This is the first job where I am looking forward to taking on more responsibilities and moving up from the nightmare that is “entry-level”. Even from the beginning I have been asking my boss if I can take on added tasks so that I can learn and progress in this position and any other position that follows here. I don’t mean to sound bitter, but when I found out that another co-worker (who is also a friend) had been given the task of assisting in accounting work; I was a bit disappointed. I’d really like to put all these menial and mundane tasks on the back burner and start doing some real work. But I told myself “Just be patient. Pay your dues and do your job. PATIENCE”.
God is telling me to be patient. But my work ethic is telling me to push harder for what I want and do whatever needs to be done to get to where I’d like to be. Maybe I can do both. Being patient doesn’t necessarily mean you have to let opportunity pass you by. I think what I need to do is not PUSH, but WAIT until an opportunity arises and then go for it.
