Great thoughts!<br /><br />My job is people-oriented, obviously, so it's very different. Some of the things that I do are to try to make sure the students know that I value them by being careful and thoughtful in my interactions with them. I also try not to treat work as if it's not my "real life." I used to do that, but I spend 8 hours a day here, so it's pretty real. I make friends with my coworkers as much as I can so that it's easier to enjoy my time here.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11427522030281989523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-9510293484293120022011-10-11T01:06:06.397-04:002011-10-11T01:06:06.397-04:00such a well thought out post. I was actually talk...such a well thought out post. I was actually talking to Taylor tonight about finding jobs and working and how some people hate their job and some people love it. The fact that you don't hate it is cause enough to celebrate in my humble opinion :) But even though this job is not like you said, the most exciting dream job ever, it is important and worthwhile and you get to use your skills and talent, which is so, so important. There will always be things to not like about work, but there can always be things to love about it and celebrate in it. I have always tried to find the best in any workplace and it makes for a much happier, content environment. I absolutely believe you can have a celebratory lifestyle at the office, and if you don't, you're doing your company, yourself and your coworkers a disservice.<br />p.s. can I tell you how much I appreciate how well edited your posts are? I don't think I've ever found a typo :)Four Flightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10000752220758742399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-86097745648245873732011-10-10T19:25:30.519-04:002011-10-10T19:25:30.519-04:00An elementary school is not a real office....but b...An elementary school is not a real office....but boy oh boy did we celebrate:) When you are teaching I think celebration can just flow naturally from a happy spirit and being around the kiddies. I always tried to surprise my students. I was a big, huge fan of incentives. We had a varied schedule, and did not stay still for hours on end. All reasons to celebrate! It spoiled me and I know that now no matter where I work in the future.....I will have to have celebration.Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067051616983260115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-47943950134722817392011-10-10T16:14:13.771-04:002011-10-10T16:14:13.771-04:00THANK YOU for writing this!

I have a handful of friends at work, and that does help. But feeling unfulfilled by my job is very challenging for me, and makes it hard to feel like celebrating at all, unless I'm getting out of work early!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17115223963899486208noreply@blogger.com
