I am feeling uber uninspired. I don’t know if it’s because work is slow this week, and I took Tuesday off for some interviews (went well), but I am just like eh. I also keep thinking it’s Monday, hence this post’s title.
And January is kinda an eh month, in general.
I was reading Body + Soul magazine at lunch yesterday (we get it here at the office for some reason), and there was an article about being stuck in a job you don’t like during tough economical times- i.e. me and i.e. now/the past 18 months. It said to work on your resume, explore creativities (is this a word? haha), be an entrepreneur… I am def doing that with La vie…J’aime, which I love, and this blog is a great outlet for me.
The article starts out with this quote from Confucius, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Thanks C- if only it were so easy!
The author interviews someone who is stuck in a job, and she said something that completely rang true for me, “I can’t even say I am good at what I do anymore because I am so lackluster and blah.” I couldn’t help but think- this is me. I don’t want it to be me! I am ambitious and a perfectionist and want to do my job well! Why is it that I’m stuck in this professional rut?
I know I’ve complained about my job before (and often, sorry). To perk myself up a bit, I am thinking of the coming weekend (Monday off and my friend from Syracuse is visiting) and making a donation to the earthquake relief in Haiti. This disaster really puts things in perspective, despite how much I think my life “sucks” at times.
More inspiring posts at La vie…J’aime will come your way soon.
Til then, bear with me, please š
