I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
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.

Our wings are not tired
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.

I'm not sure if "ambition" is the right word for me. I have goals, but they're not really career-related. Careerwise, I want to make enough money doing something I don't hate to support the rest of my life.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
On the whole, I enjoy what I do. And my current boss is good - we work well together and he seems to appreciate what I do and how I do it. I'd LIKE to make more money, but I work for a not-for-profit, so that's not really something that's going to happen. But I make enough to support myself well enough, so I'm counting my blessings. (And THIS boss isn't trying to kill me - yay?)
