Today:
I woke up in a great mood. I put some washing on and made my lunch, and drove to work.
And then:
I sat down in front of my computer and just about cried from the sheer volume of hate that welled up in me. I'm working on a very complicated scene, made by someone who works in a very different style to me- program features I'm not comfortable with, custom scripts I dont have time to reverse-engineer, odd shader networks that are counter-intuitive to me, unusual naming schemes. And on top of all that, it takes 30 minutes to render a frame, and this job needs to be finished by friday. Its taken me a day and a half just to get a vague handle on how the scene works, let alone how to change it.
ANYWAY-
I can feel a nasty, evil, *bitchy* afternoon coming on. Its only a job. Its only a job. repeat

And its a fantastic win-win situation for me: If I have a job to come back to, I'll be coming back, and if I get fired then its a decision taken out of my hands and I can stay there without guilt :-)

Sounds to me like you should tell Glen to stick the job sideways up his arse. :p

Not at all- he's not even here, he's on holiday. To be honest the problem is with me- When I started this job things were different, smaller, we worked as a team and it suited me perfectly. But I'm not doing that job any more- I'm damage control, repairing parts of other peoples jobs, and if that was teh job I was offered 5 years ago I would have declined. Well, left before now..

Stay?
Hello Imigration, I'd like to report a lost Kiwi :)

Now, can you go back to the person who did the work and talk to them about it? Maybe help a bit more on getting a handle on it?

Dont be a bitch. rom the sounds of it you'd be the only person who'd report me- and by then I'll be happily married, with 2 kids calling me 'dad' and pleasantly ensconced in Anchorage.
Mwah.

I always knew you had the hips to give birth! lol
love you!
