Stick it out

So yesterday at the gym I started questioning my job again.  I am concerned that I am so frequently questioning whether to quit or not, like that should be a flag or something.  And yet, I always come back to sticking with it.  When I ask myself what kind of job I want, the only answers I have are the filing/sorting job I had at Baptist Hospital or Not Working.  The filing job is a dead end low paying job.  The not working one is achievable, if I put in my 20 or so years at my current job.  The economy is rough right now, and many employers are not looking to do a lot of hiring, meaning my job prospects if I quit would be limited.  My job is unpleasant at times, is demanding most of the time, and leaves me with little free time.  But it is something I can do pretty well, at least above average.  They tell me the first year ins the hardest, and I'm only about halfway through it.  So I have to stick with it, and I have to make the decision to commit to it.  If I start hating and despising it on a regular basis like the army then I will start looking for another job.  I'm not there now, and the way my job is now will definitely not stay the same; it will definitely change.  So just focus on the next right thing, don't dwell on the negatives, and suck it up and move on.  Everything will be okay.

Weights are going well.  I am trying to workout as much as I can, taking the weekends off.  I can feel and see improvement. 

We have Rock Band 2 now, with the drum trainer.  Hard, but good. I'll practice more today.

Going to vote early today.  Obama!

All for now.
