Day 7 - Job searching

Share (Thoughts)

It's been a long, arduous and tiring day.  I felt completely drained by 8 p.m. and tried to think of something I discovered today so that I can blog about it, but.... nothing.  But I have been pondering about some things.  I'm working on updating my resume at the moment and thought about that time when I held a job as an office manager.  What did I like about it?

Back in the day I did not have as good of a positive attitude as I may have now so at that time everything seemed to be "blah" although I was good at managing the office.  Looking back at it today, I really did not have any passion in being the office manager.  What I did enjoy about the job was organizing and maintaining the filing cabinet.  I especially enjoyed being able to choose a new wall color and trim color, and rearrange the office furniture and equipment around for better workflow.  Basically, I enjoyed decorating the office and sprucing it up to date.  When furniture and equipment are in the right place, I feel really good.  I feel like all the pieces of the puzzle are put together and nothing sticks out.

So, handling paperwork... although I may be good at it, it's not really a passion for me.  I don't get entirely excited about processing paperwork.  At first I wondered if it was just laziness, but thinking about it more, it really is just mundane with nothing to get excited about.  Now if the paperwork was to process a vacation trip package or a brand new computer, then it gets exciting!
