Do You Hate Your Job? May God Bless You
It occurred on Monday. Sometimes I escaped the unpleasant ritual. But most often, just before boarding I threw in the ladies room of the station. This is not the commute I hated. It was work. The reasons are not why a job I once enjoyed turned into a job I did not. It happens. Bosses change, companies change, priorities change, budgets change, responsibilities change. Some changes the individual growth and opportunity. Some don’t. What is important is the lesson learned that stayed with me the rest of my career: a job is not just a job. That job I hated helped my checking account.
When we started keeping tropical fish - we had a major disaster that destroys the whole tank. It was particularly horrible situation that we could have avoided but I did not regarded as “our fault”. We had spent a long weekend and yes, you guessed it, the thermostat on the tank water heater broke, the water temperature soared - aquarium has followed the extinction, my family and I were in tears upon our return.
