I don't like my job.
I like writing things.
I'm not supposed to write things at work, or do anything creative whatsoever.
I've sent a few articles to magazines, to see if they want to publish them, but I haven't had any replies, which is annoying.
The thing is, I just don't have much time to write, as well as working, so I can't send out nearly as much as I'd like.
Plus everytime I don't hear anything, I start to think it's not worth it.
My manager asked me what I'd like to be doing in 5 years time. I lied.
It's like whenever it looks like there's a timeslot I can sit and write something decent, something else comes and fills it.
My goal was to see some results my Christmas, and it looks like I've missed that.
I've just got to keep going, I guess.
Bah, I feel so frustrated. I wish I could skip forward a year or so, just to see if it's all worthwhile.
Uncertainties suck.
I ought to win the lottery, so it won't matter if no one wants what I write, and I won't have to stay here...
I know that's highly unlikely though, so it's back to waiting to hear something from the last letter I sent off.
I need to plan better, use my time better, I shouldn't be waiting, ever, I should be writing something else, and see if anyone wants that.
I just wish I'd get a reply, a simple 'no' is better than nothing, I went through all this years ago when I was applying for jobs.
I want a calendar.
Not any calendar, I want my own calendar, the Strokes have one, and they're hardly popular.

Sorry, this line kills me,
Although I spose unless your using SAP to enter your time it won't have much time.
I'm in the same position mate, I don't like my job, UNIX Administrator, I spend more time surfing and making up time. And as I'm an apprentice its crap.
Recently most of my team left for another company (well all of them except me) and I wasn't wanted because I'm an apprentice.
That means I now am basically my team leader and lacky, I have to handle all of the requests that come in, which means busy fridays and nowt to do the rest of the week.
I do a hell of a lot compared to most people here though, and they all earn 3 to 4 times more than me.
But I'm gonna stick it out to the end of my apprenticship, I've given up too many things in my life and I need to prove my parents wrong.

I agree woth GB. Leave.
Life's too short to sit somewhere you don't wanna be and waste it away, daydreaming of a better world.
The only way to get a response from magazines and the like for writing is to hound them. Send everything to them. Beg for jobs making tea for them. Eventually, they'll let you in. That's how a mate of mine got to write for Superbikes magazine.

Leave Meka.
Instead of bitching about it, leave.
That simple.
Sorry to sound harsh dude, but it really. Is. That. Simple.
There are thousands of jobs out there that require no input apart from physical presence and give you the time to write.
Nobody says you have to work there, nobody has a gun to your head mate.
Quit. Do it now.
Put your pen/whatever down and say "You know what? This sucks and I'm better than this" and go.
I've done it before and I'll do it again when I get fed up with where I am now.

You hate your job? Welcome to life.
Try being a "Home maker".

It's a job that requires no creativity, except in making up what work I've been doing in monthly reports.
It saps at my will to live.
