Do You Love Your Job?

I have written a post about “loving your job” and in it I also wrote that:

Love your job. Live with the inconveniences that goes with it for who knows, you might even  consider yourself more fortunate than those who have none.

The Weekly Question will focus on this topic about our paying jobs, be these former jobs or current ones.

Do you love your job?

My answer:

Yes, I love my job.

I have been a teacher for a long time already and I must say that this is exactly what I enjoy doing.

Working with children who have developmental problems is a challenge that keeps me on my toes. Reading about the latest trends and studies as well as talking to parents and other professionals are learning experiences for me.

Of course, not all experiences are worth remembering because there are rumor makers and judgmental mothers with sharp tongues. To them I say, hmph, they need people like me to help them with their children more than I need people like them.

I am about to say goodbye to this one other workplace that I go to because of several reasons and one of these would be traffic.

Yes, the commute from home to the workplace and back takes two and a half hours and sometimes more. gas expenses is no joke considering one is stuck in traffic to and from work.

I also bring my two younger homeschooling children with me at work so my expenses are more than what I intend to, even if we bring snacks and lunch food. If I have more students then this is ok but I don’t and when there are cancellations I end up with less income than I should have.

it’s not about the money but its about being happy with the work and its conditions. After I tell my intentions of resigning, then I can probably concentrate more in this other workplace in the small room behind my MIL’s home where I have started it all and where travel time takes me less than 10 minutes 🙂

Anyway, I hope you won’t vent all your frustrations in your post because we don’t know who is reading them. We might not want to end up like the girl who was sacked because she wrote her job as boring on Facebook.
