Again, Who Cares?

It was so hard to concentrate at work today.  I did not really care.  I was tired and cranky.  All day long people came in and out of our office.  They talked a lot.  The new guy, Ben, talked a lot.  I let myself get distracted. There were things I wanted to do and just could not build up any enthusiasm for it.

I had to write my goals for this first quarter.  I hate that.  I don't want to have any goals at work.  I just want to sit there.  But in today's job market employers want employees who think ahead and try hard and create quantitative results.

They pay me a lot to work there so it's like they expect me to be good.

I hate that.

I churned out a goal list and submitted it.  I sure hope it does not come back to haunt me.  I had to get pretty specific.  Oh, that's right.  I just remembered why I had to do this, because my bonus will be based on it.  Oh, well.  Buh-bye bonus.

It's time to start looking for a new job.

But not tonight.

Tonight I sleep.
