L 4

What is it about my job that I like?

- The people who report to me
- The view out of my window from the 22ND floor
- Rescuing messed up projects
- Having the right answer to a problem no one else could solve
- Sharing my technical knowledge
- Being within walking distance of several Caribou's
- Being able to exercise over my lunch break
- A lot of vacation time

Wow. This is ridiculous. It might be that I have a bad attitude right now, but I am really struggling to come up with anything about the actual job that I like. At least with my previous job I could seriously say that I enjoyed the technical aspects of the work. I liked the puzzle solving nature of it. I liked that I possessed skills few other people at the company had. I liked that I was of some use. I feel kind of useless in my current job. Although I do know that being the focus of blame serves an important purpose in any organization.
