I fucking hate that this job makes me do petty things like take extra long bathroom breaks on a busy Monday morning because my co-workers, my so-called “team”, is too busy gossiping about the weekend or sharing the minutia of deeply personal and borderline inappropriate for work home life issues. I literally have to remove myself from the office to ge them to halfway pick up the slack. I have to get more proactive in looking for another job. I just don’t have any successful experience with finding a new job while still with a current employer. I always end up with a gap in employment. And I just can’t go through that again.

Was thinking about my first job after high school writing for a small local bi-weekly newspaper. When I covered games for one of the local high school football teams on a way out of town game I’d have to find a pay phone (I didn’t have a cellphone yet) after the game and read my story the editor back in the office to transcribe it in order to make the deadline for the Saturday morning edition. That was only 18 years ago, but journalists were doing things that way before fax machines and email for decades prior. I’m technically considered a “millennial” but think people around my age have a very unique perspective on the shift of life from the 20th to 21st century.
