Obsession

[pjshimmer]

I generally think most people aren't satisfied with their work. They want to forget about it as soon as they're out of the building. But Lately, I've been so obsessed with my job that I've been thinking about it day and night, even in my dreams. Of course, dreams only happen when I'm asleep, and I haven't been fully asleep for more than 3 hours per night. It seems that every time I close my eyes, the job-related stuff just comes to mind. I want my life back!

The problem is that the folks at work whom I depend on for data are simply not informed. One person tells me "okay, this is how we do it," but I turn around and hear "nonono, THIS is how we do it." Frankly, this was the case everywhere I've worked: I've been assigned a project, and I'm waiting for details, but either nobody knows what he wants or everyone has a different story. What a shame.
