Worker Bee

[savage25]

Is it wrong of me to sometimes just want to be a "worker bee" and not a leader or anything? Sometimes I really just wish I could sit back in my cube and have tasks assigned to me to do. This whole "be a leader: manage yourself and your workload" thing really drains me, and, honestly, I'm not that good at it. I've been telling myself (and my bosses) for the past couple years that one of my goals is to improve my project management skills and to set better commitments for my work. But, to be completely honest, I have no desire to do that. It seems all-to-often anymore that I set commitments only to have them pushed-back due to other work that comes in, or because I procrastinate because that's the type of person I am.

*sigh*

I know that being a "worker bee" isn't the way to "climb the corporate ladder" and "make the big bucks"... but I think my skills can hold their own... without me being more of a leader.

Days like this I realize why I don't really want to own my own company, even if it is a "dream" of mine to do.
