Forced Labor.

Recently I've been on this conceptual fence about how I feel about work. First off, don't get me wrong. I feel very fortunate to even have a job. I know how hard it is to get a job, let alone a job that is fun most of the time.

Even so, I can't help but feel dissatisfied sometimes. There's that statistic that once you are a job for two years, you get really sick of it. Maybe my two year mark is approaching me at an increased rate. Basically the gist of it is that I don't feel impactful. I want to make an impact, but I feel like I'm not right now.

My new boss once asked me what I wanted. I couldn't answer him at the time. I don't know. I have a lot of theories about this. I think I've learned about what motivates me in the last six months. I realize what is important to me.

Job and career has somehow sunk down to a position that is for sure not number one. Where it stands I'm not so clear on. Even so, I find myself with renewed energy for my project these days. It's still slow coming, but I think I got my second wind. Once again, I have a lot of theories about this one.

In closing, forced labor is not all it's cracked up to. Especially forced blog entries.

And note to self, this month has been spectacular. Never forget May 2007.
