my life is being gobbled up by my job i'm fortunate and got a job at my top choice company after graduating and could realistically see myself there for at least 10 years but jobs shouldn't take up who you are. i miss getting out at 5/6 because then i was reading more books, learning new things and had more of a chance to stay in touch with friends. don't you have a hobby you can't do anymore because of your crazy hours? i know i'm sacrificing a bunch of stuff...primarily sleep.

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

yeah after doing a lot of contemplating what has happened to me the past couple of months, some things in my life have changed here and there. however, i have learned that change is a part of my life, and i just have to accept it at times( not all the time ). hah. i still haven't figured out a way to fit in gym time since i've been working a bit more than the usual. eventually i will allocate the time. go back to reading, gym time, hitting random places, and going back to grad school.

but i am also lucky to work at a kick ass job where the job is great, i am doing what i love to do, the co-workers are pretty cool, and i can actually enjoy what i am doing without the "proverbial" middle management mumbo jumbo rabbling around the offices.

as for my place whether i think i would be working at the company like you think you are (10 years), i say a 10-15% chance i will. haha! i see myself as a crafty gardener who plants seeds, rather than the oak tree. just my 2 cents. yeah the seeds can be weak, and be temporary fruits, vegetables, or tree. however, i think i am happier to help whomever to succeed in whatever venture they want to achieve.

It feels so good when you can wake up and look forward to going to work, especially when your boss is a down to earth kind of dude and the majority of the co-workers are cool to be around with. This is the second job out of the 5 that I've had that I actually like. It's hard to find a job/career that you thoroughly enjoy and comes with good pay & benefits. I would definitely hold on to that job till you're done with grad school and can either move up in the company as an exec or find a better paying position. "Rewards come to those who are patient"

4 out of 5 days i've been looking forward to going,
but there has to be one god awful drama filled day...
