By no surprise I am hopping between writing a sentence on this blog, to researching our project, to researching another aspect of our project and then jumping onto my email to make sure I didn't miss anything crucial to the class and/or project.
It seems that there is a timeline to how I work. For most of the day I prefer to be moving around and conversing with various people. A break here and there allows for my to progress on work - homework, emails and other projects. Then at night I excel at at sitting down and getting some quality screen time in.
This leads me to a question I kept asking myself yesterday: "can I handle not being my own boss?"
Right now I am lucky in that I work for an amazing set of people that are caring, hard working and respectful. If I were to ever end up in a work environment that is centered around drama and politics I would leave without a second thought. The monetary value would never matter in a case like that. I lived in a situation like that for a year and I vowed to never return to it.
Chances are that someday I might end up working for someone I don't get along with or even like. Could I stick to the job and continue working for them? The simple answer that my past has taught me is 'no'.
Most family and friends would agree that although I am very good at playing the part and getting along with people I can only manage it for a period of time before I burn out and shut down.
Especially, if the work environment is drama filled and political. These types of situations are nasty and break a person down. It's a good branch off of my last blog, discussing the difference between personal and professional. Environments that are political have no true respect and thus blur the lines of personal and professional in negative ways.
At the same time, I have yet to come across an idea that I feel I could turn into a business. There is a fundraising idea I have (Jessie I'll be in contact ;)) but I am not interested in turning that into a business that is my only source of income. I would rather keep that a hobby that is a stress reliever not a stress creator.
All I know is that I have the world at my finger tips and am obtaining a degree that will help open a number of doors.
