are you sure that all the other workplaces are similiar to yours!! i understood that you're a nifty coder, an arm like that can be used to many purposes... do not fret, do not give up... but yeah gimme your thoughts
no im sure other places could be better. i've been thinking about moving anyways so it's kind of just more of a reason or more of a motivation. I'm actually going to take a trip to NYC to visit couchfiend and talk to the people at his work, they kind of want to hire me. It's just a meet and greet but that will be nice.
but yeah today specifically was bad, i had to just leave and I drove around for an hour, went to a fast food place and just sat there. forlorn. but I remember watching the people work there and i envied them. i want a simple job that you can fall into a routine and the day passes you by and you go home and that's it. nowadays i dont get much work done because i cant bring myself to do anything, and i cant relax at home because i feel like shit for wasting a whole day. the next day i try and psych myself up and say "ok today im finally going to get some shit done, i'm just gonna do it" and nothing happens. I sit here and I try to get a game-plan for the day and i can't do it. and it's a huge combination of things, too. The clients we deal with, the way the bosses promise them things and i have to deal with it, the way nobody understands/comprehends let alone respects what I/we do (the programmers/web developers) and the fact that over 90% of the shit I spend my time making is never seen by anybody. There's a million fucking things I hate and after 5 years every one of them is so grating to me that I almost get more cynical and despondent every single day.
I also kind of feel like a dick because I have a decent job and I get paid well and it's not really that hard to do it so I'm just kind of whining because I dont wanna work. And that's bullshit. But honestly I don't mind working in general, and I know you can never get a job where you don't have to deal with assholes, but it still feels bad when every project and every client happens the exact same way, and the "higher-ups" only care about making the client happy and no matter how many times I object to a CMS system because they will never log in to it and it will take 5 times longer to get anything done and I'm told to just do it anyway I have to just do it. It's like I'm wasting my fucking life and have nothing to show for it except a stack of books I haven't got around to reading and tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt.
I just want to go into the woods and never come out.
