Yesterday, I had a bad day at work. It just seemed that nothing was going my way. I was being a bit dramatic. I had to drive to the North part of town for a meeting - waaah! I have to change everything I've been working on for this project again as a result of that meeting - waaah! I had my own little pity party in my cubicle yesterday afternoon when I got back from the meeting. I considered changing careers.... to do something that would "help people".
Today, I woke up singing one of my favorite songs ever... Sister Hazel's "Change Your Mind". My favorite part: "If you've had enough of all your tryin', just give up the state of mind you're in."
So that's it, I've had enough of being dramatic about work. New day, new attitude. I am Thankful for my job that affords me the opportunities to do things that I enjoy - like photography and taking vacations with my husband. AND... I DO help people - just not in a traditional nurse/teacher/doctor sort of way. I'm a small link in a chain of people (very talented people) who get oil and gas out of the ground and to consumers. I'm proud to do my job. Do I love it all day, every day? No, but I wouldn't love any job all day, every day.
.... and it helps that, in addition to being off every weekend, I get every other Friday off. :)
That is a great mind set!
