Tired of Whining

The first three paragraphs of today's entry were written shortly before I went to sleep last night. My mood has improved quite a bit since I wrote them.

I'll be the first to admit that I could do better than I have in life. As a matter of fact, I am painfully aware that I would be making anywhere from five to ten thousand dollars more a year doing my job at another company. My current employer took advantage of my limited experience and my ignorance of the average salary for my position. Yet I stay.

Then again what I do is not what I went to college for years ago. I simply do my job because I must. It does hold my interest from time to time, but I would never really consider myself a computer geek. I just don't obsess enough about them.

Sometimes reality creeps into the safe little world that I have constructed for myself and I don't like it. I think that if people were honest they would acknowledge that they too create some kind of barrier between them and the rest of the world. I really wonder why more people don't go insane. Maybe that explains why so many people turn to drugs for comfort or escape.

Okay, now its time to think happy thoughts once again.

Each day they seem to be giving me more and more responsibility at work. I, however, want to change my schedule to ten hour days four times a week. Both Nick and Tony are willing to go along with this idea. Now I have to convince my boss. I'm going to wait until Monday though.

I had written some stuff when I was at work, but I left the disk at work. Maybe I'll upload it tomorrow.
