I hate my job. I don't think I'm able to do one thing right there. If I'm helpful, I'm stealing the thunder from the other, more deserving employees. If I do exactly what I'm supposed to do, they hint that I should take the initiative. If I take the initiative, I'm chastised for being somewhere I'm not supposed to be. And nothing is clear. Never does anyone tell me I'm doing something right or doing something wrong. It's all hints and suggestions, eyebrows and tone of voice, micro inequities and passive aggression.

I *hate* my job. And I'm stuck with it for at least another seven months.
