11 hours
I spent
eleven hours in the office yesterday. To some workaholics, that's nothing, but I personally feel like it was a crime to have stayed that long. I can't complain, though, because I can at least say I enjoyed being insanely busy the whole day. I hardly noticed the clock ticking.
Just this week, I was a assigned a basketful of new responsibilities, which I gladly took on starting yesterday. It couldn't have come at a better time because just last week, I was starting to feel a tinge of frustration over my job. I mused, "
It's been a year and I'm still doing the same old thing." While I'm not the type of person to get bored and restless easily, like any other person, I also wanted growth. Stagnation and mediocrity are two of my greatest enemies when it comes to my development as an individual. Thankfully, not even as much as a week after I'd asked God to bring me new challenges was I offered this opportunity to prove myself in the office.
Believe it or not but it was in those eleven hours that I felt the most productive and fulfilled I'd ever been with my job since I started working. We all get our breaks. Hope this one's mine.
Cross your fingers for me.
