When I Came To The Conclusion I No Longer Like My Job

I recently started asking myself a few questions when I found I no longer enjoyed my job. Why do I work, and more importantly why do I work a job that I don’t like? Life seems too short and I figure it’s high time I go find myself a new vocation. Of course what logically follows from that is an inquisition as to what new career path I would enjoy following.

First I figured I should think why I work. People work hard all year long looking forward to when they can wake up to the sound of their cheerful children shaking presents under the {christmas wreath}. That’s the image that get’s me out of bed in the morning. The world of business is stressful and people work hard with nothing but a paycheck to look forward to.

Next I thought about activities I enjoy. I like fishing! I could be a fisherman? No that doesn’t sound as fun as the fishing I do. Then I thought that I like coaching my son’s football team. I suppose I could be a school teacher. I actually probably would like that, but the idea of going back to school for two more years, at my age, just doesn’t seem worth it.

No I guess when I really think about it I’m stuck in my job for a few more years. Retirement is close enough that I really guess I can cope. My jobs not that bad anyway. It’s working my way up the corporate ladder that bothers me. That’s it, I’ll just stop playing! I’ll just stop working so hard. Stop bringing work home with me, and stop checking my email before bed. My boss can’t can me. Even if he did my severance package would take me well into retirement.
Maybe this year I’ll just slack off, hang a decorated christmas wreath with the kids, and make some real memories. Now I have something major to think about. A merry Christmas, and a new years resolution to do less work. That’s one I may actually keep.
