New Year's Eve

Its hard not to be reflective on a day like today. A year has ended and it is time to look back and see what I have done. When I do look back, I like what I see. Sometimes I just need to step outside of myself to see things more clearly. My job is a good example. Over the past few months I have been complaining about my job, but now that I look at it from a broader perspective I can see how much good it has been for me.

A year ago when I started the job, I knew next to nothing about the field of atm driving. As the company has grown so have I in some ways. A phrase that is heard a lot around work is the learning curve and there is some truth to it. Whenever there is a problem it has to be resolved as soon as possible. Solutions have to be found and errors have to be kept to a minimum.

Without trying to sound too much like a military propaganda ad, my job really does challenge me at times. There are also times when the job becomes routine and mundane, but as long as there is some combination of the two extremes I'll be happy. I am sure that I will learn more in the coming year and be able to get an even better job in the future.

There are times when I seem to get lost in the moment, but at this moment I am feeling positive about myself. From time to time I am negative, but I believe enough in myself to keep going. I won't make any false promises to myself about the new year, but I will keep trying to be me as I move forward with my life.
