snazzykat: Does anyone know?
At which point does enough become "enough"? Is it when your ridiculous workload finally becomes insurmountable? Is it when unreasonable co-workers finally go from annoying to downright bastards? Is it when you finally have to let go of your last shred of professional pride in your work in order to do your job? Is it when you actually find yourself feeling "bad" to go home at 5 o'clock because you have work left to do?

I'm thinking I might be really close to "enough".

For me, the final straw comes down to "character assassination". I deal with these kinds of situations everyday and yet I still manage to put out decent work (even if I do say so myself). I have been kept awake at night thinking about the next days project and I have found myself on a Sunday afternoon looking forward to going to work on Monday. I love my work. I might even go so far as to say that I do, like a co-dependent girlfriend, love my job. I bust my butt everyday for this stupid job.

It just seems extremely F'ed up to me that with all I do, there is always someone who has something to say to tear it down.

I get it... I'm the bastard... who else could it be? Just me and my fits of character assassination.

If you really want to make a break for it let me know. Me and the guys on "D" will stage a riot. Dat oughta keep the screws offa yous back.

It's all a matter of perspective. From the boss's perspective "enough" isn't even close to being enough.

So is it the workload that bothers you, or just a lack of positive recognition?

I guess my main complaint is that no matter how well I do my job, it seems there is always someone over my shoulder trying to find some fault. I know I'm not unique or special (not a delicate snowflake) but I get to say what I feel like here, and this is what I feel like, at least for today. Sorry if it sounds like whining.

If I am doing my job completely and to the best of my abilities (which is pretty damn good), then leave me the heck alone...that sort of thing.

Believe me, ma'am, I hear that. Unfortunately, I don't think it gets any better. Anywhere I've been that I've created something there was always some asshat finding fault with.

And you know I'm flawless.

If someone finds fault with something I do, I tell them it is "Wabi Sabi".

Well, at least that should be enough to get them to shake their head and leave the room, which is accomplishment enough.
