I have a huge urge to blog this morning.. Don't know why.. Maybe I just felt the urge to pen down some of my thoughts and plus, my buddy has recently resurrected her blog too (haha..) so maybe its an influence!
met a colleague this morning while walking to office, and chatted awhile with him..
so they all know about my resignation and he said something.. "well at least you have something to look forward to. we all don't have"..
made me ponder for awhile. what is the motivation behind you coming to work everyday?
what do you look forward to, and what keeps you going?
I think it'll be interesting to hear from different individuals..
well for me.. pretty much nothing right now I guess, since I only have about 7 weeks more to go in the present company. But I guess I could share my motivation when I was doing customer support..
During the CS days, I felt that I was needed. I am the strongest link between operations and customer. I am needed to resolve operational needs and issues for the customer. I am needed because I will invoice the customer at the end of the check. And when all these gets resolved and going, really, the sense of personal achievement and fulfillment outweighs all the issues and problems faced. And that was the best part of the job. Of course, the little perks along the way will be things like - building good relationship with customers and ops guys (and finding some friends to keep along the way), appreciation letters or emails from customers, and the list goes on..
Some may think - "She's crazy. This job is like a 'clear shit' job".. Well, to a certain extent, it may be true. But look at it from a different perspective: shit = problems, right? And if you are able to resolve the problems effectively and have your resources at your fingertips, its quite a feat!
What keeps you going at work? What is the motivation behind you waking up every morning?
