Work sux and then you... lie?

Job is not going that well. Or rather, it's totally schizophrenic.

One day I think it's a great opportunity to progress in my career, learn stuff and really go somewhere.

The next day it feels like they're totally exploiting me, I've been lied to and they make me feel like I'm not even good at the stuff I have chosen to make a living out of.

Not much fun.

They asked us to start a work blog. Ridiculous! I said to my colleague, if I read anything you've written on there, I'll know you're not spending enough time doing the stuff I need done. I mean WTF? There is a huge divide between the management 'ideas and hot air' and the few who actually do the work. I think my main failing is actually just rolling up my sleeves and getting stuff done, instead of blustering around and delegating. What a fool I've been!

Have realised what a rare and beautiful thing GT was - a great team with nary a dud, where everyone fit nicely into the structure (or so it seemed), wanted to be there, and pretty much adequate resources. I don't regret leaving, and I don't want to end up subbing again, but I sure do miss working somewhere like that.

I b*tch too much about work, and half the time put a brave face on things (well, let's face it, half the time I feel like I can bravely face up to it!). Anyway... liking to think that wingeing about it here, actually writing it out and sending it off into cyberspace might stop my upsetting poor Isco with my nightly rants.

"Women in Love" on telly. It's weird... a story from a different time. I haven't read the book and not sure I quite get what's going on. Will have to read the book.
