A Vision...but its hard to see - the computer screen is burning my retinas...

as I am sitting here at my nice desk, using my nice computer,
at this nationally recognized association...
Good pay, good Ben's, good people... Good resume builder...
but I think... I am not sure - but I think just now I --- I don't like it anymore....
nothing happened.
this vision just overtook me...
I get up early to fight traffic, stare at a buzzing screen, get hunched over at the desk,
work on creating ads, pamphlets, newsletters, press releases and the sort - it is interesting but - YIKES!
I do email and phone calls during the day with people
who LOVE us too much -- or HATE us too much...
I fight traffic to get home...
Then have to clean - dishes, laundry... You name it.
Take the dogs out, make dinner, organize bills...
Then go to bed early so I can do it all over again....
besides LOOKING Good on a resume....
I don't see that this "old men's club"
really has anything to offer me down the road...
I see no advancement coming my way....
I don't know if I can make it a year like this...
but what?
if I have to have a office job - this is the best office job I've ever had...
I need to make above a certain amount of
money (and regularly) to survive in the DC area....
while i do interesting things here most days, I am not doing what I really enjoy...
I don't feel I am really helping anyone in anyway -
and I don't think I am growing from the work I do....
in addition to my work - I do at least 70% of the work for my co-worker...
I am the communications assistant -- and he is the SENIOR comm. assist.
But doesn't even know how to load paper into the computer printer....
but he has a Willy and so he must be "senior" material....
when I help him with a job - he gets/takes credit....
only one of my managers seems to have a brain - and a compassionate nature...
** Harumph!! **
I'm really over it.
...maybe tomorrow I'll change my mind...
