My job...

Anyone else ever get to feeling like there is no possible way you'll make it to retirement in your current job? I am feeling that way right now! It is thoroughly depressing when I think of all the stuff I would love to try but I just couldn't because I can't give up the stability that my job provides. I am getting SO burnt out. Ugh... 20 more years. I was refreshed and happy at the beginning of the week and it is only Wednesday and I am living for the weekend. I need to do something that allows me to be more creative! I tell myself that it is just this time of year and I always feel this way during the long haul between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is just part of my personality to become discontented with things after a while. I get bored easily. Any words of wisdom?

Well, if there's ever going to be a perfect time in your life to change careers, now's the time to do it.

Guess you better figure out just what career you want to move out in to. You're so creative (Thank your Daddy for that.)And you do have that new camera. Mabye a few camera classes & a sign over a door somewhere. Sound like more fun that screaming kids.

Anyone else out there got any ideas at what Heather would be good at?

Oh - If all else fails,you can have that grill job at the lake as long as you need it.

I love you.

Thank you, Mama. I can think of several things I would like to try but there's insurance, retirement, job security. I mean, look at the economy and unemployment right now. I feel like I should just be thankful I have a job and shut up whining about it.

On a brighter note, I am SO excited about Lost coming back on and I will definitely have to re-watch Season 4 because I can't remember jack either.

Ya'll are not alone, I just started rewatching season 4 too and I can't wait for season 5!!! Oh, and Heather, I also get burned out crunching numbers and looking at excel spreadsheets all day at my job, but like you I feel like I should shut up and be thankful I have a job with benefits. I have so enjoyed yoga this semester, if I could do anything, I would go become a yoga master and open a studio, although the last yoga studio in Shelby went out of business last year, so that's not going to happen. I'd also like to bake cookies for a living.

Carmen's Cookies has a nice ring to it.
