Journal AngryPuppy's Journal: I need motivation 3

Journal by AngryPuppy on Friday April 04, 2003 @05:00PM

I need to motivate myself. I've been coming in to work every day, but just not doing anything while I'm here until the situation is urgent.

I don't know why.

Management hasn't noticed because I still get stuff done. I find myself having to tell lies all the time to cover for my laziness (status reports, etc.) until the next burst to get things done.

I'm not a lazy guy.

Am I depressed, or just tired?

I know I'm tired. Not sure if I'm depressed.

  I think you have a good point about constant interruptions. I work legacy IBM stuff... yeah... COBOL. We're trying to convert operating systems, and it seems like every time I try to drill in, there's some other piece of administrivia that pops up.
  
  Has anyone ever said anything to you that seemed to ring so true that it hit you like a brick?
  
  Thanks for dropping in. Seriously. I appreciate it.

Hi Angry Puppy,
I think you are just experiencing the perfectly normal effects of being a slave. This is nothing to be alarmed about. It happens to most slaves, sooner or later.
Perhaps you need some real discussion, to get your brain working again? I am trying to get a good discussion about religion going in my journal. Care to join us?
