Lose the bad attitude about my job

... but my attitude is getting marginally better. Maybe it’s because I know there are escape routes. Maybe it’s because I’m doing a reasonable job of keeping my priorities aligned, and remembering that 1) it’s a job, not my life, and 2) the company does not love me. It is merely a corporate entity. Not a person, not a friend, not family – just a corporation.

I’m also trying to hold onto the thought that this is just one job within a big company, and that I can get another job within the big company. Even more, that I need to hold on for the right job. Until it comes along, I’m trying to make the best of the one I’m in, and to do my best work there.

But damn, it’s hard.

My job has been rough the past couple of months. I’m gradually working on my attitude; the job itself isn’t likely to get better, nor am I likely to stay in it indefinitely. It was just a bad fit all around, and it can be remedied. First, though, I want to get to a point where I’m not running FROM a bad situation, but going TO a good one. Not there yet.
