You think it's like this but it's really like this

I just spent 2 hrs extolling the virtue of my workplace - and I wasn't lying.

As much as I complain and gripe about my job... it's always been more the nature of work that is hate-inducing, not the actual job description itself. I am fortunate to work in a place where 1) hierarchy is eschewed, 2) jeans are acceptable, 3) I have free rein to do my work, and 4) I get to boss people around via a "supervisory" title. Oh yeah and when you work at a non-profit, it's pretty easy to sleep at night... and sleep in until 8am.

Anytime you work at a place, it's impossible not to bring that into your "real" life every once in a while, whether it's commenting on a store's insurance premium, pointing out Rockstar stickers or rattling off acceptable home loan rates.

Maybe it's a case of cognitive dissonance, but I'm proud of my little role in the macrocosm... though its immutability beyond this post is questionable...
