Work, uh, sucks...


Been at my 2nd life profession, in the computer field, for about 11 years. Maybe it's burnout, but .. I'm just tired of fighting Bill Gates constantly.... In my former life, I was a laborer, a millwright, a railroad machinist, and a railroad 'hostler' (like an engineer but only moves locomotives for servicing, a horse cavalry term). In those jobs, the worst it got on a problem was you needed an acetylene torch and that ALWAYS worked... Sometimes I long to be back in one of those 'blue' jobs where when you go home, 100% of the job stays at the job..
Guess I'm waiting for the second wind; for this to pass, as I know it will.
1 Good thing about this job: Instant Gratification
1 Bad thing: Clients expect Instant Gratification
