Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a job that doesn’t take a lot of effort on your part, yet is a good resume-builder and pays an acceptable salary? Wouldn’t it be even more wonderful if everyone at your company thought you were just the best employee they had ever seen, and the organization would be lost without you?
That’s my job. Though it sounds great, it’s actually getting rather tiresome. I work 40 hours a week doing a job that could probably be accomplished in 20 hours, yet the powers that be at my company are somehow under the illusion that I work very, very hard (this is probably because of a few very public accomplishments I have had recently). You could say that I should look for more ways to expand my job, but much of what I do depends on other people feeding me information, and there’s only so much calling, e-mailing and general harassing I can do.
Perhaps I could look for a new job. Except, I plan to be self-employed as a freelance writer once (if?) I have a child. So, there’s no point in giving up halfway decent benefits and a cushy job simply because I need to challenge myself more. I just have to suck it up and learn to live with a job that bores me most of the time.

Hi Ann,
Welcome...
I understand where you are coming fom 100%. When reading your enries I feel like I am reading about me.
We are here to support you through your journey, so feel free to lean.
(And fear no the injectibles... I actually had way less side effects than with Clomid, the evil drug.)
Welcome to the blogosphere, Ann! I stayed in a job that I didn't love for years due to (1) treatment coverage and (2) flexibility. I knew if I switched jobs there would simply be different stresses. Sigh. It's interesting to see the ripple effect of IF on your life. Hang in there.
Oh--wanted to let you know that I added you under female factor :-)
HI Ann,

Hi there -
I can TOTALLY relate to the one-track mind syndrome. That was actually the catalyst that led me to start a blog.....my husband can only take so much of my obsessive talking about infertility. I have wonderful and supportive friends, but not only are they tired of me being a broken record, they just can't relate the way that others in this blogland can, having been through very similar emotional (if not physical) experiences.
Anyway, welcome!
K
