the evil circle of 24/7
13 years ago
Hello,
I am presently working for a ministary of my stat gouvernement, personaly it realy uninteresting job, nothing i am doing here make me feel proud of my work, event if i am computer departement, i rarely my self stuff that go over using already made software, ocasionaly i am writhing a .SQL file, but it about all...
So, why i am still here after like 6 year? Well at first, the team was awsome, people was helping eatch other and we hade fun doing it, a little later i hade be able to do some 24/7 suport, this is a good extra money and at first i was finding it fun and chalanging...
Few years ago, we got a new boss, little boss i should say, because we have so much boss over our head it a little scary.... Any way, this guy is the kind of "I do it my way because it the only good way", so what the enevitable happened..... people decide to leave, some get away, if you add the leaving for retirement we lost like 8 persone on a team of 11, some new one joined but they mostly leaved too after some time...
Right now it the worse part, our little Napoleon hade decided to go the principal of the ITIL philosophie, what it suposed to be good went you are a big enteprise, not went you are a service of like 20 with nearly 1/3 of consultants, the reste of the team are all checking to move in another job, including me.
All that to say that i am now preaty depressed by my actual job, and that did not include the fact i have to do 2 hours of road in a bus to get to work and back from it, so i am also realy tired.....
But i still have to do 24/7 (finaly the main sujet), now i hate it, it now feeling like some kind of jail, it like brigning the jail that is my workplace to my house, the only reason i still doing it, other then i am forced by my boss, is that i need the money, in the few last years i did crasy thing that put me in dept, thing i should hade not done, or done differently, like buy a condo apartement, or renting a car that is over my capacity to pay or do some trip with out realy caring about how much money i was throwing away...etc etc
Now i guess the best alternative for me is to sold my appartement, i will probably make a little profit on it and be able to pay some of my dept, and finaly by able to live in a larger appartement (this one rented), maybe do some more traveling, what i did start to have the taste for recently and finaly be able to stop doing 24/7 and find a better job.
I have so much interesting stuff i will like to do if i was not crushed by this job i hate, like drawing more, make more plushie and maybe do some volontary work... That will be one of my gold to be able to make personalyse plushie for kids who are sick or hade difficult life, but my mind is so tortured with work that i am not able to find enoug will to do it right now... Maybe one day....
