I read an article in my local Sunday paper that talked about why folks should learn to be happy in the job they have.  This article mentions how shaky our economy is and reminds readers that while you may have some things you don’t like about the job you have . . . .at least be thankful you have a job.

I have slowly been trying to warm up to that concept long before I read this article, but it has been hard.  I no longer have joy in my job.  I have been made to feel devalued despite the long hours and hard work I have put into this job.  I truly believe an effort was made to make me feel unwelcome to the point that I would quit.  However, when I refused to give in to those efforts . . .it seems the pressure was eased a little. that while they may not want me. . .for now they need me.

So, considering the current uncertain times, I am trying to taste the lemonade in a job that has managed to make me pucker up to the bitter taste of lemon.  So what things can I be thankful for in terms of this job?

• I have a job (and it pays enough to pay the rent)
• I work with some really nice people
• I can use the time to educate myself on financial matters for free
• I am helping my clients each and everyday I come to work
• I get to go to CA next week

Those reasons are enough to make me get up and get dressed everyday this week.  Who knows, If I try hard enough I may find that I can get over this “I don’t like my job hump.”
