My Frustration Tolerance Is Too High

So in the dog training world there is a phrase that we use. Frustration Tolerance. Maybe it’s in the kid or human world too but since I live in the dog world that’s what I know.
I have no fulfillment center in my life right now but I do have work. And I wonder if I have too high of a frustration tolerance. That just means that I can tolerate frustration quite a bit. You might think I don’t tolerate frustration well since I have very little patience and want what I want when I want it and that is usually NOW.
But when it comes to work and various other parts of my life I can put up with a whole heck of a lot of crap before I blow my top. And my Zoloft, of course, makes it so I hardly get mad at all anymore.
Well I think I’ve reached my frustration tolerance max with work. I think I realized, after 10 years, that I really don’t like programming. It’d tedious and there is so much detail.. it’s like staring at the computer screen all freakin’ day long and going through letters and numbers with a fine tooth comb. Bleh. I’m sick of it.
Not that I can do anything about it. I have four years before I can retire. And I love my coworkers. And I know this is a good job. I’m just having problems lately having to work at all. I should be an artist living on the street doing what I love. But instead I’m stuck in a stupid cubicle day in and day out and I really am tired of it.
Bleh. Oh well. Work was a pain today because my pager didn’t go off when it should have. So I’m cranky and feeling like an idiot and a failure. But I feel like that a lot at my job so no surprise there.
Oh well, is it lunch time yet?
On this day..
