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 enjoy my work with technology and customers. I like working in the medical area b/c it's dynamic and intrinsically valuable to society and all that. It pays a fair wage but it could always stand improvement ;). And I need to contribute to the household. And, I've done heavy travel jobs before which this one is not (Sucked!), it has a very manageable travel load.
But, I have never been thrilled on a Monday (today included). I don't think I ever will be. Yet, I am the type who needs to go and be involved outside of the house.
I guess I want it both ways, sometimes. That's my biggest problem. But, ultimately, I want to build a future, etc. And, as we've discussed, we're all in charge of that, ourselves (despite the illusionary "cash" we're socking away through SS). grr.
