...overworked

I've been at my new job for 2+ months now and overall it's been a rewarding experience. Some days it feels like I've been there forever and others, I feel like i'm the new kid again. This keeps the work interesting and exciting but on the down side, it definitely enhances my insecurities.

For the first month of my job, it was a lot of stress, frustration and not knowing what the hell was going on. There was a complete lack of good management or any meaningful guidance which created an almost hellish environment. There were not too many late nights, but there was a copius amount of clueless/confused looks and just trying to get through the day without seeming completely retarded. The second month of my job was a drastic improvement from the first. I had a team to work with and people to share the stress and frustration with. I was also in a much better position to be learning and asking questions about how things should be done. Downside was that the workload was immense and the work hours were abysmal (70+ hour weeks). And as my friends know, I was pretty much MIA for that whole month.

Now as the 3rd month begins, I'm not completely sure what is going to happen. It seems like a lull in the workload but looks are always deceiving, especially at my company. Being on a very unexciting project, at least one I find very unexciting, is making me eye everyone else's projects with envy followed by sighs of disappointment. As you can imagine, it's not exactly the most driven or motivated attitude to be having.

UPDATE: I got more detail about my project: a general timeline (deadline) and a general feel for the expectations for the project. Still not feeling terribly positive about this project....
