While bored during my shift, for lack of better things to do, i write... especially when im feeling something really strongly... so here they are:
April 20
I read an article in yahoo about the 4 ways to turn a bad job good. According to Penelope Trunk, the 4 ways to make a bad job good are:
1) make a friend at work
2) decrease your commute time by moving closer to work
3) know when it's not about your job
4) do good deeds
I liked what she said in the end: "But most importantly, stop looking for your work to give your life meaning. The meaning of life is in your relationships. Cultivate them. A good job is a nice thing to have, but only in the context of larger meaning."
That was exactly what i thought too... i mean coming back to work and all that...
When i left less than a year ago, I thought that i was heading for a diff. kind of life... but unexpectedly, I need to be back here... for money... for time... for a lot of things BUT the fact that it's a personal choice.
So I'm here... and i told myself, 'hey no need to be sooo idealistic right?'
I mean i can work here and not have it define my personality right? I'll work here bec it's a means to an end... it's away for me to achieve my dreams and it's decent work...
So im here anyway...
"But most importantly, stop looking for your work to give your life meaning. The meaning of life is in your relationships. Cultivate them. A good job is a nice thing to have, but only in the context of larger meaning."
-> this must be true. and i've been an idiot. :-/
i've been so absorbed with work, i'm letting it define who i am. -sighs-
anyway, i'm tired. been tired for quite a while. tired and sick.
btw... gurlfrendz... i need to tell you something important tomorrow. well it isn't really important. pero i still need to tell you. 'yun lang.
