I think the clock is moving backward...I really do.  |
It might be dangerous for me to admit this, but I have been chronically under-employed for most of the past 7 years (which I've spent with the same employer). Quite honestly, it sucks because the days just drag on and I feel so incredibly unproductive while my mind just wastes away. And it isn't like I'm not getting paid good money to sit in an office and do nothing--if I were getting paid a lot less, it would be easier to just walk away, but as it is, it just seems foolish to do so, even though I feel like every moment I'm here I'm shortening my life expectancy by two.
I was under-employed in my first real job after college as well, but I didn't really know any better, but it does make me wonder if not having enough work to fill the day is "normal."
