Boring work diatribe...
Aug. 14th, 2006 11:18So this morning all I wanted was to call in sick and crawl back in to bed with my book. The minute I have such an idea my head becomes filled with all the lovely things I can do with a day like that. I however mastered my inner child and came to work, on time and everything. So now I am at my desk, writing this because I am out of things to do and the principle that I am working under isn’t here yet. Now I understand that the sacrifice and work of owning your own firm earns you the right and privilege to work from home, but it is very frustrating to be in my current position. Because as much as I surf the net at work sometimes I would honestly much rather be working, preferably at something interesting, or at least something that expands/challenges my skill set/brain.
Even just an email to provide direction for the current project would help. This problem has been a distressing theme over the past couple weeks. As I mentioned previously. It is distressing because I am still technically a ‘temp’. But nothing has been discussed as to how the transition occurs at the end of the month. I assume that, since there have been no complaints that I will be transferred over but I am of course feeling paranoid. I am sure that some of this is due to the abrupt dissolution of my last job, in combination with a general lack of business around here lately. And add to this my general tendency to underrate my value as a professional. (Although the main proponent of this idea is a person that I don’t respect professionally. Hence adding to the problem.)
So now I will commence a search for more work.
