You mean you couldn't care less. I'm getting tired of this.

Maybe he has but one **** to give. DID YOU EVER THINK OF THAT.

I'm in a weird spot with my job.

I love what I do. I LOVE the company I work for.

Perhaps the best thing is the freedom. I have all the freedom in the world, both professionally and otherwise. In other words, if I come up with an idea about some new thing I want to try, I'll almost certainly get the green light. I also make my own schedule. I work as much or as little as I think necessary to get my stuff done. I'm a triathlete, and I do some sort of workout during "normal" business hours probably 3 days a week.

I'm also probably paid more than I should be. How often do you hear that? And that's where the rub is. I wish I were better at my job. I have 2 very disparate responsibilities, sell work and then perform it. I'm ok at both. Not confident/personable enough to be a lights-out salesman and not organized/thoughtful enough to be an "A" project manager.

I am really, really slow right now, and I think that's what's fueling most of these feelings. I used to just do the work I was handed and be happy. Now that I'm responsible for killing my own meals, though, it weighs on me when I don't have enough to do. And then I feel guilty that I'm not breaking out the phone book and cold calling, or doing whatever it takes to help the company succeed.

/whiny rant

This is one of my biggest hangups with the job I'm currently at, which I am leaving in two weeks. ****ing corporate meatheads that are completely out of touch with reality, and think they know more about my properties than I do and never ask for my input on anything. They do nothing but complicate things for me 95% of the time.

Not really.

Sponging Unemployment benefits and looking for work sucks. The past 3 weeks haven't been terrible since I'm in Florida with my son.

I did, however like my last job.

My job is really fun and it's been nearly 15 years since I can say that.

I'm only in the office one day a week on the phone and the other four on the road. I'm outdoors a lot, drive about 700-1000 miles a week, company pays all my gas, cell phone, great health and dental plan that is 100% covered, small perks, and great commission structure.

This is also the first time in over 20 years where I am only responsible for my self and my sales. I've run so many sales teams and it's really a delight to have so little stress.

I also make my own hours and have few guidelines or hard rules.

The one basic rule; make enough sales and you can do what you want....

Student ftw!

fyp

I would take being a college student over a 9-5 job any day.

The boss is a dick
I work more hours than anyone else
I'm always on call
Everybody tells me their personal and work problems

That's right, I own a small business.

I get along very well with my boss. Guess I should be more thankful about that....

Sort of. Wonderful pay. Make my own hours. Feeling of helping others. Those are the positives. I'd rather be a forest ranger or something outdoors, but the pay sux

I wouldn't. Life is sooo much better now.

Well, that really only works for a short period of time, unless you are a trust fund baby.

I couldn't have said it better!
