one of those other kind of days
today i decided i like the overall idea of my job. and that is what motivates me to continue chugging forward.
i met with some clients today, and they spoke cantonese, and that made me happy. now i just need more mandarin-speaking clients. =)
the other day a client said she felt like there was more hope after meeting with my co-worker and i. and we were both like, that’s what makes this job worth it.
oftentimes i feel like all our clients are very capable people and though they’ve had a difficult time finding jobs, it doesn’t mean they’re not as capable or ‘employable’ as others. after meeting with so many clients this past week, i’ve had an overwhelming sense that that could be any one of us. i could be unemployed soon. you could be unemployed soon. who knows…
on another note: it started snowing in the city i was in, and it never ever snowed for the 2.5 years i was there! i’m so jealous! i love how the world just stops for a day or two and everybody’s either inside keeping warm or playing outside. i love how everything slows down and we’re stuck at home with loved ones. i love that we don’t have to rush off to our busy planned-out lives. i love it when schedules are messed up, and we don’t have to follow our boring, hum drum routines for a little while. i miss china! and please snow again soon seattle!
glad to hear that you’re finding joy in your job! enjoy the snow if it does snow. i miss it!
