Not everyone wants to work to live. Lately I have been feeling that I owe it to myself to find a job that I love. After tech writing for 20 years, I often feel like I am going around in circles or worse. My last job was a major step backwards, and it has been hard to recover. You can do everything right, demand respect, be pleasant, make yourself invaluable etc etc and still have little control over your situation. I have a BS/CS and major work experience in several industries, and this holiday season I was asked to organize the cookie exchange...talk about ridiculous.
