The Job you never wanted, but got anyway.

This is that little lesson on the wonderful world of Jobs.  I have had a few jobs as a younger person and I think we all can appreciate this little fact that they build your character.  I know some of the jobs I have done are not that fun some of them were the right job at the right time.  Others well they were just jobs.  But what I want to focus on is that job you never knew was a job.  In this case I will talk about drywalling.  Yep, I have been drywalling and I honestly can say I am not interested in this job.  I have some home reno experience doing this sort of thing over the years but I am most definitely never planning this as a career.  So this gets me thinking about other jobs.  What other jobs have I had to do and never wanted to do?  Think about anything you see or do is to some person in this world a job, a source of income (may be large or small) that puts food on the table.  I started to think more about this as I sanded the drywall tonight.  I though you know people make money doing all sorts of things not that they are all that great but they are a job.

So what in the world does all this mean?  Well think about it, you have a job, you go and do your job, that is a job that maybe somebody else would never want or could never see themselves doing.  I have come to think about this as we only see work as a stepping stone to some form of status in life.  It gets you money or gives you that satisfaction or maybe power over others.

So I keep thinking about this as I was watching the Tour De France, cycling a job for these guys what about the guys in the cars leading the team.  What a crazy job.  Now every place I look I see jobs all sorts of them.  Well my job continues to transform itself it is never the same and it never stops changing.  I guess in some ways it is annoying but in others it is what you want change and something different to keep you going.  But all in all I look at it as a job a necessary evil if you will that gets me some of my wants in life.  I do one day plan to retire and certainly hope my retirement plans are going to work out.

For now it is a job which is better than no job in my mind.
