[Ted] is bored with work.

So, what’s with talking about work while not at work? Doesn’t work take up enough of your life without talking about it when you’re not there. I don't hate my work but sometimes being a teacher really eats me up! There is too many unnecessary errands are at hands!

I honestly don’t think that there is any job or work, at least in a college student’s life, that is enjoyable. I'll be a lecturer by next year, even that seems to be quite hard I guess. Right now, I’m at work in a nice office with nice cubicle of my own. Even though the office is nice and what I do isn’t all that boring, I still write in my blog. It might be the fact that I have to stay from 8.30 to 2.00 (makes me feel like I’m in 2nd grade or something) that makes me want to vomit sometimes.

I think the way we think about and do work is interesting. Some folks will do whatever they can to avoid work (probably doing more in the avoiding than if they did the working). Some folks work too much and forget to take time for themselves or their families. Some folks are defined by their work.

I work because I need to because I get these things called bills every month. When I say work I mean paid work. There are even multiple definitions for work and I just realized that as I was typing that we might not be on the same page just by me saying work.

I like to be busy. I don’t like sitting around so I try to find stuff to be involved in. I would like to be involved in stuff all the time but not necessarily working all the time. That may not make sense. Let me explain. I have had an odd collection of paid jobs through the years and only 3 of them were positions that I really enjoyed what I was doing. Going to work wasn’t like work because what I did was interesting or fun or I felt like I was contributing to the greater good of society.

Since I don’t know who is reading this I will not elaborate on which 3 jobs I have had that I am talking about. Past and current employers can all think I am talking about their job this way.

Peace!

Maybe I’m just a slacker.
