Today marked the day that I have been in my job for TWO years! On 2 May 2006, I started work and have been there ever since. I guess in a way, it's kind of a big thing - for me anyways, seeing as Generation Y-ers are known to be job-hoppers. I dunno, I guess I am fairly happy at work - though there are a few issues that could be improved, the rest of it is pretty alright.
Recently however, I started to give a lot more thought to the things that I wasn't happy with and this in turn had caused me to really wonder whether I should start looking for another job, higher pay, better conditions, better career opportunities - that kind of thing. I started to think - Man, I could be earning so much more money working somewhere else... I would probably be able to do more OT-relevant work... Other places will see that I have a bit of experience and will be more likely to hire me... and a few other things. It took me about a week to realise that I was being really discontent (once again!) and not to mention - quite proud as well. It's scary just how easy it is to fall into this trap.
At about the same time, I started to count my blessings and fix my eyes back on the cross. The words of this song give me comfort now as I think about them
This world is not my home I'm just passing throughSo I just want to thank God for employment, for His blessings, for teaching me many life lessons through my experiences, for income, for friends at work, for the cool things that I have been able to see and do - but most of all to help me realise again the importance of contentment!
my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
the angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore
