…Sitting in a dark house with the radio humming quietly. There are cutaways frequently because the weather outside is frightful-not snow, but thunderstorms, high winds, tornados. I joked on Facebook about enjoying fresh guac and salsa for dinner and listening to the heavy rain beat against the house and how it made for a lovely summer evening-except it’s still January. I’ll take it, though. It’s broken up the boring dreary days of the new year quite nicely.
…I’m in sort of a work crisis at the moment. I dread getting up every single day to make the hour trek to a job that I’m not loving at the moment. Currently trying to motivate myself into loving it, or liking it more at least. I often feel as if I’m not being challenged enough yet not wanting to be challenged because what does it matter if I’m hating it anyway? Does that make any sense? I just feel like I need to be doing something else to be happier…but I don’t know what that something else is.
…bored. bored. bored. And, boring.
What are you doing to stay motivated and un-boring?
I can completely understand that. I hate hate HATE my day job. It's a soul sucking endeavor with a crap supervisor who has no people skills and our only interaction is him says "This place sucks" and me nodding.
It took me three years, but I weaseled my way into another industry, the one I really want to be in, and it's been nice. Busy, but nice. I highly recommend it.
#1 Ive missed visiting this space. Sorry I've been gone.
#2 I'm currently listening to Carole King "So Far Away" and the combination of the melancholy music/ lyrics and the familiarity of the song itself is (strangely. Ironically?)) smile making. Maybe you can find your song as well.
#3 On a totally different note: Your photography of the bottles two posts down is quite charming. That may sound weird but I love images like that.
#4 Give yourself permission to be in a career you love. You totally deserve it.
Hello, lovely! I've missed you, too. Isn't Carole King just the greatest?
soul-sucking endeavor. totally describes my situation. ha!
