2 Years

It's been a few days since my last blog. I've really had nothing to complain about; things have been pleasant. And I really don't want this blog to be only complaints. 

I had a great day yesterday. It was my two year anniversary at my job. I sat in on two interviews for an open position and was asked a very strange question by one of the candidates - what are the negative aspects of your job and of the company? I was totally thrown for a minute and then realized that while there are stressful times or days when I'm feeling more pressure than others, there isn't really anything I hate. I am very lucky! I told her that like any job there are days that are better than others, but overall it is a comfortable, encouraging environment with a great team of coworkers and supportive management staff. I also noted that it was not an easy question to answer as what may be negative to me may be something she doesn't see as an issue. 

My answer was truthful. I don't tolerate my job and do it for a paycheck; I really love it. I work with a very unique group of people who, while they have their quirks, are genuinely good people. Total personalities. And I honestly do not think there is anyone out there who laughs as much as I do at their job. I crack up daily and can't imagine it any other way.

I think the best part of my job is having a boss that encourages me to try, learn and grow. I feel valued and trusted and that makes me want to work harder and better. Nothing is more satisfying then a day when projects are completed with ease, we work in sync and have fun in the process. Most days I leave work with a smile on my face because I know I did a good job and had a fun time in the process. 

I may not have that fancy house or a high powered car, but I have something more valuable. I have a job that I really look forward to every morning where I get to do what I love with amazing people. Today I have a full, happy heart and can't wait to see what the next two years have in store for me.
