Work sucks.

Mar 04, 2008 00:16

So most people probably haven't seen very much of me lately. That's because I haven't been here very much. I have spent just about the same amount of time in California as Washington so far this year. The reason being that, in addition to all of the other stuff I have to work on (which is getting busy now), I was assigned the role of updating ( Read more... )

And your work schedule combined with my busy school stuff has forced us to violate our 1-month-interval's plan!

I'm so excited about moving home! and I'm so excited for you to have your work schedule let up and get promoted ;-P

By California do you mean El Segundo or Sunnyvale?

Neither, actually. I mean the Antelope Valley (Palmdale/Lancaster, north of LA).

Ah yes, I knew I was forgetting a major CA aerospace center.

If anyone can lend an empathetic ear, it's me. I can't tell you how many times I got frustrated over the years (particularly last year in Astoria) when I needed to take care of some random personal items, and instead was on the road working 15-16+ hr days... or working 6-7 days a week... or both. Then there was the time in Denver when Cat and I went for months without getting to see each other, and I was able to count on one-hand the number days I had off between major summer holidays (Mem Weekend - 4th of July... or 4th of July - Labor Day).

But, I can tell you this. In the end, you wouldn't put in the time if you didn't enjoy the people you worked with and for, and didn't enjoy what you do. With a little bit of faith in your management, they should see that passion reflected in your dedication and you will be duly rewarded for your time, effort, and quality results.
