A Humbling Experience

It's been quite a long while since my last post. You could say I've been busy. I've never worked a full time job before. Three part time jobs at the same time, yes. But one full time job, no. It's an entirely new experience for me. I'm used to jobs that are mostly just sitting at a desk and letting my creative juices flow. While there are definitely some desk-sitting aspects of this job, most of it is general custodial work. Eight hours of general custodial work every day.

In the time I've been working this job, I've grown to appreciate my jobs in the communication field even more. I'm so blessed to be in this line of work and to have positions doing things that I am very passionate about and really enjoy.

However, I've also matured in the sense that I now believe that at some point in everyone's life, we should all have a job like this. Whether a custodian, fast food service, or anything in that realm, it's a great and humbling experience to have. These jobs can be tough, no one is above them, and you can learn a lot from them. I am so glad I've done this, I have a whole new respect for the people in these professions. But that doesn't mean I don't look forward to getting back to work in my chosen field, I can't wait to get back to writing (and now editing) everyday, but I will be sure to take this as a valuable learning experience, and become a better person because of it.
