Rambles

I try not to complain about my job when there are so many people who do not have a job. But today, I am so frustrated. People are mad about things coming up they have absolutely no control over and taking it out on other people. This is resulting in other issues being blown out of proportion and being upset at other coworkers, who are simply trying to do their job. 

When I first started here, I was so excited to leave the bank. So. Excited. No more customer service (and the risk of getting robbed declined as well :) ). No more incentives in trying to open accounts. I enjoyed what I did here...and still to a certain extent do. I enjoy seeing what I order and spend a lot of my time trying to find the best price, etc., put together for the final product and I LOVE seeing it ship out the door for its intended use. 

But, let's be honest for 2.2 seconds, after the first few months, I was / am rarely challenged. God gave me this brain to use. I LOVE to think and solve problems (which is why I enjoy IT so much). I felt I was wasting my smarts on Facebook, Twitter, reading the news, etc. So, I started my MBA. It was SO good to be challenged. The first class totally kicked my butt and I've had to make up for it ever since, thankfully I'm where I need to be. I love learning about another country's culture, policies, even basic finance and accounting principles. I've become a better writer than I ever was in high school or college. A skill that will always benefit me. I used to hate writing and now? I love it. In fact, it got me an A in my last MBA class. 

Anyway, where did that all come from? Oh yeah, I rarely feel challenged. I get these urges to quit. Start my own business. DO SOMETHING WITH MY LIFE (insert the dramatics). I feel discouraged, I think. Like, why am I doing something I don't want to do? But I have to remind myself that even on these frustrating days, I am doing something with my life. Just because I'm not there yet, doesn't mean I will never get there. Just because I don't have my dream job, doesn't mean I will never get there. I just have to keep taking baby steps.
