Today was a gong show. Work was insane. From nasty emails from suppliers to customers complaining about things that may not warrant complaints. It felt like the crap was hitting the fan, all day. I just don’t know what to do.  I, generally, like my job. But it’s been stressful lately. With the economy being like it is, I’m concerned about growth and job security but I’m also stressed about choices — where to go, or not, what to do. Even though I’m getting used to it, there were more lay offs today. Again only a few, and it seems that the economy’s the excuse to restructure, but it doesn’t make it any easier.  Sometimes I’d like to just take off, work in an exotic part of the world.   I don’t know… It’s not that I mind crazy stressful days, but when it feels like it’s fruitless and serves no good purpose what’s the point?
It just makes my goals and plans — where I want my career to be in 5 years — all the more pressing — I like having things clearly sorted out in my mind. I always knew that I’d need to evaluate that and make some choices so that I’m not just blindly coasting along.  Anyhow, tonight I ran with my group and that helped with the stress.  Here’s hoping this week goes more smoothly…
