Happy Boxing Day!
It's hard for me to believe that I've been home almost a week now, and that I'll be going back to San Jose Sunday morning. Home is always so comfortable, I hate leaving, but I know that I have to return to my life over there. Time always seems to pass quickly here.
My youngest sister, Christina, works for a Children's Hospital in San Diego. While driving today, she said something to the effect of "Working at a non-proft, I can't imagine working at a place where the purpose of the organization is to just make money." We were talking about Wal-Mart at the time, whose business practices are slowly putting corporations into bankruptcy and out of business. I responded by saying that having seen both sides of the business world -- I certainly preferred working someplace where, even if I came home from work exhausted, I felt like I was making a difference. Working at Project Read doing tutoring, I certainly felt tired when I'd come back past 9 pm, after getting up to go to work at 8 am, but I really did enjoy what I was doing there.
I think it's better to have a job that is life supporting than life destroying... (more on that later)
