This feels strange
Apr. 27th, 2006 09:55 amI had the realization this morning that all my talk about enjoying my job may not be nonsense.
Sometimes I wonder whether I'm bullshitting myself about it just to make it easier to be here, but lo and behold, today I caught myself thinking about some small writing assignments I want to bang out, and actually looked forward to doing them. And I know I suffer from an overdeveloped sense of responsibility, and a need for approval from my superiors, so that could play into it, but the prospect of doing what I'm paid to be here for is not leaving me resentful or grumbly, as has been the case in previous jobs.
Is it even possible to be content at work? I'm having a hard time comprehending this....
