Work

[cjsmith]

How many people here look forward to going to work in the morning? How many people say to themselves "That was a wonderful weekend, and I'm glad I get to go to work on Monday" or "Wow, I can't believe they pay me to [fitb]; I'd do it just for the fun of it" or "The people at my company are great and I'm glad I get to see them every day"?

I know there are people who are glad to have their jobs, or who feel grateful that their skillset happens to be lucrative, or who enjoy some aspects of their jobs but not others. I also know that there are people who basically hate their job, their coworkers, the activity, the salary, the hours, every bit of it. What I haven't seen is anyone who loves every bit of it.

I know my friends list. Y'all can be a contrary bunch. If I say I haven't seen FOO, several people will respond that they personify FOO. I wanna know who you are. Then I'll ask you how you got that happy.

I love my job. The novelty still hasn't worn off, it's interesting, it pays well, the people are professional and nice and seem honestly glad to have me there, and I feel certain areas of expertise I've developed through the years being actually USED -- and PAID FOR -- and APPRECIATED. It's great.

And every morning, I think to myself, "Oh GOD. Do I HAVE to go to work today? Again???? Didn't I just do that?"

Except for the weekends. The weekends I think "Il-hamdullilah, I don't have to go to work!!"

So, dear, how do you like YOUR new job?
