Helpful Ideas...

I love my work. I enjoy what I'm doing and I do it well. I'm a computer instructor. There are days when I really love what I'm doing and then there are days that drive me batty. This week was a batty week but it's fine by me as I know that I am helping society by teaching skills that are fast becoming necessary to survive in the workplace.

Every workplace has frustrations and mine is no exception. Bosses who are out on vacation or who drop last minute projects or meetings on a week when you think there's a chance you can catch up with lab maintenance. Thankfully my boss who does drop things on me at the last minute will negotiate time to do these things if they are truely necessary or desired. He loves the efficent office and thrives on the fact that his employees want to take the initiative to do other dutes even when not assigned.

My point I think I'm trying to make is that no matter what your frustrations at work there are worse places you could work with ananl retentive, controlling and abusive bosses who do not appreciate the hard work and do not even notice that you are there. I'm lucky and I hope you are too in your choice of workplace.
