Frustrated

My job really frustrates me. I don't think my potential is even in the same building while I'm here. For years, I wanted to lead a job. I believe that is where my strengths would shine. I like working with people, organizing, solving problems. I hate the finite details and doing the same thing over and over again. And each time I am close to my wish, something happens that screws it up. For example, I was selected as a lead for a project. A different project develops and it happens that I've worked with this client before and he wants me back. Pulled off the other project, replaced with someone else, and now I'm still waiting on the other job. It may never materialize and I'll be working for the person who replaced me.

I know I shouldn't care. Quite frankly, I have enough on my plate without all the responsibilities here at work, but I do care. It does bother me. I feel useless, and totally unmotivated.
