This is a general work related post.
It's amazing the effort we put into our careers when that is all that is going on. I have to say I could work a lot more hours but for what? Last week in NJ a superior was speaking to tons of hours on whatever, to get it done. Then there are people that work till 530 and have completed all they can do and go home. And those people are successful in their careers too..." There was more to this conversation but what stuck with me is the second point. The older I get the more and more I am trying to figure out what is important to me in a career. What are my personal goals to being in the right situation (maybe not right position, but right situation). How do these goals align with my decisions I make at work and the decisions I make at home? Work can get mighty stressful trying to juggle an endless number of tasks while all trying to make a name for myself. And I think even harder is time away and time off. How to use your time away, if it be weekends, week nights, whatever, to make yourself personally happy. How you use your time off (vacations, etc.) to again make yourself personally happy. With this time you expect to fulfill the feeling you expect to receive from being away from work. Vacations have been said to be a a great booster for employees. Employees come back rested and rejuvinated and as a result are more productive at work. I suppose it's hard living with the idea of working for the rest of my life (minus the period in my life where I have children). We all deal with this inevitable situation. I guess frustration sets in. I'm not completely sure what I'm getting at here expect the my work has been controlling my life for a while. I mean I still take my lunches and go home at night but dreaming about work and the non-stop talking about work when I'm not at work is exhausting! And I think the frustrating part to is that I enjoy my job! So the reality is I'm like everyone else, just with a blog to complain on. What then do I have for the masses? Nothing. Nothing to conclude other than I'm sick of dreaming about work, serious relaxation is needed. If I could clone me, that still wouldn't be enough people to finish everything demanded. And at the end of the day, it will get done somehow. So I hope with my thoughts here I can relieve a little tension and leave more room in my night for dreams about sunsets and gorgeous men. Girls can be very easy to please, if it's the right situation... Hahahaha.
Night everyone.
