Some thoughts

I am all for people loving their job and enjoying it at the same time. From personal experience, I had a job that I absolutely HATED for about 18 months and it was the most miserable time of my life. That was my foray into the management world, another story for another time. I guess my point is, if you have chosen a career and enjoy it, then do just that. Enjoy what you have chosen to do for a living. Don't whine about how hard it is, how long the hours are, how underpaid you are, how the public perceives your job,etc. Remember: this is YOUR chosen career. YOU made the conscious decision to do this job knowing exactly all that it entailed. Nobody forced you to take the career path you did.Yet, you see it every day on the different social feeds and networks about appreciating someone at their job because it really is "thankless". Like most jobs, there is good and bad that come with it. I have been thanked by many people and conversely I feel that there are people out there that would bitch if they were hung with a new rope. You can't please everybody all of the time. So if your job is really that terrible and thankless, go do something else. Someone once told me "I was looking for a job when I found this one" and in essence that is very true. Life if too short to always be miserable about work. Follow me on Twitter, I promise I'm not always this pissy
