One Pleasant Aspect of My Job

For the most part, you'll rarely, if ever, see me talk about the specifics of my job. Even more specifically, you'll never see me talk about my employer. Nothing to do with fear of getting fired or anything, it just seems tacky to get online to the world and talk about someone in that way. Privately disagreeing is one thing, public smearing is out of line. But I digress...

I work in technology. Every day I manipulate ones and zeros to do my bidding (although once in a while it feels like the other way around). There are two sides to my role -- technical and managerial. Although I have always enjoyed the technological side of my career, it is the other side I rarely find fulfilling. But the one, perhaps, redeeming quality of the "other side" is working with people. My background is ministry. I worked as a full-time minister for about 6 years while pursuing a technological education of sorts. For the most part, I love working with people. I mean, it's not free of blemishes, but you have to be willing to accept that when working with people in any capacity. If there's one aspect to full time ministry I miss, it's the "people" aspect. If there's one aspect of my job that brings a silver lining to the cloud, it's the "people" aspect. I've got some good people around me; and for the most part, the clients we meet are good people too just looking for someone to fill a service for them. While there are some bad apples in the barrel, it's the good ones that keep you going.
