And away we go

Day two of my blog and the tension is mounting, what do I write about?!!
Not that this has to be filled everyday, especially since I haven't even told any of my friends about my blog, but I feel like some effort should be put into it.

Today I actually had some work to do, it was nice to be busy for a change. Though if you would have seen me just two weeks ago you would have thought my job was running me into the ground with the deadlines and amount of work needed to be completed. But its all about fits and starts. We have to hurry up to wait. That's not the most fun working environment. I mentioned to the director that I was looking to switch off the current project and he almost had a cow. And now the client is freaking out because the manager has gone on to another job. Hi, you're not even paying us for the work we are doing for you right now, so why does it matter who is doing it if you like what we give you?!! Grr, client is complete moron.
At my last job I felt very sedentary with my work. You know, every first week of the month get x, y, and z completed. By the last week of the month make sure to have certain things taken care of. And that got boring really fast. Now I am somewhere, where I don't know where the wind will take me and I am still bored. Hmm, must be me, and not the work. It is not as though I don't know how to sit in one spot or act in a professional manner. I think it is more about engagement. If I am engaged with what I am doing the hours fly by and I feel a sense of completion. Right now, I just am not feeling that. I really liked the research I did previously, I felt like a detective. I knew the answer was out there, but it was up to me to find it. That was great. You learn about the topic while you research, you become an instant expert in that subject matter and the information stays with you. You pick up new tricks, remember sources, and are seen as the 'go to person.' I like that. Here, everyone is bright, everyone is interested, so it gets boring because we are all the same. I am not saying that I was the smartest one of the group at my old place, hardly! But what niche I had carved out for myself was just that, my niche, no one else did it or had the time to do it, so I was the source. Maybe it is that I need more glory in my job. More 'great job' more something substantive - instead of saying 'whew, good things we got through that.' People continually tell me that what I am experiencing is on the negative spectrum of what my business does, I got the short straw, so to say, when I was placed on the project. But that's the issue, I have known no other, why keep me here when you know that the client is a dead weight tied around our necks while we are trying to tread water within a strong undertow? Dramatic, but it gets the point across.
Just got more to do, so must run!!
