About the job thing
People have been asking. It goes, that’s about it.
I started this job, even though Dell had a position waiting for me, justifying it with the following three things: (1) it had the potential to be genuinely interesting, (2) it would eventually pay better and (3) it looks good on a resume.
Problems follow: I can’t seem to squeeze my brain enough to make my job interesting. The kicker is that we are doing some really interesting shit, I just can’t bring myself to be interested in it. It doesn’t pay better right now, and as of this moment, I’m not sure it ever will.
The kicker for me is that my boss doesn’t seem to like me, and I’m not quite sure why. He strikes me as a very angry person - we can recognize our own. He takes it to extremes, though, being hostile with myself and with other team members and it’s really starting to grate on my nerves. I hesitate to say anything about anything now, it’s like talking to my dad.
So I guess I’m back in the market, sorta.
