From Newbius:
What is the average length of time that a normal person should be expected to perform an unpleasant job function, without receiving any positive feedback or additional monetary motivation upon successful completion of the taskings?
Well, for me, it was over three years. But it I had to do it over again? I would have told my employer where he could place my job after the first 11 month stint. (Worked for him for 11 months, worked for myself, then came back– after my former supervisor begged me– for two years and a few months.) The job was (quite literally) Hell with fluorescent lights.
Why is Newbius’ question timely? Because it was a year ago Friday that I told my employer that I wouldn’t be in on Monday– or any day after that, for that matter.
That means that Friday is my blogiversary…
