Day Job

I think I have officially decided that the rigid 8-4:30, 9-5 (what-have-you) schedule is just not for me. Don't get me wrong, I love working hard, which is precicely why I cannot stand sitting at a job just to sit there because you're expected to be there for a certain amount of time. I am truly Bored of being Bored!

I think it's interesting to think about how society, or maybe it's just me, leads a person to believe that the ultimate career goal should be a steady 9-5 day job with a good paycheck. I do not agree, I agree with working hard to be able to support myself financially, but, steady 9-5...not for me, until it is truly work I am proud of and love to do every day. You may say I'm a dreamer, but, I'm not the only one.........

Lovely Day

Generation

Well, I put in my two week notice today at the City of Minneapolis. I will be embarking on a very exciting internship opportunity with the St. Paul/Ramsey County Department of Health, and working part time.

In the span of my "career" I have worked in law enforcement, social services and now business information technology....next step community health promotion! This makes me think of the statistic I heard about people in my generation, that we will change careers an average of 4 times in our lifetime. Well, this makes 4, I guess this is where I'll settle in....

This is where my life takes on a new path, and I am so excited to see where it takes me. I refuse to be discouraged by the economy and I only see good things ahead for myself.
