God, and the ways in which I hate my job continue to grow, exponentially and hourly. Fuck I hate my job, fuck, I hate my job, you cannot take from me anything I would more willingly part withal. Is there anyone, anywhere, who actually does not hate his or her job mortally? I wonder. And I kind of want to give that person a cat to the face on general principle.
"I love my job, it's full of roses and sunshine and rainbows and unicorns!"
Over the years, this seems to be a recurring theme. Now is this something due to the proposal writing process (which I can assume can be stressful with a big deadline and lots of money riding on it) or to working at what appears to be the mine-face of a government contractor? Basically, do you need to be in a new industry?
Probably. I'm giving the industry one last chance in a new job; it might be Hell, Take Four. Either way, it really is the last chance I'm giving proposals. I'm good at them, as it turns out, but they're a lousy, stressful way to make a living. Nearly everybody who gets sucked into it gets spat back out by it at some point. Job security, yay; shitty job, though.

Cat to the face.

I will admit I rather envied her.
I wasn't particularly into my job at USDA, but the location and flexibility and desk and courtyard were great.
I've had aspects of all my jobs I've hated, though.
I miss feeling useful.
