Behind Door Number…

How are you supposed to know if you’re sick, depressed, tired, lonely, unhappy or a combination of multiple things?  The symptoms are all the same.  It seems about the only thing I do lately is sleep.  Living alone can be kind of an experience when you’ve always had a roommate of some sorts for the last 10 years.  You come home to an empty “home” and hope someone is around to talk to either online, email or via text messages (since you don’t really like talking on the phone).  You have tons of stuff you could be doing at home but once you get there you just decide to sleep instead and when you get up you have no more motivation than you had before.  I’m sure money has something to do with all of this.  More bills than money sort of hinders your ability to do a lot of things and this over sized cubicle I’m living in doesn’t help.  Eh… tomorrow is another day I suppose.

So, all the exciting news happening at my last job is making me very excited to do my exit review.  Although I’m sure there is no reason I can not turn in my exit review when I pick up my pay check on Friday, I’ve decided to wait and do it this weekend and turn it in after my check clears the bank.  I really can’t believe the stuff that goes on there.  I really miss working with everyone.  I feel like I moved a state away because I don’t get to talk to my friends that often now (see paragraph above) but I am really glad I left when I did.  You can never make it very far in life when you are working in an unprofessional work environment and they take the cake when it comes to unprofessional.  The interesting thing I’d like to know is what prompted the crack down.  Usually some one knows what caused people to invade your privacy but in this case it seems they just decided to take advantage of a situation and that one situation prompted them to start checking other people.  I must say, it is sad I wasn’t there because when they told me I had to leave logs of my popups available for them to see and monitor I would have said them that I was uninstall the software then and was only available via email.  I may never be as “successful” as some of the people working there but at least I’ll live my life knowing people generally don’t mind me as a person.  I think I’m okay with that.  I just hope everyone there realizes the things I learned in my 7 years and move on faster than I did.  For many years I went to bat for them, promoting it as a good place to work.  Sure, I didn’t think the managers there were managers or people I could go to for help and guidance… but in general I felt it was a place you could make a career out of.  That opinion has completely changed.

    I am glad you got out and I know what you mean about feeling like you moved away after leaving a job but it does get better and you learn who your real friends were/are as they will still keep in touch when it is not as easy as walking over to your desk.

    I am not all sure what is going on around there but I do know some and all I can say is that the vindication feels wonderful, the same things people were telling me I was disenfranchised (disenchanted if your Brian) about as the reason for my discontent are now coming to light, things were as I saw them back then and they still are that way now.
