I spend an inordinate amount of time doing something that I rarely write about these days. Primarily this would be my job. For the past 6 months I have worked in a small federal government agency, and its been enormously satisfying. After years of working in that other government agency, its so nice to actually like my job, to feel a sense of accomplishment, and to enjoy going to work each day. Sure, about 20% of my job is just spent dealing with crazy people, and there’s things that could be run better. But gosh, I have a window full of afternoon sun each day, enough variety to keep me interested, enough time to get everything done, and pleasent people to work with. I can think of much worse ways to spend my day. And yes, I know its beureaucratic, but I do largely spend a great deal of my time actually helping people. Which is more than I can say I would be doing than if I was working in the financial sector (which is where my skills lie, and I would have been great at, if I cared at all to kill myself by working long hours risking other people’s money).
So today was just a good day. A productive day. I spent the morning in training, and this afternoon got on a roll with my work that I cleared most of tomorrow’s workload. Afterwards I went to the gym, and the supermarket, and then came home and made dinner and watched buffy. All in all a good solid day.
