I Like My Job…

March 6, 2006 · Filed Under general

As I mentioned a week ago, I was out of town for 3 days. It’s always nice to get out of the office, and getting out of the house on the company dime ain’t too bad either…
However, I am most certainly a creature of habit. I thrive on the routine of day-to-day life. I’ve taken enough personality assessments/instruments (Myers-Briggs, Kirton-Adaptive, etc…) to know that my personality definitely trends towards the introverted, introspective, as well as the aforementioned affinity for routine.

Thus, I was quite happy to get back home last Friday evening.

And, more to the point of this post’s title, I was happy to get back to work this morning.

Even though I had quite a bit of catching up to do, and there are always the little things that annoy throughout the day; however, as I drove home this evening, I was struck by the strong sensation that I really like my job. I like what I’m doing, the folks I work with, and the place I work at. Not that everything (or everyone :wink:) is perfect, mind you — there are always things that could be better/nicer/easier (and I would include myself in that assessment… :eek:).

But even in light of that, I’m still far more fortunate than I deserve — I’ve been well & truly blessed — and for that I’m thankful. I’m also thankful that I’ve been able to learn about the doctrine of vocation — it’s truly cool to understand how God intends our daily work to benefit our neighbors, and how their work benefits us.

Well, that’s enough navel-gazing for now — I need to play a little Civ4 before putting the kids to bed & watching The Apprentice…
