QUICK UPDATE!

Once upon a time, when I first started this blog, I absolutely hated my job. This was a problem.

In the United States the average worker spends 43 hours a week at their job. This means that hating your job is equivalent to hating a quarter of your life!  And given that an adult in the US also spends an average of 45 hours a week sleeping, it also means that hating your job is equivalent to hating 35% (over a third!) of the precious time you get to be awake each day.

Obviously, this was not a condition that should continue. And, fortunately.............it didn't.

This blog, originally, was born of my feeble attempt to find something joyful to help take my mind off my unhappiness and my hopelessness in my career.  Funny..........I spent so much of my time for so long trying to find ways to add things to my life that would make me feel better. I added activities, I added people, I added causes, I added material possessions, and, yes, I added a blog.  But in the end, it wasn't anything I added that made me feel better. I guess I had to learn the hard way that if there is something in your life that makes you unhappy, you will continue to be unhappy until you REMOVE it.

So I removed it.  Not the whole career. Just the employer. I am still a Corporate Recruiter. Only now, I am a very happy Corporate Recruiter! 

And for any of you who may have forgotten - happiness is actually NOT overrated. Happiness is AWESOME! 

And here's the ULTIMATE irony......... I started this blog to escape the misery of my job. It seemed like a good plan: use the blog to release some tension and misery via the written word. But the misery actually kept me from writing - something I love to do.  Now I have a wonderful job that makes me very happy and very fulfilled. So I shouldn't need the "escape" of this blog, right?  Right!  I don't NEED it, but I am so happy that now I WANT to write more! 

So I will.  Soon.

Even if I really..................................  "Should be working right now!"
