It is only my second week on the job and I can tell you right now that I got myself into something bigger than I thought. I can never just take a job somewhere that I can get out at 5:00 pm and have a normal life. No...Instead I am in a position where I leave the office on average at 6:30 pm and go home and work some more there.
I am your typical red blooded American worker. Type A personality that never wants to put a project off. I would rather work through the evening to make sure that it got done on time, right then. When I worked for the Pistons I was there until all sorts of un-Godly hours of the night. And when push came to shove it was easier to just let me go at the end of everything.
I am getting frustrated but I think the same thing could happen here if I am not careful. If I put too much time and effort into rebuilding this organization and then find out that the organization really didn't care I am not sure I am going to be able to handle it. There are only so many times you can not let that effect your work ethic. The hardest part is I can't just not care! I always want to do a good job. It is in my blood to be an overachiever. What I have come to realize though is that there will definitely need to be beer and wine in stock at my house if this keeps up at work!
And just a side note...14-2...Can't believe it! Come on Red Sox!

Thanks for the link to the FYC! I'd be sorry to see your beloved BoSox down 2-0 in the playoffs, but you guys won the effing World Series last year...you are not allowed to bitch!!!
Also, to cheer you up, I saw you like the onion, so I hope you check out thephatphree.com ...we like making fun of stuff, too.
That's definitely how I used to be. Then I found teaching. And I realized that I had to have a social life outside of my work life. If I put in all my effort until I left, that was the best I could do. When I daily left teaching and brought things home with me, I became bitter and annoyed. Thus, I didn't approach my job with the happy attitude I should.
I know my job now will require me to work late some nights. But thanks to TFA, I've realized that this is a job. It's not my life. I'll still always get done what I say I'll get done before it's supposed to be done. And I'll work late if I absolutely must.
But there will be plenty of wine and beer for me. And friends to enjoy it with.
Otherwise, I'd leave every job.
