Currently, I am looking into different options for work from what I was doing before. Diversity is good and if I could expand what my traits are then one day everything will come full circle. I am looking forward to the challenge of trying something new! 4 years ago

Interestingly, I like to be challenged. But I think I like to be challenged by things that interest me. Others just want to be challenged. The more I think about it and the more I look around, the more I see that I like the be challenged but I want that to be interesting to me as well. So the dilemma before me is where do I want to go after the job. It’s something I will have to think about a bit more and figure it out. And lately, I have been a bit lethargic and I am thinking the fact I don’t have a boss and no one to really report to may be a slight issue… and it’s not that I need a boss but it’s nice to work with someone to talk to about things and have stuff in common with. A couple times per week I am challenged and that’s good but the other days in the week I could do this from home, which is completely frowned upon for absolutely no reason! I see this as “down” time and it’s good for a period of time so at the moment I am content and at the same moment I am discontent. Ya, I am confused too! hahaha 6 years ago

I had my review last week. I was asked to step out of my comfort zone and do more. Of course, they don’t want to pay me more or give me a promotion but by doing more, just maybe I’ll get there. I walked away thinking how I like my comfort zone and I really don’t want to step away until I have some time to reflect and figure it out.

Yesterday at the conference, one of the topics was international opportunities. I was in Mexico a couple yrs ago learning Spanish and although I am ok, I have been looking into a tutor to get better and more fluent. Listening to her talk about Argentina, I was ready for the challenge. The challenge of perfecting the language. The challenge of taking on a new role. The challenge of living abroad. And maybe it’s all in my head b/c I don’t know if they are sending anyone away but I felt the passion and ready to confront those challenges. Yes, it’s time for a change and time to pursue maybe new challenges! 7 years ago

So I decided to take Javascript b/c some companies I was looking to apply to were looking for this skillset. Additionally, I thought it would be cool to know something about a language since I don’t know anyting about it. It was recommended I take HTML, so I took it for 8 weeks- lots of fun. I am into my 5th week of JS now and it is kicking my butt! It was supposed to be somewhat of a fun class and it’s becoming anything but. It really is like learning a whole new language! Pretty cool stuff but it’s really hard to get motivated or find time sometimes esp with nicer weather. It’s a tough but good challenge. 3 more weeks!! ;) 7 years ago

I have a couple things to challenge me recently. For one, i signed up for HMTL and Javascript classes. They’re online so I figure it’d be nice b/c it is on my own time. I know nothing about these languages so it’s challenging but a good kind of challenging.

The other thing is I am moving, which means I am going to paint for the first time. I am always up for learning new things but it seems this is going to be a crash course! I am excited to see how things will turn out! 7 years ago

As much as I sometimes I want to sit back and have things easy, I always find myself looking for new challenges. I guess in some ways this links in with the “growth” goal since they go hand-in-hand. I like to be challenged and when I accomplish something, it’s a good feeling. When I am doing nothing or things get too redundant, I find myself dragging a little, starting to lose motivation, and just not having that overall good feeling of accomplishment. This goal is to make sure I keep looking for those challenges that will keep me sharp and on top of things! 7 years ago
