I am so sick of the cold!

Dateline - Rochester, NY - Started Monday in Florida and then flew here to spend Tuesday through today (Friday). Overall, I am just depressed. Not sure if it is the job, the weather or what, but right now, I am not having fun!

And the weather that I have encountered overall during the last month has not made the situation any better. Every place I seem to go, there is either tremendous amounts of snow, sub zero temps or worse yet, both of them combined. I probably have to endure another month of visiting these cold weather climates before things take a turn for the better.

On the other hand, I have to admit that if the right offer came along, I would jump on it and leave this job as just a bad memory. Which is too bad in many respects. I really like 95% of the folks I work with. But between where the product is and the learning curve of things seemingly changing daily, in the words of Popeye, "I've had all I can stands and I can stands no more!"

It should be different because my product knowledge has gone leap years over the last quarter, but my frustration and anxiety of having to tell customer after customer that the product they are leaving is actually better than the one they are coming to is high to say the least.

Mentally, I am way past fatigued and physically, I don't seem to be too far behind.

Something has got to change soon. I don't want to endure another year of this (and it will take that long to make all the product changes necessary to be competitive). But what to do in the interim.

Tomorrow is a significant birthday in my journey and I am just going to enjoy the day and see what it brings.

TTFM
