Back To Work
So, I made it back to work today after a week off. I’ve decided I don’t like work.
I like the people that work around me, and I like my projects. I just don’t like the people who work those projects with me on a regular basis. The particular reasons are different per person, but it all comes back to them being uncomfortable with me. I understand it. I mean, I’m just notably younger them, and I’m carrying the title “architect”. I do the task assignments – never mind I ask people about what they want during our meetings. But, traditionally speaking, they should be in my position – not the other way around.
Plus, I’m not really helping anyone in the broad Christian sense of “someone” or “my neighbor”. I’ve really had a burden on my heart lately to do something more in that line.
And I don’t feel like I’m really growing in my field. I feel like I’m just becoming an expert on the projects I work. I’d like to be using and learning more about the new stuff than getting stuck with only the old stuff. As it is, I feel discouraged about seeking out “new stuff” and leveraging it. There’s so much legal crap in order to get to use it anyways.
So… I dunno. Kinda sucks. Just got to stay focused so that I can get the job done while I figure out what to do next, adjust to the new baby, and finish up school.
Spencer: The hell you aren’t witnessing, man. You witness in how you handle the people you work with, the situations you enter into, the decisions you make, etc. I can tell you, without asking, who among my co-workers is a believer and is not, just from my experience with them.
This isn’t to say that you might not need to re-evaluate your career, but if your concern is whether you image Christ for others … well, you do.
