US + OGSF
OGSF is opening something up. I have had periods of intense sadness, and what feels like grief. They've been vague, and have passed without issue, but I sense an emotional cyst is going to be draining soon.
Also, I'm realizing more and more how much I have allowed this job to set my attitude, rather than the reverse. I realize I have immediate control over my attitude, and it need not be reflexively bitter and angry.
A friend challenged me to assume an attitude of amused mastery and flirt with the job. I'll be doing that. Meanwhile, I'm making plans for the future, with multiple possible outcomes.
1. I get a new job.
2. I start a new business.
3. I transform my job into something more pleasurable
4. I stop hating my job and realize that I'm being well-compensated to do this.
