Oh my God I am going to kill everyone in my office today! I get here and no sooner have I sat down at my desk to do my morning blog search and email check than my boss comes in changing his mind on who we are going to have our marketing material designed by. Granted this shouldn't even fall under my job title but someone just left our office last week after being here for three years and her job all of a sudden became mine.
Of course lets have the new girl do everything and not hire anyone else. I mean really I just got a $5,000 pay raise that is it and I now have three jobs in one. Because that was an even trade! I can't even get a good grasp on the work or come up with the Development plan I was working on so we just don't fly off the seat of our pants any more because now I have double the work load. It just sucks knowing on Wednesday that I am going to have to come into the office this weekend.
And on top of that I have been trying to be really good at leaving work at work and home at home so that I don't totally have a breakdown. I mean moving and a new job! Crazy!
That got me wondering a bit...Why do we as Americans do this to ourselves? Why do we go crazy over jobs and positions that don't do anything back for us except fire us? Why do I have a need to be one of the Top 40 under 40 in Detroit and join the Women's Economic Club? Why do I want to be so successful in my career that I am willing to put other things (important things) to the side for it?
The problem for me is if I am not in that fast paced, crazy job I am bored out of my mind. What the heck is my problem...Do I really need counseling or am I doomed to be a yuppie, overachiever all my life?

Jobs? Who needs them? I want to join a hippie nudist colony where all we do is farm and read all day.
