Giving Yourself, Karma and Job Hunts
Posted on February 8, 2008 - Filed Under General, Life
I was talking to a co-worker (and good friend) today about life in general, and how having a child really changes the way you look at, and live your life. I thought this really hit it and am going to quote Rodney here, hope he doesn’t mind.
I think giving of ourselves is the one attribute children respond quickly to. And really everyone can see the difference once you found it within. Giving has to be the one most rewarding thing we can do as humans and giving to our children and spouse is at the top of that list. Glad you are in that place and really think having kids older and raising them with this knowledge shows in our children.
I was telling him that I think having a child of my own has honestly opened up feelings I never thought I had. The same thing happened when I met my wife and decided to become a step-father to her kids. I guess it’s part of evolving as a person, realizing that there is more to life than trying to satisfy yourself.
Rodney is the guy that I can talk to about karma without him looking at me like I’m a freak. We are very similar in our belief that doing good things leads to good things returning to you at some point in life.

I was reflecting back on my junior high and high school days and am amazed that I made it through them. I was really kind of a jerk sometimes… ok more than sometimes and I feel bad about it. I wish I could go back and apologize to some of the people I took for granted. This would be the bad outgoing karma which leads to…

Karma comes back to kick my ass every now and then and I feel like I’m getting a swift kick right now. Things are not going well for me in my new job and I am unhappy. I am currently looking at new opportunities with T-Mobile, Pierce County and my current employer. I guess the best time to look for something new is while you are still working.
I’d love to stay with my current job because I think the challenge is good, and there is a great opportunity to learn new things but I’m running into walls that are beyond my control. No training despite repeated asking, is killing my enthusiasm. I recall asking specifically about training and if there was a structure in place to help me succeed, and I was told that there was, but am finding that is not the case. I’m reading as much documentation as possible, and trying to get things done on my own but there comes a time when you just need to rely on others to help with the process and it’s not happening.
Maybe I’ve been with the same company for too many years and it’s time to branch out and explore new stuff. Hopefully one of the new companies will call for an interview.
