This is how I feel quite often! I can't say that I have tremendous patience, because that would be a lie. When things are happening, life is grand, but the times in between can be so infuriating, especially when you're waiting for something to happen. Right now I'm waiting for to hear news concerning some assessment results, and it's frustrating because I'd expected to hear long before now. Not only that, but I feel like I can't really get on with other things until I know how I've done with this. I know I'm not the only one, but that doesn't make me feel any better about it.
I had a conversation with someone last week, which ran along similar lines. The individual in question told me that he wasn't getting any job satisfaction from work, and so was driven to seek achievement elsewhere. Not achievement as in recognition, but achievement in the sense of, having to do things in leisure time which would deliver self-satisfaction. In this instance, out-door pursuits were the order of the day, but I guess you could just as easily go hang-gliding or parachuting. It strikes me that I may have to find myself some rewarding pastime to help me fill the gaps in my existence.
It wouldn't be true to say that I never received any job satisfaction this week, all the same. I had my moments, but I'm constrained to a fair degree by the position I'm in. I'm not my own boss yet. I don't have the autonomy which would allow me to really try out the things I'd like to do. But my time will come, and when it does, I'll be making the best of it, you can be sure of that!
