Job Love

I Heart My Job

I heart my job. Actually let me rephrase that. I heart my career. I love everything about being a web designer. I love the creativity it brings to my life. I love the ingenuity it produces in me. I love the challenges it adds to my everyday existence. As far as I am concerned, I was made to be a web designer.

I do not Heart My “Job”

I do not love my “job”.
Working in a corporate environment almost takes the fun out of what I do. It is stiefling, suffocating, and down right infuriating at times. No one cares about web standards. No one cares about accessibility. No one cares about half the stuff that I am passionate about. It all comes down to the bottom dollar, and it is a frustrating place to exist.

Solution?

I could quit, but there is this pesky thing called a mortgage that I have to pay every month. Also, I have animals that like to be fed, not to mention, I my self enjoy eating.

Then there is the whole health insurance thing. It is nice to have it, and I don’t like not having it. Been there and done that. Not having to pay for doctors appointments and other such nonsense is quite nice.

Also, if I quit I wouldn’t learn much now would I? The way I see it, I am paying my dues. I am learning what to avoid, and how to deal with the rest of the world that just doesn’t get it. In the end, I know my brief enlisting in the corporate world of web design will ultimately serve me well. In two or three years time, I will move onto bigger and better things, and leave all this shite behind me. Now, time to enjoy some good CSS literature.
