Tough day at work today. I almost cracked up in front of my supervisor. It took all my strength to keep myself together. I really, really, really would have liked to let myself go and tell her what I thought of my work environment and the management.

I would have liked to pour out all my frustration about the fact that after working for over a year my job is not going anywhere and I don't have a future. I would liked to tell her that I felt exploited and that the company was only interested in hiring cheap labor in my department and that the management sucked.

I would like to tell her that for months I have been feeling like one of those Japanese workers who are left alone in their offices with nothing to do so they can voluntarily quit their jobs. (In this way their managers don't have to deal with them.)

I would have liked to quit my job but I didn't because I cannot afford to lose it without having another one lined up.

Darn! I was so close!...
