Who knew with every job you have you learn something new about what you are trying to get out of your lifetime career?? So that's me right now. I have definitely learned at my current job that I'm not so good at being one of those people in the background who makes things happen but gets no recognition. You got me...I've always known that about myself, but this job definitely reaffirms that. I like to be in the spotlight of sorts...at least to get recognition for the jobs that I do (...not just the mistakes that I make). The next job definitely needs to have both more responsibility, more recognition, and clear objectives (I'm a big picture sort of girl).
In other news...if you check two posts ago, there is a link in the comments section to an interesting website...well, I don't know if interesting is the word I should use, but it'll do. Now this website basically talks about why older (late 20's early 30's) single people looking for love are just doomed, because the percentage of the available population looking for long-term committed relationships is diminishing because we have become a "hook-up culture". It's about the saddest thing I have ever read, frankly, and I'm choosing not to believe it. The unfortunate thing is that it must have gotten under my skin because on my walk to work I thought..."what if there isn't a guy out there looking for a girl like me?" That is kind of sad, but me and my sister were talking tonight, and I came to this conclusion: I may just be too okay with being single that I'll never find someone because I'll never look hard enough. I guess I'm just relying on that guy to fall into my lap, or friendships to turn into more (read: friends of friends theory).
Anyway, just my typical thoughts on work and dating. As always, please share your comments.

Hey girly! I read the link too and I think that someone who is bitter probably wrote the article. They take the role of a pessimist rather than an optimist. It all comes down to how you want to view your life, period. For example, at your job, being recognized for all the mistakes you make, or the all the things you do well. It is so much easier to point out the negative in situations rather than find the positive and that’s what people tend to do when dating.
When it comes to dating, look for the positive. Dad always tells me, "I'd rather you be single and happy, than in a relationship and miserable." Now, you know, coming from Dad, that's a powerful statement. Anyway, Mr. Right is out there for you and all the other single people of the world. We just have to be open to the possibility that he may not be the picture of what we have in our head.
