The Melbourne Daily

22 days to go
Time: 9am
Location: Rialto, Melbourne
Feeling: like I don't want to work

It has been pointed out to me that my post-holiday trough is disproportional to the actual holiday taken. 2 weeks vs 2.5 weeks. Yes, that is true. However I’ve been in denial about it until Monday. So really the trough didn’t truly kick in until 2 days ago. So now we are back to normal expectations of the typical trough.

Quote of the day is quite interesting, unlike my horoscope for today, and I leave you with it:

“When work is a pleasure, life is a joy! When work is a duty, life is slavery.” – Maxim Gorky

So true.

Has anyone out there found a type of work that is a pleasure? And if so, care to tip me off? I’m thinking I’d make a good PA/EA. I like organising stuff. Or maybe an events company could be my thing.

PS does anyone know how to install a counter on the blog??

re work: I fully agree with the premise of "American Beauty"... that the least responsibility in a job makes for most enjoyable work. True for me anyhow. BUT I'm not sure if that'll really work for you... :)

re counter: check these guys out... http://blogcounter.com/
you just fill out the thingie and they give you the HTML to put in your blog.

I actually liked my job when I had responsibilities that were slightly beyond my skill level as I felt that I can learn something new and improve without stressing about failure.

For now I'm surprisingly happy to be staying at home, but I keep on thinking about what I will want to do in the future as I realized that I don't like being stuck in front of the computer all day.

Hope you'll figure something out.
