Work to me is much like my marriage. (I have an uneasy feeling about which one I spend more time working on.) I have often thought that if I wanted to just be happy in marriage, I would have wed one of my close male friends and spent my days arguing about sports and swilling beers. Instead, I married a beautiful women who challenges me at every turn and never fails to hold my interest and ultimately... makes me happy. I want much the same from my job. I want to be challenged and never grow stagnant in my thinking. To discover new things - even about a task I have completed numerous times before. I want to be able to branch out into areas that stretch my abilities knowing that I have the support of my talents in the areas I have passed through before. And ultimately I know that these daily struggles and yearning for something more will leave me exhausted... and happy.
