Do you ever have days where you feel like, "another day another dollar" I've had several lately. It's as if the days meant nothing except you went to work and made some money. My mind is racing with questions. What am I doing? Where do I want to be in 5 years? Is what I'm currently doing valid? Generic questions I'm sure everyone asks themselves throughout the years. A lot of my questions are related to professional. I haven't been happy in a long time. Part of my personality is if I believe in something, I put everything I have into it. This is how I felt about my job. Over the years what I put in I don't get back. Things have gotten so complicated. I remember the first week I started, I actually said to myself "I'll never want to leave this place, I could work here forever" now I roll my eyes at that thought. It brings me back to one of my 2007 goals, "let go of expectations of others, so you wont be disappointed" I've reached the point where it is now up to me to decide what to do. I vent to a few of my close friends who tell me, then do something about it, make the changes, look for another job, etc. It's not so easy. I wish it was cut and dry. When you have a family, it's not about YOU anymore, scarifices must be made. So I guess that is what I feel I'm doing, making sacrifices. I do think at a certain point if your unhappy, and can't fix the situations your in anymore, then yeah I suppose it's time to move on. My biggest question is, is it time to cut my losses and move on?
Adult life can be so complicated! We rush as children to grow up and have the freedom. Little do we know life is going to smack us in the face, and most times life sucks! It's the struggle to balance the sucky times and not let them get you down.
For all the people struggling, I'm right here with you.....
Merry Christmas 2012!

In my opinion it's about acepting what you want. We all have choices to make and we make the choices we want to make. On one side you say I want to quit my job but I have a family so I can't quit my job, so your family is a higher priority. Your making a choice that you freely make. So accept it is the right choice for you or at least the one you believe is right for you. there is no gurantee that the individual choices we face will all feel wonderful or not mean greater hardship even. But you make the choice for your long term happiness. If that long term happiness means you are happier becuase your family is more secure, more whatever it is still the right choice for you.
Life aint easy.....lol, but your in my thoughts D
Sacrifice is the word. You are making a sacrifice but sometimes you have to sacrifice in order to appreciate the better side of life. There are very few people out there who truely are in love with and are passionate their jobs. You would be doing very well if you even like you job, or at least the people you work with. I don't know if that makes you feel any better, it always helps to know you are not alone. I'm sure finding another job is on your mind and if the current job is that draining, then something good will come along. Think of it this way, you've paid your dues or at least close to it, something is bound to come your way but you have to keep your eyes open. I know it can happen for you. It's hard to know when is the right time but if you are patient, and I know you are, it will come.
