Bored by my job. Yes. But more than that it's the people. Over the last two years I have been struggling a lot in my personal life and when I would go to work, I would pretend everything is fine. EVERYONE - EVERY DAY - asks in the hall (sometimes 2-3 times a day) "How are you? How's it going?" and EVERY time I respond with a smile, "Good" and I think to myself what a stupid, F**King question. Stop being so idiotic. Stop it!! Ask me a question if it is relevant to work. Ask me a question if you really want to know the answer. But do not ask me how I am. I am not fine. And that is how I go through every day at work. I am lucky to respect the intelligence of some of the people I work with. They are well educated and smart.
But then, outside of work, every person I meet is COMPLETELY Boring and predictable. Especially men. So predictable. I know when they are going to ask me out. I know when they are going to send me an email. I know when they are going to call. The rare times I have gone out to dinner or a baseball game with a new person, I am bored out of my mind. Can't wait to get home and I never talk to that new person again. I haven't met one new, interesting person in years. They are all boring. And most are complete morons.
