As I sit back for a moment and reflect on my day, I also reflect on life and reflect on my feelings. I am uncertain entirely what I feel. I feel very content with the family life I am trying to build and foster. I am pleased with the state of my marriage.
At the same time, however, I have a sense that my life is almost on pause. As if I'm being held back from something. I have long suspected that God has big plans for me but I keep trying to not think about it too much, considering that I very easily start obsessing over it. I don't like obsessing over things. Nothing good ever results from obsessing.
I have a good job but I don't know that it's the place I'll be five years from now. I found out today that the company expects employees like me to remain in this retail sales position for a year before any sort of advancement or promotion. In times past this might have been a major blow but it doesn't feel that way today.
On the plus side, co-worker Frank was saying today that there is quite a bit of job security being in this position because it is a union job which means a manager cannot just up and fire someone willy nilly. What a huge relief that was to hear. I sense that my level of nerves dropped palpably upon discovering that.
The down side from today is I've begun noticing some soreness in my left wrist. I attribute it to typing in an uncomfortable fashion at work while standing throughout the day. I changed up the keyboard so hopefully that will help but my co-workers apparently deal with the same thing. Frank even had to get some physical therapy at one point. I'm hoping that won't be me.
