Tuesday's "I'm thankful for..."

I'm thankful for my job.

I know I often complain about having to get up and go to work. Sometimes it hard to make it through the work day sane but it pays the bills and provides excellent benefits. The hardest part of my job is staying busy and actually feeling like I've accomplished something when I close the door to my office. But the best part of my job is having responsibility of organizing meetings and making things happen. I feel like I've grown a lot since I've been here. My boss isn't the micro-manager that I expected to have. He very much lets me do my own thing and use my mind to figure things out and that is very empowering. I look forward to this summer and making some changes to one of our training meetings and getting things organized for the person who takes over my position in the future. It sounds like I plan on quitting, huh? Well, that plan isn't there yet but there are possibilities of moving somewhere for Victory's pursuit of his graduate career or maybe someday we'll start a family....if I could only convince myself that I could survive kids. :)
Two more days until Thanksgiving!!! Horray!
