For some strange reason I have always felt the need to write. I feel I can really express myself, my thoughts and emotions best in writing. I am a 45 year old mother of two teenage boys. I work part-time and go to school full time as a psychology major. I have studied also, all different religions and religious philiosophies and just wanted somewhere to share my ideas. I don't know if anyone will respond or read these blogs but I thought I would give it a try.
I'm not even really sure how people will find or read my blog but who knows. My first thoughts are on being stuck working at a job that you really don't find fulfilling only to earn a living. I work for an export company. We export steel and industrial spare parts to Brazil. My official title is Purchaser/Office manager. I am really a jack of all trades and do a little bit of everything. I have worked here for two and a half years. It is a small family owned business and we too are like a little family, which at times can be unnerving.
I have been working in different office positions for over 20 years and have always found it easy but quite boring. This is why I have gone back to school to one day, after my kids leave the nest, be able to do something that actually interests me. But until then and up until now it has been all about family financial support. Making money to get the kids what they need. I have not totally minded this position but how does one keep going after years and years of this tedious existense? That is my question to you. How does one remain focused, positive and fulfilled in an unfulfilling and tedious job?
