time

my attitude to work was challenged on sunday. last week a workmate left for a new job; naturally he was all smiles and happiness all last week because he knew he was leaving. i want a piece of that! i know i'm not going to be here forever - can i use that to take the edge off the drudge that is endured here? yet at the same time, i cannot disregard the fact that my actions, no matter how small, have eternal consequences. somehow, i need to hold onto this as well, so my eternal perspective is focused on now as well as then.

work is tough at the moment, yet i know it is growing me somehow.
