Today is my first day of vacation! Yipee! Nothing better than waking up when I'm ready. There's something said for that isn't there? Next up, working out, taking a nice long bath with a good book and just having free, lazy time! I'm taking a day off here and there to use up some vacation time. What better time to use it then now - did I mention the company where I work is being bought out/acquired by a large conglomerate? No stress there. B is in graduate school full-time so I'm the only full-time paycheck for the family. SO, obviously having a good job is really important to me right now. The question of "What to Do?" is around my net steps career-wise.
I really love the company I work for; my co-workers keep me coming back for more. I just celebrated my 5 year anniversary too. Sadly, that's all changing in the very near future. I don't know if I will have a job, let alone a job I want. Do I really want to work for the 'new' company at all? A co-worker made a very smart comment a few months back, "We should stop worrying about whether or not we have jobs. Instead we should worry about whether or not we want to work for the company."
I don't think I do. To quote Diane Keaton in Baby Boom, "I think the rat race could use one less rat." Maybe I choose a job just for the sake of the job, not where it could take me. Maybe I try telecommuting instead of rush hour traffic day in and day out. Maybe I focus more on our personal lives instead of my stress at work.
These are the questions 'o the day - I think I'll go make some granola. I always think better when I bake....
