Moody Monday........................
| Ever fall "out of love?".. No no dear friends, I'm not talking the lovely wife. I'd kill and or die for her without a blink. I mean my job. After almost 18 years, building a career in this company, I find myself in an odd spot. I'm not sure if I no longer "love what I do", or just "disenfranchised" with whom I do it for... Some days, I just want to run away, me and the family........screw the world and live off the land. Other days I remember, a paycheck and electricity is a handy tool. In 18 years....the company has changed so much in some ways...and so little in other ways. I guess the same can be said of myself and my co-workers. I can't really afford to quit, can't really walk in happy......I'm at a crossroads.. I do know that it's a different company now.....and somehow, not the family I married into. My job and I need some serious therapy, lest we end up in divorce court... Any of you ever been at this "fork in the road" place? |

post a commentI think we all come to the same place at some point in our lives. As we mature priorities change.
I used to work in my job purely because of the good salary but became disenchanted with it about 2 years ago.
Problem is now I don't know what I want to do but I want to do something I will be happy in. Oh, and lets not forget I need the money!
So I fully understand you predicament, I'm just not sure what advice to give. :)
I reached that point too. I was out of work for 12 months, not having a clue what I wanted, and have just taken a job purely for the paycheck. I know it's not going to make me happy, but like Suze, I'm not sure what I want anymore.
