Job Joy

[przed]

I'm having an "I love my job" kinda day.

I've been enjoying the new gig, but they've had me focusing on the writing rather than the training part of the Technical Writer/Trainer role since I started. Yesterday, I finally got to do my first bunch of training sessions, and had another two today.

It was awesome.

I really, really like teaching/training/getting up in front of people and showing them cool stuff. And I'm pretty darn confident that I'm good at it. Confirming this was the fact that everyone seemed really happy with the sessions, and a bunch of people complimented me on them. The best was one of the senior Admin. Associates (the gals who pretty much run the place) who told me "I'm glad we finally have a trainer. And I'm really glad it's you."

Awww.

Traumatic as getting laid off was, I seem to have honestly ended up in a better place.

So, let's hear it for having a job you enjoy.

Good for you!

I'm fortunate in that most of my adult life I've been self-employed and in a position where it never felt like 'work'. The odd times when I've had a job and I've had to drag myself out of bed thinking 'I don't want to go there today' have been a statutory lesson in how lucky I've been. Going someplace you like, doing something you like AND getting paid for it = Job Nirvana. ;p

I've mostly had jobs I like, and have been smart enough, eventually, to get out of the ones I despised. But I think this is the first one I've out and out loved.

Here's hoping it keeps up.
