I have just spoken briefly with my boss; he wants to have 'a more detailed chat' later this morning.
What am I going to say to him? Most jobs do have some stress. Nobody likes to have to get up on a Monday morning, and go to work. A few of us are lucky enough to enjoy our jobs. Five years ago, I would probably have said that, on balance, I liked my job. Somewhere, since then, a line has been crossed. And, somehow, I want to get back to the right side of that line.
I don't mind working hard. I don't like not knowing what I should be doing. And I don't like having to do things which don't feel right. I don't like politics. I don't like doing things which may be right for some people, but not for others.
I do like to help people. I like to solve problems. Perhaps I'm just a dinosaur - I don't belong in the new world of managed desktops, identity management, and server management which isn't management because somebody else 'facilities manages' the box.
