that working for yourself, being your own boss, isn't what it's usually cut up to be either. The grass is, sadly, always greener on the other side of the fence.

Standing on my side, I see that I have the constant worry of making ends meet, to upgrade my skills and equipment, to earn enough to pay for myself now and to save up for retirement because I will never have a pension and neither do I have children to "take care of me" (and - hating children as I do, I never shall); besides, I must constantly sell my skill to a variety of people I despise and whom I can barely tolerate for the period of time it takes me to interact with them. And after all this, I'm lucky if I save a tenth of what I earn.

I see all these things, and I think that working for someone and letting that someone have the headaches while I stick to my level isn't quite so bad. And I might even think I can turn a little deaf ear to office politics.

But then I'm me. And this is my side of the fence.
