It suddenly dawned on me as I was problem solving through my best friends divorce issues (something I know nothing about but quickly dove in and tried to learn every thing possible to best guide her) and then there were my personal health insurance issues and a project I had taken on to support a little church in Patton, PA and suddenly it hit me - I SOLVE PROBLEMS! That's literally what I do all day at work and in my personal life. So I put this on my dry erase board and it might as well become permanent because when I'm stressed about a new problem, I just look at that board and remember that I'm doing what I was made to do.
Yes I do work for a toy company and make toys but you know what most of my day is about? Solving major issues with the toys and some days it just seems like no one wants to get their hands dirty so they leave the hard stuff for me. One big pile of dirty laundry waiting for me to clean it up. It's daunting and rewarding all at the same time. There are days when I have no problems and I'm bored out of my mind. That's when I realize that the thrill of problem solving is part of my DNA and no matter how many times a new problem aggravates me, it's my job to solve it.
