Today at work, my boss told me that our upcoming web services project is going to need 24/7 support for the client and that I'm on the support team. Granted, when I looked at the list, my name isn't at the top, and I could only be called for one scenario (unlike a couple of my coworkers who are at the top of the lists for each of the scenarios), but it just gives me a bad feeling. And sure, it's unlikely that anyone would answer, "Why, yes, I'd LOVE to do that!" but it would've been nice to have been asked. When I signed on for this job there was no hint that I'd be working outside of normal hours, let alone dealing with the possibility of getting a support call every Sunday at 3:30 am.
So, I'm thinking that there's a fairly good chance that I'm not long for this job. And I'm not excited at the prospect of going after another IT job that's unfulfilling. I'm getting too old for this shit. It might finally be time to figure out what I want to do with my life and GO FOR IT. What the fuck am I waiting for at this point? That needs to become my short-term goal. I want it to be something creative, but can I make money at that? Gah - it's so exasperating! I have to at least try, though, so that's what I'm going to do over the next couple of months. Wish me luck...
