I’m throwing the childhood scenes away, I’m through ripping myself off | Apr 18th 2008
Every morning I drive past an old woman hula-hooping in the median of the road.
I don’t know why, but I felt you all needed to know that.
I love my job. I really do. I think that’s important to note up front. I like the work I do. I like the type of work I’ll start being given in a few months even more. I like that I get to help people with their problems. I like my boss. I like my boss’s boss. I like my coworkers.
Things I don’t like? I don’t like how tired I’ve been all week. I don’t like having to put in 12 hour days because someone didn’t figure out the scheduling correctly. I don’t like that certain weeks I’ll be on call and can’t stray far from the office. I don’t like that I’ll be moved to another office, possibly in another state, in the next 2-3 years, and that I’ll probably spend 6 months overseas next year. It just complicates life on so many levels.
But today? Was great. I’m exhausted after a late night (out! not in the office!) but I love Fridays. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
I miss you, like, ninety hundred.

i know what you mean about liking the extraneous stuff…coworkers…boss…but how the job itself leaves something to be desired.
i’m exactly in that frame of mind right now.

1 - Thanks for the comment on Book Me In! Glad enjoyed “Shadow of the Wind” as well.
2 - I’m with you on the job category. I like my job. It’s fun. But sometimes I wish for more.
3 - I think if I saw an old woman hola hooping on my way to work everyday, i’m pretty sure my days would be a whole lot better!

It is hard to sometimes reconcile the good and the bad in our jobs sometimes. I do sometimes wish that my career path was a little tamer on the stress!

i would give anything to do 6mos. overseas right now. i need a change. not a huge one, but 6mos sounds just about right. while it might suck, at least know that there are jealous people out there : )
