On the one hand, I work in a nice environment. The people are
friendly and helpful, and there is always enough to do. More than enough. I've
been busier in the past three weeks than I was from May – November of 2012. My
exaggeration is slight.
On the other hand, I'm in the heart of a bureaucracy. There
is paperwork everywhere, files, everywhere, things always getting processed or
shifted or simply put away. The thrill of familiarity when you come across a piece of paper with a
name - and the agony of wondering whether it was because you saw the file or
were looking for the file.
The routine, never-ending nature of the work could kill me
in the long term. But for now, it's a good resting place.
