Things I Want Out of a New Job, Part 2
• CHALLENGES!
I want to be engaged in what I'm doing. I want to problem solve, and to figure things out, and create solutions to stuff that's going on. I don't want impossible tasks, but things with in my realm of abilities....and training to expand my abilities and knowledges, so I can solve bigger and more complicated problems.
I do not want busy work.
And I understand that anywhere, in any job, there are going to be boring hum drum kind of days, and I can accept that. But not days on end. Not an endless repitition of button pushing. I don't want a situation where I can do my bare-minimum-best and still excel above and beyond the expectations of my superiors.
Because that's what's going on now.
I was told the other day that the number of covers I released this past Spring Work Season was double what anyone else in my department released. And that's just sad.
A busy mentally-engaged Michelle is a happy Michelle. And a happy Michelle doesn't get fat from snacking because she's so bored she wants to stab herself in the eye with a spork.
