The job

I have exactly nothing interesting to say today. The weekend was good. Went crazy and bought too many plants, and now am trying to devise ways to plant them and avoid the scorching heat that followed our one week of pleasant spring weather.

Back at work, chaos as usual. Looks like some software updates from our IT department have interfered with the system we use to update the web site. This is a very bad thing. Other boring stuff is happening, too. Honestly, there are many wonderful things about my job--especially the people. But when I look at it closely, beyond the endless distraction and flood of tasks, I think this is probably just a way to make money and enjoy good benefits for a while.

Who knows, maybe I'll feel more fulfilled after we launch our redesigned site next fall. My job will definitely be changing, and it's worth waiting around a little longer to see if I can steer it in a direction more to my liking. But really, this summer is going to be hellish and there are days that I resent the impossible workload I've been handed.
