Rewind & Repeat

Just like how you love taping your favorite show, rewinding that tape you taped it on and re watching it over and over again, I feel I have been living that kind of life for the last few weeks of August, expect for the fact that you don't love it. Last week I had five shifts in a row, and I know some people are work-alcoholics and put in more than 40 hours a week so I'm not blogging to put forth a complaint but rather to share a horrendous thought that has hit me.

So I guess I've worked before and probably have done five shifts in a row, Monday to Friday but I realized life is pretty routined when it comes to working. You get up, go to work, get off work, go home, relax a bit, head to bed, hopefully have a good night's rest then wake up to start the day before all over again. All the way until Saturday hits if your lucky to not work despite the fact that Monday is just two days ahead again. But when I'm not employed I feel bored and there's nothing to do (out-of-school wise): friends maybe busy to call up and go out with, the house doesn't require excess cleaning or I'm just a couch potato, and your just being occupied by some screen. So I guess the positive side to working is one, of course the money! and two, you have something to do. But is that it? ... Pretty much.

I came to realize that when I finish my degree and get my ideal career (let's hope) will it be a routine as well? I get bored of doing repetitive work and that is one of the reasons I don't take charge of organizing specific events more than once even though I can approach it in a new way, but with anything, there are exceptions. I want a job that allows me to do different things, gives me fresh opportunities and challenges in a way so I don't repeat the same answer twice you see.

On a side note, weekends do put a smile on my face since I don't work Sundays so I always have a day just to attend church, have a nice afternoon nap, and maybe if I'm lucky I get to get ready for an outing or fellowship that night. The Sabbath has a purpose and I'm glad it was made for us to rest our bodies and not work.

Maybe that's why some people wish they were back in school once they've finished and has entered the work field. Ironically students always want to rush their education, get employed and start working. So in a week or so round 2 of university will begin and I can believe it. Its already bye-bye August.

Round 2, promise you won't K-O me.
