Is it okay to not have ambition?

of course. Once I realized that I have no ambition - I am happier. I work. actually, I work hard. But if I never move up, so be it. The world would be a better place if I ran it-- but if no one understands that,it is there loss.

Every Monday should be all you can eat bacon

I have no qualms about my lack of work amibition. My work friend constantly corrects me when I say I am not ambitious, she points to my to do lists for home stuff. But work/professional life, nsm.

I have work ambition, but it's mostly on hold for the next 10 years or so. Like there are things I want to do, but I'm currenlty more interested in doing the other things first.

Bon--you gonna be doing the housewife thing (I can see you rocking the role) or are you hunting?

For a few months, while I study for the bar and plan the honeymoon. I'll start looking after the new year.

We saw a great tshirt at the brewery during the F2F -- More Bacon Than the Pan Can Handle.

Congrats bob and bon!

All I want to do for the next 10 years is make enough money to live and save and not hate my workplace. Recently they have been asking me about wanting to learn new things and I have no interest. I'll probably end up doing some of it just because it will help my department and give me additional marketable skills. Someone mentioned taking classes or doing professional development and I would rather get food poisoning.

I have my performance evaluation today at 1:00. I'm not too worried, because my boss and colleagues have been vocally positive about my work overall. But I'm kinda dreading the "goals for the next year" part, because "keep doing what I'm doing now to keep the program running, just do a good job and maintain the status quo so I can devote heart and soul to my writing" isn't what you're supposed to say. It doesn't help that when my boss first started here, I kinda, um, lied and claimed an interest in moving higher in hospital/academic administration instead of just honestly admitting that the only reason I work is that I'm not yet making ANY money as a writer, much less enough to live on.

I love my work. Sometimes the hours are a bit much but that's just part of the sacrifice.

Is it okay to not have ambition?

Yes. Very much so.

I don't *really* have ambition. There are things that I would like to have happen in my life, and since I don't have anything better to do, I'll direct my efforts at them. But I'm not brimming with zeal and drive. A friend once told me that I seemed to live in a perpetual state of "serendipity overdrive", which I think is a lovely way to describe it.
