i'm realizing that what i hate most about my job is a direct result of what i love the most. it's not infrequent that i come home from work frustrated and stressed, yet i love my job soooo incredibly much. i think i enjoy it because i'm needed there. i am responsible for quite a bit (for sure more than i was as a student worker in the IT dept at school the last few years) -- the bar-code printers, the hand-held bar-code scanners, the 80 pc's and 40 laptops we have floating around the plant, and whatever else my boss has for me to do. some days are relatively quiet (like yesterday :-\ ), but most of the time i'm swamped. so with the responsibility, comes stress. i guess that's how it has to be.......
