Good god I'm bored. I don't understand. This has been
happening to me at every job I've had for the last four
years almost. Sheesh. At the doctor's office I was always
busy, there was always something to be working on even if
the work itself wasn't all that challenging. Then, when I
worked with the teenagers, I liked the work, but there
wasn't enough of it to keep me busy. Then, at my last job
in that area I got WAY BORED, just like, driving myself
crazy bored. But everyone else was always soo busy and
freaking out about stuff. Everyone except me. And my boss
loved me. And I got my work done. Now, here, it's so
ridiculous. I sit here all day.. I check my personal email,
tool around on some bulletin boards, and leave early when I
can. It's insane. But my bosses love me! I got promoted in
April, talking about promoting me again now... I dunno -- I
kinda think that I NEED much more responsibility. Everyone
always feels sorry for me because I do have a caseload of
17 people, plus the "senior" part of my responsibilities of
doing all the compliance shit. Honestly, I don't have
enough to do.

I mean, I do have stuff to do. That's also part of it -- I
end up wasting time here goofing off on the computer, and I
lose all motivation to do what I do need to do. Ugh.

Anyway, let's see.. we had our Holiday lunch yesterday at a
chinese place. Big Boss Lady (BBL) sat next to me and we
talked a little before lots of people got there. She said
that they'd have to be making decisions soon about the
promotional positions they have, basically telling me to
make up my damn mind. I told her that I still haven't
gotten any clarification from the people about the "new"
position I interviewed for, oh, 2 months ago. So, I emailed
BBL today asking if she'd meet with me this week so we can
discuss things. She's not in today, though.

We did the secret santa after lunch. I always feel like a
weasle with that stuff, because we're told that we
shouldn't spend more than $20 on the gift, but I feel like
other people definitely do and then I feel like a schmuck
because the girl I got only got a candle and some cookies.
Oh well.

I left after the lunch... which didn't get over til just
after 4. Got home, checked the mail. Someone had put a note
in our mailbox about our neighbors who lost their son. It's
so sad... on Friday afternoon their 18-year old son was
killed in a car accident. Ugh, it's so sad. The kid worked
at our A&P, but I don't know if I ever saw him. It's so
sad.

Jon worked late. He's trying hard to make his month. He
didn't get home til almost 8:30. We watched a little TV and
I went to bed at 10.

God, I am so bored. I hate this. I think I may just leave.
Neither of my bosses are here today. I do still have two of
my guys to see, but I can do it tomorrow. Yeah, I think
I'll do that. I just hate sitting here and being bored.
It's nice to have downtime, but this is ridiculous.

Hasta la pasta.
