I do not have the personal resources to save the place nor the desire to expend all that on them. If I dump all of my energy into the place, I still can't save it and my energy is wasted. On the other hand, if I preserve that for myself and spend that energy on my own projects, perhaps I can get something for it. <br /> <p>It's a sad point to reach. I love what I do and you have to work pretty hard to make me not like doing that. That work has been expended, though, and now I'm a zombie. I know my input is being ignored, that my efforts will be ultimately useless and that as you say, whether I put in a heroic effort or do nothing has no difference in the final outcome. I'm just trying to stay sane and make my world more like I want it with all the power I have. <br /> <p>Hang in there!</p></p> Craig,
I’m not sure if your blog entry made me feel better or worse about my own situation. I feel just about the way you do, ready to check out (really I am just post-checkout) from the day to day crap of my job. I do not have the personal resources to save the place nor the desire to expend all that on them. If I dump all of my energy into the place, I still can’t save it and my energy is wasted. On the other hand, if I preserve that for myself and spend that energy on my own projects, perhaps I can get something for it.

It’s a sad point to reach. I love what I do and you have to work pretty hard to make me not like doing that. That work has been expended, though, and now I’m a zombie. I know my input is being ignored, that my efforts will be ultimately useless and that as you say, whether I put in a heroic effort or do nothing has no difference in the final outcome. I’m just trying to stay sane and make my world more like I want it with all the power I have.

Hang in there!

I just got finished thrashing my mangement for letting me get disconnected. It it bad mangement for allowing this to happen? Or did I want it?<br /> Maybe its something that they are putting in the water. Right On. I just got finished thrashing my mangement for letting me get disconnected.
