Down But Not Out
I keep telling myself that I need to post something soon. Then I realize that another week has gone by and I still haven’t written anything!
The truth is that I am just a little depressed about my job. I used to have a great job that was full interesting moments where I knew that I was adding value at every turn. It was at the high point of my career that I under estimated the ability of upper management to totally mismanage everything and thus drive the company and my career deep into the ground.
So, now I have a new job. I work for the same company doing new and ever more boring tasks every day. So, I am a little down.
I figure that if I don’t like my job, I could at least not like it closer to home. And while I am at it maybe I should get a new career too.
So, the job search begins. Who knows, maybe I will figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

It, too, can be quite boring. Unless a cow is in the road in front of you.

God blessed us with my great job, and we took advantage of it. My job wasn’t that hard as far as physical work. I worked 7:30-4 mon-fri. I was set.
NOW. I work in a factory. I stack heavy ass cardboard boxes. We work 12 hour shifts, rotating between nights and days. I can at least say, I learned my lesson. When God gives you a great thing, don’t upset him! I now understand the value of the dollar, and how hard some people have to work to make their living. I know that I will never take it for granted again. I hate my job now, but it pays really well. I come home sore every day! I think about quitting every day. But I don’t because I love my family. When the time is right, I will find a better/easier job where my family can get along just fine financially. I just put it in the faith of God to guide me down the right path. He will never give you more than you can handle.
Moral of the story John. Things may suck right now, but they will get better. Everyone goes through tough times. I put my faith in God, and he gave me my new job. He is teaching me a lesson, and it is to not take what he gives us for granted. I abused the money I made at fuji, and he punished me. It took me losing my job to see it. So what you are going through right now could be a lesson, you just may not see his plan until further down the road. One day it will click and you will say, so that is why.

Seems like you take things very much upside down. Like your choice of a title for this blog. You tell what it’s not instead of what it is.
I understand the point of being average when the “real” John Chow wants to be luxurious, being normal when he might be considered fortunate and lucky etc.
But perhaps even your perspective is NEGATIVE, and consequently your outlook and opportunities end up being only minor improvements when you need a TOTAL MAKEOVER. Realize your potential and build a business instead of “only” a blog. Build a lifestyle instead of only making a living.
Grab the opportunities with a positive attitude and you might find that your results will GREATLY improve. Good luck.
