Something to remind myself of (and I suspect others need to remind themselves, too):

Just because you're enjoying something doesn't mean you're not supposed to be doing it.

12 years of Christian Guilt

I've been feeling guilty for how much I love my job/career. Like it's not really work unless I hate it. There are aspects of it I hate, sure. Don't get me started on my issues with the Front. But the meta-level stuff about producing content--that's my niche. After spending so much time trying to find where I belong, I've found it, and I'm deep in the throes of New Relationship Energy with it now.

I spent most of my paycheck-earning life in some sort of service work, usually call center customer service type stuff or being biological office equipment. I hated every second of it, but it paid the bills. And I guess I got used to the idea that I was supposed to dread going in to work every day. Now that I don't, it feels sinful. Obviously there are and will always be times I dread going in because I have a shitty boss or a project that's driving me nuts or boring me silly. But generally speaking, the work itself feels good. And dammit, I'm going to enjoy that. I put in my dues with the jobs from hell. Time for me to like what I spend so much time on.

That god-awful meme everyone's doing...

(Click here to post your own answers for this meme.)

I miss somebody right now.  (Many, many somebodies) × I don't watch much TV these days.  (Well, not during summer break.) I own lots of books.
I wear glasses or contact lenses.  (Since age 16) I love to play video games. I've tried marijuana.  (Twice. Was unimpressed.)
I've watched porn movies.  (Anyone who says no is either underage or living in a convent. And I'm not so sure about the last one.) I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship. I believe honesty is usually the best policy.
I curse sometimes.  (Sometimes????????) I have changed a lot mentally over the last year. I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me.  (If a mini SAK counts, yes)
it goes on... )
