The daily grind at work has not been all that satisfying lately. I suppose the repetition has begun to wear on my the way Vann long ago said it would. I try to add a little creativity into each demo. That’s usually enough to keep my engaged. But now I’m doing some scripted presentations which take all the fun out of things. If I don’t find a way to jazz these up I believe I’ll quickly go nuts.
The road trips I’ve taken seem like the best parts now. I love the unknown territory each one presents. There’s no doubt that exploring is a big part of my personality. I value the new friendships I’ve made on each trip, as well as the skills I take from every one. If it weren’t for the extended time away from my wonderful family, I’d be happy with the traveling.
I suppose I’ll have to be more creative in how I do my job, so that I can focus on those fun things that made it so thrilling at the start. My job satisfaction is largely up to me.
