vicarzGood morning, I feel like talking to myself. I have been drinking 44oz of coffee way too much, but I feel like doing it again today.
A major development has been revealed to me - my group is going to move out of Beltsville, MD, back into DC at "Patriot's Plaza" in 2011 or later. That means were I to stay I'd be commuting 100% for free again by metro rail, subsidized by my employer. It makes my wanting to leave OR move to MD a far tinier urge. It also means my thoughts of buying a Toyota while they are having a PR problem would still be a bad idea. I do like a sale though.
Sat here all this time and never posted. Work ate my day again, and tomorrow is booked up already too. I ... I used to do my job and have some downtime. I used to take lunch. I recently crossed 150 comp hours so in order to not lose leave this year I have to take a week of all but 2 months for the entire year. I'm doing this to myself, right? I could leave, right? This is only for a little while, right?
I love my job, no so much my peers, like a lot of my bosses but they're all leaving (am I just too foolish to leave this horrid place?), and I'm not interested in joining these management ranks. I know 3 different people I could talk to to walk into other jobs - not doing it.
I used to count money as "How long can I not-work," but now I don't want to cash in on that until retirement.
I'm so stuck in work I have nothing else to say.

Date: 2010-02-05 09:14 am (UTC)I wish I knew now if I was wrong or not, but even so the job does have a lot of autonomy. We have so much turnover it's not clear it'll be the same tomorrow...but the fact there is so much turnover has a source that never seems addressed. Hmm.
