diary - day 234
Another day of being completely reactive.
More days than not in this job are - at least where I am currently.
It's draining. I'm reacting to decisions people made (or didn't make) years ago most days, with the urgency of 'needs doing RIGHT NOW' on everything. It is ALWAYS top priority.
This will just burn me out. Lack of creative outlets in building interesting things and always feeling behind, and when the thing you work on and are associated with is always on fire, it doesn't look good on you - even if not your fault. I literally don't even have a chance to try get ahead of things with better monitoring. It's insane.
So, a frustrating day.
