May was a hell of a month. I have become increasingly frustrated and anxious with my job and the new direction we are taking. Whereas I had autonomy for roughly the last 20 years, I am now required to be in a specific place at a specific time which has felt counterproductive as I am a one-person shop. Regardless, I have accepted that I need to abide by these rules as the government environment that I started in is no longer the same. I have spoken with colleagues and people from other departments and this seems to be the trend across the board. I have taken some time off on stress leave and I am hoping to go back to work in June with an open mind as I only have a few years left before I can retire.
On the plus side, Chris came down for a few days and we had some great discussions. Although we work in different fields, there is a lot of commonalities between our current work situations.
I am hopeful that June will be better than May. Fingers crossed.
