Highlight of the day

Thought that photoshop bitch represents both topics of this post : boring with highlights.

Anyway, blonds always attract more readers.

SO.

Since I am working hard and I am too tired to blog after work, I thought I would start talking about the highlights of my days.

Oops, I meant : since I don't have much to do at work but I am too lazy and tired to blog after work, I thought I would start talking quickly about the highlights of my days.

Because I am bored.

Miserable is bored bored bored.

Again!

Don't take me wrong, the contract job is cool and the people are nice. Even my team is nice, I am even lucky that they know more than me. So my job is about sitting, pretending, and earning the cash.

And waiting.

I am not sure what I am waiting for, the end of the contract maybe? One may think that I must have stuff to do, even occasionnaly. Yes occasionnally I do. I receive about 10 emails per day, so I send ten emails back.

And I do what I am paid for : I take care of the job of the woman I replace.

It is all about pretending that you have something to do in the end. We are deep in the fucking crisis and people hang on to their jobs like mussells on the shore. And like mussells they have nothing to do.

So I what do I do? Well I take time to think about my career, and I occasionally look for a job.

Let's face it, looking for a job is more fun than actually working. When you look for a job, you are always hopeful. You expect an outcome, you dream about a better situation for yourself. Grass is always green on the other side of the fence.

Last week went to two more interviews. One liked me and may see me again, another rejected me : I went for a job in digital pestilence and got rejected because I only ever worked in digital pestilence. Worst, the recruitment agent got offended when I told him that the hiring manager was a time waster.

fucker.

but I digress.

That was not a highlight of a day (maybe the lowlight of the week).

The highlight of an office worker's day - especially in middle management - is something small that happened during the day in the office, that brought joy.

Or at least that didn't bring stress, frustration, or irritation.

Don't you ever wonder what made your day at work? What is it that makes you think it is all worth it and justify you sitting around being either too busy - or like me, doing nothing/waiting?

Leave the money aside for one minute, what did you enjoy today??

A highlight can be : not falling asleep during a webex conference, eating an M&S brownie, or having your colleague bringing donuts Krispy Kreme and NOT feeling like vomitting on him thereafter.

Damn I can't think of any highlight today...
