Quarter Century Crisis?

Feb 07, 2006 23:35

Not my quarter century crisis, but somebody else at work. Yesterday one of my students came to my office and asked if I had a few minutes to chat. I said sure, and I thought he was going to ask some questions related to work. Well, in a way it was related, but not really. He asked me if this is where I pictured myself when I graduated.

Hi, Lee...

How have you been? I was just reading this at work.. and my thoughts.

I think any job is fun as long as you are learning something you are interested in. Once the job starts to get repetitious, and you are learning nothing out of it, then you don't feel your job is rewarding anymore.

I am sure when you started your carrer, you were excited everyday to go to work, weren't you? I felt that way for the first job and the second one too,, just that it got soo boring after. and I could not take it anymore. I had to move up for something better.

This is my third job, and I love it. It is not that I feel happy all the time.. but overall I feel I was lucky to get this job and to be with these people, although I do not feel people appreciate what I do. I felt people's appreciation more when I had the second job.

All people need to do is, find something interesting at work? or move onto a different job? If I have the opportunity, I want to get involved in marketing.. seems very interesting...

baba さん元気ですか? I agree~~ as long as the job stays interesting, things should be okay. Where are you working now? When are you going to come and visit us? :-D

Yeah I think it'd feel really rewarding to work on a project that my friends use. Maybe I should start contributing Linux or Firefox code :-P

I'll come to the movie night~~ Let me know the date :-)
