[nagdu] Stressed dog?

[Star Gazer]

			Why wait until the end of the year to quit? Why not
quit now? 
Things you can do to help you is look for a different job (if you plan to
keep working) or plan a trip somewhere, even if you don't take it, or don't
take it for some time. Both will give you something to look forward to.

Subject: [nagdu] Stressed dog?

Hi, everyone,
I wrote here a couple of weeks ago about my workplace and its rotten egg
smell. Basically ever since then, I've noticed Jenny has ben so stressed in
general, even though the smell is gone.  I've written before how ecstatic
Jenny is to leave the building at the end of the day, and her peculiar
reluctance to find the door to find the door to get inside (Jenny is
normally a door-finding superhero). Whether she's picking up on my work
stress, finds the lack of sunshine or places to walk boring, or there's
something wrong with the building itself, I can't tell in particular. But I
notice that her guide work seems to have a pattern to it. From Friday to
Sunday, her work has a steady pattern of gradually improving, with Sundays
being by far the best day. Mondays can go either way. Tuesday to Friday,
particularly the afternoons, she just seems to be on a HUGE distraction
kick. Mornings, she is nearly flawless in her work. So for whatever reason -
boredom, stress (hers or mine or both) or some problem with the office
building itself - I firmly believe that my job is detrimental to my dog,
myself, and our partnership.

Unrelated to this, though, I have made a decision to leave my job at the end
of the year. I am unable to handle the stress of my office dynamics, the
unwillingness of my employer to be supportive of my desire to be autonomous
and productive, and the complete isolation in office location. All of these
elements have combined to make work an incredibly miserable experience.

Any pointers on things to do to ride this out? I've tried to give Jenny
things to do during the day, but that doesn't seem to help much.

Thanks for any input.

Daryl
