I love my job.

Four little words that people don't say enough. So many people just bitch and moan about their job and want another one. My brother switches jobs about once a month. Although these people give me job security (since I am in staffing), it still never ceases to amaze me. We offer jobs to so many people who want everything under the sun along with the job - want to work part time sometimes, make $20,000 more per year, want them to hold the job 3 months until they are ready to start. It amazes me. Even one of my coworkers is not happy no matter what. She makes WAY more money than the level at which she performs, but she still isn't happy. Not too mention that we work for the fed govt in a job that people would give years of their lives for, AND we have great job security!

I was sitting in a training class that we put on for all the new supervisors today. I was sitting at a table with our labor attorney, a DIV Surgeon, and a BN Cdr/Bde XO. All of a sudden, I thought 'WOW, I'm so lucky'. I don't want to do this job forever, but I couldn't ask for better experience than what I'm getting. I meet so many people, and all these professionals see me on the same level as them. I have COLs who insist I call them by their first names.... weird. Anyway,I love my job. I have days I complain, and my boss is a terrible supervisor (although a great person), but all considered, I'm pretty dang fortunate with today's economy.
