I must make a minor confession. Despite my reputation for unbridled pessimism, I had entered into my new job with feelings as positive as I could make them. Though the company itself figures somewhere near the bottom of my list of "Acceptable Capitalist Organisations", I hoped the job itself would be interesting, satisfying, the co-workers friendly and the superiors understanding and co-operative. These hopes have since been belied. In charge of an unviable sales channel, managing a dead-end product, taking the blame for numbers well beyond my control...even all this would have been acceptable had the other two points - about the co-workers and superiors not been so far off the mark as to be almost pathetic crutches to hang on. The problem is that I can't seem to find a way out. There's very little that keeps me going there.

not even a month into your job and you have already crashed and burnt?!! tsk tsk where would lesser mortals like us go, old chap?
I ain't no greater mortal, waterbearer, you know that. I am, and have always been, weak.

...Job blues ..is perhaps the best word 4 this ! . its becoz we make the misatke over& again .. nothing But .. EXPECTATION ...so is the company passes this harmless words ..thru numerous channels and we start aligning ours ones with theirs ! .....
Tsk tsk... only work blues drive you up the wall? What'll happen to wider human suffering? Who will shed tears on universal pain? You, my dear chap, seem now sadly unfit for that task. You were imagined to be so much more but eventually turned out to be only a mere mortal, crying at the same woes that affect the most average of us. As i wave you goodbye from the 'we're only concerned about world peace' bandwagon, i heave a sigh at what might have been... how are the mighty fallen, how transient is potential...
