Tuesdays Blow
Looking for a new job sucks. It's so difficult to find something new because it takes so much time an energy, and let me tell you, I'm beat -- physically and emotionally -- by the time 5pm rolls around. It's hard to work up the energy to do all the legwork and networking it takes to find something new.
The balls have started to roll down the lanes, I hope that I knock a few pins down, and eventually get a strike. That's all that matters, not getting a strike on the first roll, but rather just getting one.
I know that a new job will not solve all of my career unhappiness. But the more I think about it, the more I realize that the unhappiness at the top really tricks down and negatively effects everyone else. Overall the company is doing well, but we still have a long ways to go. At least I'm partially vested in my stock options at this point, so I can basically leave whenever and buy out whatever is possible. Now I just have to get the couple grand together to do that. It's such a gamble though, hoping that the company does well. Though everyone that has left, and I've respected working with them has done it. So, not to cave to peer pressure, but it seems like a good thing to do.
Lately I found out how many people really are unhappy at work, people who have worked there way less time than me. It seems like just about everyone is unhappy and looking for something new. It's pretty amazing if everyone happened to leave at the same time. They are already scrambling for people because they do such an aweful job at the job search ... hmm maybe they should hire an HR person -- and not the anorexic ... please.
Whatever, I'm over it. (Well for tonight -- i'm sure when I have to re-live the hell of it tomorrow -- I'll be just as upset -- if not more.)
