Fulfilment at workWhen I was younger I used to think, why do people go to work so much, and why do some people seem to enjoy it or speak of finding some sort of fulfilment or satisfaction at work? I still do think these to some degree - I would rather be at home with my wife, at church worshipping God, be on a train, sleeping in my bed etc. than be at work. And yet, there are days like today when I do actually, genuinely feel good after a day of work.
Here's a list of what I achieved today...
- Did some work that had been hanging around for a while
- Encountered a customer whose meters weren't compatible with our quotation system. After a solid 90 minutes of trying various things to make them work, I finally got them talking to each other, and the customer was happy with the quote and will hopefully sign up later this week.
- Had a tasty lunch
- Completed one or two simple tasks which will result in a lot of time saved for others
- Had an idea for a project that would help our sales team. Both our sales manager and my line manager thought it was a great idea, so I will have fun trying to implement that in the coming days & weeks
That, my friends, is most definately a good day at work.
