Corporate frustrations 090803

I am in a stand-still.

I am torn.

I am pissed and frustrated.

I am seriously sad that I feel like this towards my job. I have long swallowed the fact that I am underpaid but now it's just too much to bear.

I go to work doing NOTHING! I am asked to do something, but I am wise enough to know that it is just to guise the fact that I am doing nothing! I am the type of person who goes to work to WORK! Not to procrastinate and come up with trivial things to show that I am productive when that is the one thing I am NOT! I hate that I cannot use my potential because I am not certified to do so. I am better than that! I am to good to NOT be doing things I know I can be great at. How do you expect me to feel when I go to work and do the same things as people who are paid way more than I am? No offense to them but what the fuck!

I have always had high hopes for my job. But all those hopes have gone kaput! And I am saddened that I feel this way, because to be honest, I love what I do. But now I am doing things that I never signed up for. I am TOO GOOD for this!

What's even more sad is the fact that I have the best boss in the world and the coolest co-workers. I know the situation is beyond their control but I hate the fact that I am working under the false pretense of being productive.

It's sad, but I really have to let go.

Again, I'm too good for this!
