Teach Me Something

The past three weeks here in Omaha have been very good for me. I got to get away from my job for a while and learn more about my job at the same time. The classes made me think. They challenged me, which work hadn't done in a long time. I remember when I first interviewed for my job, the president of the company made some comment about how people need a small amount of stress in their lives. I agree with him. These classes may have frustrated me at times, but it was what I needed.

I am always disappointed when I meet someone who says that they hate school. These are some really sad people. I not only love to learn new things, but I almost have to learn new things. Life means more to me when I am learning something.

For a while I was thinking about going back to school and taking some classes. I wasn't too sure what I wanted, but I needed to be back in that kind of an environment. Maybe its because the people in my department are married and have families to worry about that they don't seem to mind the job as much as I do. The family comes first and the job is second. For me the job became my life and it wasn't enough. I don't have any other real commitments in my life so work became the focus which was bad.

Tomorrow I'll be back in Wisconsin.
