My Job Now Makes Me Insane

crises intervention stress management 1 My Job Now Makes Me InsaneI recently started asking myself a few questions when I found I no longer enjoyed my job. I thought to myself why would I bother doing something that I don’t enjoy at my age? Life seems too short and I figure it’s high time I go find myself a new vocation. Of course what logically follows from that is an inquisition as to what new career path I would enjoy following.

First I figured I should think why I work. The picture I always have in my head when I’m slaving away is the thought of my kids gather happily around the {christmas wreath}. I know that’s what keeps me going. The business world is not a gentle nice place, nor is it fun, and when I start to think of it as a means to a bi-weekly check then I come to the conclusion that it just isn’t worthwhile.

Second, I figured I should think of stuff I do enjoy doing. I like fishing! I could be a fisherman?  No that doesn’t sound as fun as the fishing I do. Something else I like is helping with my daughters softball team. I suppose I could be a school teacher. That actually would be a good job apart from the drawback of going back to school.

No I guess when I really think about it I’m stuck in my job for a few more years. I’m close enough to retirement that I can taste it. I suppose I can cope for a few more years anyway. It’s working my way up the corporate ladder that bothers me. That’s  it, I’ll just stop playing! I’ll relax and let the world go by. Stop bringing work home with me, and stop checking my email before bed. My boss can’t can me. My severance package alone would take me past my planned retirement.
Now I can just sit back and slack, hang a decorated christmas wreath with the kids, and make some real memories. Well there that alone gives me a year to look forward to. While at work I can envision a nice relaxing holiday, and think of my new New Years resolution.
