Work life: Past & present
Mid summer 2011 I disliked every part of my life, I was going through a very tough time, but that sadness brought about the underlying sadness that I had had building up inside.
That problem was my job, & how immensley I disliked it. All that went through my mind everyday was that I had worked there for a very long time without progressing, many many years of being disrespected & under appreciated & I felt truly stuck. Despite the life long friendships I had made & the fun times that had pasted I hated it to the point that it made me cry daily & I started to resent every part of being there.
January of this year I was given a promotion at work, which has truly hit me so hard, in the most positive perfect way possible.
Ive become a valued member of staff & Im 100% appreciated & needed in that company now, Ive become a lot closer to my managers, professionally & personally & my peers that I work with daily. All Ive got is positive feedback & praise for my work & effort. Which I couldnt be happier with that finally my potential has been seen & my creativity is being used fully.
So as much as I went through some tough times at first, it definitely paid off in the end. So glad I held on to it & was persistent in my goal to move up.
People may not understand why I stuck it out or why I wanted to stay there, but I enjoy my job & Ive always said its better to work somewhere where you enjoy your job & may not get paid too much than working somewhere you get paid a lot & hating every minute of being there. Plus I live pretty comfortably anyways.
Work is where I spend 5 out of 7 days of the week, sometimes 6, so it needs to be a happy environment, & finally after all these years, i am content with what i do & am utterly happy with where I work.
Here's some pictures from my week
I made my mum home made popery for mothers day
So this happened at work...
