Today's Friday, TGIF !
It's interesting with the economy in the tank those folks with jobs feel differently about them. Sure everything about their job may not be perfect. The hours aren't what they'd prefer. Their boss is controlling and needs to micromanage. Their coworkers may not be the folks with whom they would have chosen to spend day after day. The money is only OK. The work itself doesn't fully engage their talents. The insurance is only fair. No dental. Yadayadayada.....
But, and it's a big but, they have a job. And how they feel about that fact is now markedly different.
Where before the job was a source of discomfort, frustration mixed with anger. Now, to have work, to have a job when so many other folks don't or soon won't, is a source of comfort. Same job. Same person. Yet everything's different.
They can live with the hours. Their boss may not be perfect but who is? Their coworkers aren't so bad either when you give them half a chance. The money's not bad. The work itself now engages the mind in a new way and one's talents also. Sure no dental but at least they have health insurance. That's a plus. And, hey, it's Friday. Things aren't half bad. I'm pretty lucky.
