I Love My Job!

I have occasionally but rarely proclaimed that i love my job. I think the only job I really loved so far was at the Bank, but that as well only for the first few months, before personnel changes made me wish I could go back in time. Yestreday, I talked to a mom of two and what she said seems to reflect the situation of most working moms I know (including myself): we muddle through. The woman I talked to had taken a new job after her second child was born, just to get her foot into the job market again. Four years later, she has decided she has muddled through enough in something she does not enjoy, and is hoping to figure out what would be interesting but also compatible with taking care of the kids (her husband works long hours). Sounds familiar. I guess my new "strategy" on this is to first find an interesting job, get accepted, and then start worrying about how to deal with the logistics with kids. Approaching it the other way around, which I had been doing during the past months, makes things seem impossible. I'm not much further in the process in practice, but this change in mindframe has been a huge difference to my wellbeing. There is hope.
