I like my job

The title of this post might throw some people. Now, through out my career I appreciated the fact that I was employed, I make a good salary, and it is honorable to work hard at what your boss assigns you. The thing is, I usually haven't liked my job. I've always liked most of the people I've worked with, I've found some of the work interesting; but I've never liked the job in totality. Maybe because I've viewed work as something that pays the bills and gives me structure in my life (after 5 months of unemployment in 2006 to 2007 I realize how important the structure is), but nothing that makes me happy.

I like my job at the Stanley Works. I can't say why, maybe it is that the work is interesting, maybe because I have a good boss (he is tied with Don P, from GM, as the best boss I've had), or the fact that there are a lot of cool people here; but I like this place. Proof of this 'like' is observed that when I drive into work, I am looking forward to work. I do not dread getting to work, but rather I am thinking how I am going to solve the issues on my plate for the day.

I just hope that the company continues to do well: or, more precisely, I hope the other shoe doesn't drop anytime soon.

Later,
