Intuition

My intuition is better than I thought. A while ago at work, I felt strongly like my boss was hanging me out to dry with the Clients, and yesterday he proved me right, sadly. It's incredibly hard to work when all you can think about is how your Clients have no faith in you. That's the worst feeling ever. I wish someone had told me before, versus letting it get so bad with me thinking everything was okay. Now all the blame is pinned on me, despite the fact that the agency can't get their stuff together, we are understaffed, and I don't have the clout to make anyone do anything because I'm the most junior person on our account. It blows, frankly...and I think I've had enough...

I have to learn to trust my intuition more. I used to think that I wasn't a very good judge of character, but it turns out, I'm not so bad, my skills just needed to be improved over time. It runs in my family actually. My mom and sister are both exceptional judges of character.

On another note, my boss actually told me not to think of the people I work with as people. He told me to think of them as buttons on a soda machine, and myself as the person putting the money in and taking the soda out. I have to get people to do what I want so I can get the product I want...only they're not people they're buttons. Is that sick and sad, or is it just me...please enlighten me or I may never work in corporate america...or at least this industry ever again.
