In Search of Fulfillment

May 27, 2013

Last Monday was my first day back at work after my second eye surgery. (Sounds like deja vu, doesn't it?) I swear that Sunday night I had butterflies out of this world and my sleep was restless and fitful. This is totally not good. I had a 3 day weekend and I am experiencing the same symptoms. This is NOT good. I've been working for this communications company for a year and 5 months.
The pay is good and with commission, I bring in good money. I love my co-workers. HOWEVER, the cubicle life is leaving me wanting so much more. The stress of the job almost isn't worth the money. My shift sucks (although I can't complain about that anymore since I do get a new one starting in exactly a month.) I have so much stress and anxiety before my shift starts. It usually passes once I get there, but it shouldn't be like that. I NEED AND CRAVE fulfillment in my job and life.

It's not just the job. I just need something different. I need to do something that makes me feel like I am doing something that matters....whether or not I get paid for it. It's time to re-examine the bar exam. For real. One more go at it. Outside of the state of Mississippi. I sat that dream on the shelf because it was taking too long. That wasn't fair to myself. Something has got to give.

Hey Kathryn! I love this layout. Your banner is too cute. I too am addicted to the creamy crack..HOLLA, lol! I'm here from the DWP blog party. Very nice to find you and here is my party post if you feel inclined to hop over >>> http://rxfitnesslady.com/diy-baby-pharmacy-a-medi... . I too struggle with attempting a job search. I LOVE my job bc it's quiet, I work seven nights then off 7, but the night shift and sleep pattern is starting to get on my nerves after 7 long years of doing it. We shall see. Anywho, I have my fitness stuff and now blogging that ignites and fulfills my passion so I understand. Good luck with making future decisions and congratulations on the new schedule, that's something to look forward to. GO FOR IT with the bar my dear.

Thank you for that mid-week motivation and mood booster. Thanks for the visit!
I know exactly how you feel Kathryn. I really do. Even though I work from home my job has been anxiety filled lately-- and yes I work in a virtual call center too. I have to be reminded that so many people don't have jobs and that I should be thankful for what I have.. and I do. But things will get better.

First - so glad you're back at work after your second surgery! As the other ladies have stated, I can so relate to the anxiety, stress and want for more. You're a pretty savvy diva! Sometimes we have to step out on faith and claim what we want and believe is for us. Life is too short to be feeling "stuck" is my belief.

Thank you for your support and participation in my first Bloggers' Party over at Divas With A Purpose! So glad we've had a chance to connect via the blogosphere! Enjoy your weekend, Diva!
