Lately I have really been reconsidering things in my life. I often think that my job is not busy enough and that I should move on. I am wasting the few years before we have kids. This is when I could be hustling and moving up the corporate ladder. That is the rat race. The pressure and competition is something that I yearn for. I am not sure why. We have so many expectations in our country to have a big house and nice cars. Even my husband would love a huge house with lots of space.
When we went to San Diego I was so jealous of my husband's conversations with his cousin about their work in the business world. Neither can easily explain what they do. I so yearn to be part of a large organization where the work is plentiful. I am also quite a social person. It is so contrary to my nature to be cooped up in a quiet office all day. However, my job is very flexible. The people I work with and for are fabulous. They are so kind and are great teachers. This would be the perfect place to work when I have kids. If I can wait that long! There is a huge ebb and flow of work here. I am VERY busy sometimes and then VERY slow others. I do get out to the courtroom for hearing at times. I take depositions here and there. I talk on the phone a few times a day. If I can be patient that will happen more and more often as I gain experience as an attorney.
I just need to keep in mind the story of the fishermen from Aura Joon's blog. You can read it below. A life lived simply is more easily enjoyed.
