Yes, I'm Sad and Pitiful
But well paid, so it evens out.
At work, I am what we used to call in the military, the "shitty little jobs guy". All of the crap tasks that nobody else wants to do get assigned to me. At first, it was because until I was up to speed on the office procedures, it was a way to keep me busy and to free up other people. Now, it's because management has realized that it doesn't matter how dull or thankless the job, I'm going to do the best with it that I can. It's a mixed blessing. On the one hand, I get attaboys for doing these important but excruciatingly mind-numbing tasks each and every day. On the other, I've done them so well that they can't imagine giving them to someone else who won't be as conscientious about it. I'm not bragging here. I've told my manager that I hate doing it with a passion, but as long as it's part of my job, I'll do my best. So each and every morning, I spend anywhere from an hour to four hours doing mindless and repetitive (and critical) "chores", for lack of a better word. Lately, I've been listening to audio books while I work. I linked to Podiobooks a while back (oops, I did it again), and most of what I've been enjoying has come from there. Initial Impressions: Come, Let Me Whisper - excellent short horror stories. I recently finished Burt's novel, Revelations, and that was very good too. I'm now downloading further episodes of CLMW from his website. (these others are all available at Podiobooks.com) Crescent - Science Fiction. I've heard the first two episodes, and so far it's easily keeping my interest. Shadow Falls - This one is like a cross between Twin Peaks and Rosemary's Baby. By far the best audio production I've heard... as in, excellent sound and effects. It's too soon to tell whether the story can keep up the momentum after an awesome start. Brave Men Run - an alternate history fiction, with elements reminiscent of The Incredibles. Another excellent beginning. You download these to your PC or mp3 player, just as you would a podcast. Highly recommended.

Virtually all of whatever you claim happens to be supprisingly appropriate and that makes me wonder the reason why I hadn't looked at this in this light previously. This article really did switch the light on for me personally as far as this issue goes. However at this time there is actually 1 position I am not really too comfy with so whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual core theme of the point, let me observe just what all the rest of your visitors have to say.Nicely done.
