As I grow older, I realize that everything in life isn’t as what it seems. We go through weird phases every 5 years or so….I guess…..At the end of the day, human beings just can’t make our minds up on what we want to do. We always want what we can’t have, or expect something to be ungodly amazing, but it really sucks!
You become single, date, meet guys, and turn up, then realize you want to be married (ball & chain included), sit on the couch and cuddle to “Last of the Mohicans”, or you get married and miss the “quietness” of being single and the freedom. It seems like you can’t leave the house without a “Where are you going?” Really? I’m going to yoga and coming right back….smh…..
You sit at home and wish you were working and making money and being productive. But 3 months later, you become employed, and six months later, you would LOVE to call in to just sleep in for 10-12 hours (yup! that’s me!!!). I’m not a morning person, and I don’t think I every will be. Getting up before or around the sun rises isn’t my thing.
Or you hope and pray you can go to college and be educated like all of your friends and family members, but 77 credits later, you don’t want to see another text book or computer screen! I’m the type that looks forward to Accounting or Philosophy, then Week #5, I’m ready to get the heck out of there and start something new. Also, Science and Algebra kicked my butt, but I’m almost there!!! YAY!
I had a HR mentor tell me, “HR is not what you think it is. It will always be the total opposite.” So…with that being said….I love my job as you all know. I enjoy all aspects of HR (except Payroll — I hate being responsible for someone’s money), but the people sometimes make me want to pull my tracks out! I mean, HR is a “people” career. I have to be caring, compassionate, a problem solver, and a bunch of other things to appease the employees. In my last 8 months of working in this field, I’ve had things from mediations, disciplinary actions, office drama, complaints, YOU NAME IT!!! But, at the end of the day, when I defend someone because it’s the right thing to do, meet strangers at job fairs, get thank you cards from employees for kicking butt, and lastly, participate with my Veteran Alliance Employment group to help Veterans find jobs and save them from homelessness, that makes me smile.
I can walk in the house, put my purse down, and lay my head knowing that I kicked some major butt today, and helped some people along the way. I’m not going to always have the best days, but I hope I can make someone’s day the best!
Things in life will never go your way, or my way, but we can just make the best of it by dreaming big, smiling, and always praying.
