Turn Up the Pep!

Apparently my biggest hurdle at work is that I'm not "peppy" or "enthusiastic" enough. I spend about 8 hours a day been dishonest to people, how can I be enthusiastic about that? I think everyone comes with an internal pep meter than can only be adjusted to a certain point in certain situations. Mine is already at it's max. This morning I was ready to quit my job and tell them where they can stuff it. This evening feel that I'm ready to take on the next 5 months with a martini in hand. What spurred the change? I'm not sure but at some point today during a unintentional lecture about my lack of pepp I realised how rediculous this all is. The enthusiasm. The pepp. The small talk. The fun, yet professional image. Pure rediculousness.

Do I feel good about lying to people all day for financial gain? No. Do I feel great that in a few weeks I'll be able to do my job even better? No way. Does it make me feel fabulous to know that while the people I work with have chosen this line of work as a career and I've chosen it as a desperate measure? Oh yeah.

I'm working on my resignation speech for December. It's going to be so great everyone will be overcome with a feeling they've never felt before. I'm bringing white chocolate oatmeal biscuits to work that day.

Turn up the pep just a notch!
