Me is the same in feeling towards my current position. I really like the combination, that I won't find like that outside. For sure.

My problem is that none of my colleagues can do anything and I can do everything. With my qualification it would be easy to find outside. And that's year for year with changing colleagues - and I don't get a raise, not in these crazy times right now. Nor before. Stupit.

But, I have some benefits, like stand up in the morning and write a Whatsapp message if everyone is ok with me taking day off, or, the hierarchy is very flat with every one working on their own .

So I try to see the good side of the job. Don't you have good times, too? Some days are really productive, some sucks. In the end of the day, I think about what have I done and what needs to be done "tomorrow.." (procrastinated). On the next day, I'm happy with finishing all that, and, again..what need to be done tomorrow..

So it's stress. But a "good" one. Do you sometimes have that moment of feeling good after some difficult situation, too?

I think the weights are towards the negative with you. Not the usual hokus pokus esotericus - but, buy that Lapislazuli and put it 3 times a day near your stomach!

No, joke. Try to see the positive aspects in what you do. Don't care about the others. You have to assume that the others are lazy and stupid, but also you do have to realize that in the eyes of other's you're lazy and stupid, too. By that it's easier to understand the fault's, errors, decisions - after all it's human. Some are really crazy.. and a friend of mine once told me he thinks I'm strange. I don't see that in my self observations :)

That will the beginning..

don't be toxic. See no toxic. Don't become toxic. (Chuck Norris)
