Welcome to the reboot of unfrazzled analyst.  I originally started this blog in August 2012 and after a year, I felt de-motivated to continue blogging on this site in its current form.  I constantly have ideas swimming in my head, and the primary reason I started this blog was to sort out my thoughts on the workplace issues I face everyday, but in a fun way.  Sometimes my blog posts strayed from this theme and after awhile, I saw this blog as a jumbled mess. So, with that in mind, I’m starting over.  I may re-write and re-post some of my earlier articles that are directly applicable to the current theme… but I have a wealth of never before seen material to post here as well.

What can you expect to read on this blog? Well, I seem to have a knack for landing jobs in dysfunctional organizations.  Often times when I tell my friends about things that happened at work, they think I’m intentionally being funny and making up fantastical stories about incompetence on purpose.  Although I do consider myself a storyteller, I don’t know that I could dream up some of the incidents I’ve encountered over the years.

In order to cope with the stress of my job and also to keep some of the more interesting stories of my working years alive (some of this stuff may work its way into my fiction writing), I am using this blog to breathe humor into my situation as well as keep myself motivated to write.

The title of my blog, unfrazzled analyst, refers to my job title.  I have been some type of analyst for over 7 years now in fast-paced environments with multiple deadlines. Yes, being an analyst can be stressful and I have found myself frazzled at times.  Although this isn’t a real word, blogging about the funnier aspects of workplace insanity helps with not being frazzled – i.e. unfrazzled.

I’m sure most of you out there, no matter what your job title might be, are probably experiencing some level of job stress and can relate to my experiences.  Perhaps some of my stories can help you laugh at some of the stressful situations you are facing at work.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to start a conversation on the blog.
