Hump day

Feb 22, 2006 22:11

I seem to be living my life on a weekend to weekend basis. Especially lately I've been saying "I just can't wait till this week is over". I mean, yes, I definitely have something to look forward to but that doesn't mean that I can't enjoy my week as well. It's not a good attitude, after all the work week is five out of seven days. I guess I'm just really bored with doing what I'm doing at work. It's not terribly interesting to me. I miss the days when I actually tackled new problems instead of producing exhibits. It feels horribly stagnant and unfulfilling to me. There are a few options: change my perspective on work, find another job, do something outside of work that provides fulfillment. Maybe I'll do all three, but I have to do at least one or else my work days will be crappy. Or...there's the fourth option: win the lottery. Too bad it's not really under my control. To guarantee a win for the mega millions game, you'd have to spend over $175 million. If you had that much money, why waste it on the lottery unless the jackpot was $1 billion? I have thought about what I'd do if I won, but if I did what I planned then some people would know I won. The problem with that is people hoping to get money from me, and potentially people who will try to blackmail me or take someone I care for hostage. However, if I did win a lot of money, I would want to share it with the people I care for. Dilemmas, dilemmas...except it's all daydreaming, or maybe not. I almost feel like I'm not supposed to win it because then I would be robbed of opportunities to grow I would otherwise have had. Being rich can make things a lot easier, and growth does not come from the easy path most of the time. Well, whatever happens happens.
