Same old frustrations

Isn't it ironic that my last post 6mos ago was all about my job hunting frustrations?

Because unfortunately I'm facing the same turmoil again. Yes, back to square one is your heroine. I'm job-hunting again.

I'll be in my current job for almost 6mos now and I really don't know what's wrong with me. I guess it will be always be me, I'll always find fault in every company I'll ever be into.

I really thank God for giving me the opportunity to be accepted in this job. I mean, this is THE dream job. Being in-charge of a big project, handling marketing on my own at my own pace, basically being able to make decisions on my own. I'm practically handling the operation of the company, plus my boss trusts me (though he finds it hard to be vocal about it).

Just that, my boss is THE hell boss. The kind of superior you only find in your worst nightmare. Get this: his sentence is never complete without his variety of obscenities; his voice is always one pitch higher than a shout; he give instructions one hour before I'm off and expects me to be able to submit it the next morning, assumes that I'll be willing to come in to work during weekends, calls me at 2AM in the morning and shouts at me the next day for not answering; won't give a raise; and this list will go on and on that this space won't just be enough so I'll stop adding more.

There. But the job has its perks of course. I love my job and I love the people I'm working with. Really. I love them though we just met, and I'm more comfortable with them than with those I worked with in my previous job.

But can the dream job really be a dream job if its not perfect? If there's something (or someone) who's keeping you from enjoying it thoroughly?

So now, I'm back to editing my resume, re-conditioning my mind so I can recall how to answer good in an interview, and yes, saving my last pennies till the day I'll find a job again..=(
