Acquaintances
Saw an acquaintance at the pharmacy today. Met him at the hospital orientation program, and only bumped into him about 2 or 3 other times in the hospital before today. Still remembered us being partners in orientation and the fun of being "mysterious shoppers". However, I learned he's no longer with the institution... ever since last yr. Then I asked myself, why am I still where I am. I do not like the work I am doing yet I have stuck with it for almost 2 yrs.
On the bus trip home after work, I met an ex-nurse manager. Have not seen her for months, but she's looking good. She's happy with her current job. Compared to the last one as a nurse manager, she now works regular office hours, 5-days work week, and has a lower patient load. Life's good for her. When I think about all the stupid things I have to do, I again wonder why I am still where I am.

how many of us like what we are doing and are happy doing it?
Not many I guess. There some who delude themselves into thinking they like what they are doing. Then again, I want to believe there are people happy doing what they are doing because it means the rest of us can hope to achieve it.
