Work

This week I have felt confident that I am moving to a point of accepting the working life.  Days like today convince me otherwise.  Interviews were boring and recurring computer problems just plain annoying.  Something that many people would consider glamorous, traveling the country for work, is just frustrating.  I mean, I love being able to see my friends everyday. 

The hardest part of showing up for work everyday is that I lack motivation.  I have no bold career aspirations, which is what I think drives many young workers.  I'm also familyless, which I think is the other huge motivator for young professionals.  A wife and kids are two things that many men, including myself, would take great joy in providing for. 

Further complicating things is the fact that the companies we work for have making a ton of their money as their overall goal.    Money is not something I can commit countless hours to pursuing.  For me to spend these kind of hours working, I really need a better end goal.

Without motivation I think often of taking a job providing much lower pay but a much more relaxing lifestyle.  When the time comes for me to buckle down I have no problem doing so, but it really seems pointless right now to do all this work.   So, there's a lot more thought ahead of me on this topic...
