Dear Fellow Wage Slaves,
When was the last time you leapt out of bed with boundless joy, eagerly anticipating the work day ahead?? Yeah, right. Hah hah hahahahahahah!!!!!!
Anyway, I gave this a little thought and I came up with a few classic signs of job burnout which hard working folk like us need to be on the lookout for.
It goes like this…..
YOU KNOW IT’S TIME TO QUIT YOUR JOB WHEN…………
1) ….you start to think that the last job you quit wasn’t so bad after all. (Okay, kind of a no-brainer, but I’m just getting warmed up).
2) ….your morning routine includes, “.....Better make this last one a Peppermint Schnapps so my boss will think its mouth wash.”
3) ….your boss doesn’t take time out of his day anymore to tell you what a lousy screw-up you are.
4) …. your boss says, “Any Monkey can do your job.” You in turn learn the Tarzan yell perfectly, in addition to performing your daily work.
5) …..you are out of vacation time. You contemplate having another child because paternity leave is a viable vacation option.
6) …..all of your closest relatives have died at least two times and bereavement leave is no longer a viable vacation option.
7) …..you try to convince your wife to become an exotic dancer to support the family. (you even bring home the advertisement).
8) …..you can explain your job to your three year old in less than five words and she understands it perfectly.
9) …..you have been bent over so many times you consider adding PPD to your job title. PROCTOLIGIST PRACTICE DUMMY.
10) …..you start becoming a daily contributor to the company newsletter, which is written in black marker, on the door of bathroom stall number 3.
Please feel free to add any more of your own signs or tips that indicate you may need to be moving on to greener grass. Have a very productive day. As for myself, I’m going to sleep till noon, and maybe read a few Help Wanted ads later on this afternoon. Or I might pay some bills. Hopefully Citibank Visa has raised my credit limit.
