Waiting Casually

OK. I know that in the last post I alluded to some potential job dissatisfaction and I just want to clear things up. As much for myself as for any of you.

You see, up until last night, I was feeling kinda down on my job. Not the company I work for, but for my job and my place in the company. I was been feeling under-appreciated and somewhat unable to drive any change in the organization. Then I read entries I wrote in a separate blog I used to maintain. It was a secret blog that I never mentioned in any post here, but that is still out there and chronicles the day-to-day drudgery and pain I experienced in a prior role in the company. It spans about a six month period and the highlights include some of the absolute lowlights of my work life so far. It was a depressing work environment and let’s leave it at that.

So anyway, in resurrecting this blog, I also ended up reading over my posts there and that really put my head in a better place. It’s funny because I don’t peg myself as a rose-tinted kinda guy, but I really must be because when I thought back of that time before that re-read that blog, I remembered that work was bad but certainly not as bad as I made it out to be at the time.

So the upshot of all that is that I received a nice big shot of perspective and am now feeling a lot better about where I am now. Not a bad way to go into the weekend.

Hope you enjoy yours!
