Boredom, how I can take it as a positive thing..

I'm going to work these days wondering if it's going to become more interesting



It's been a strange few months, you can be sure that I've never had 8 months quite like it.

So I had the stroke, we all know about that, and spent 5 months going through a bit of rehabilitation. I had the hardest 3 months of my life, and then kept in the mood for recovery but tried to mix it up as things were starting to get a bit boring.

In January I was starting to suffer from boredom. Friends, as well as Jac, were at work and daily life was very lonely. I was happy to chat to someone with regards to my condition and ended up as this as my only topic of conversation. I suppose this is understandable as dealing with the stroke was all encompassing.

So with people not being around I started to think about and look into jobs. I was stupidly honest to most agencies about my condition and spent 3 weeks in not being successful in my job hunting. I can understand ex work colleagues being nervous about employing me but I was also saddened that these people didn't have the confidence to give me a go.In the end Certatech did and I had a job....... Yay!

I go into this role fully understanding what's required and there's me thinking I"m not sure that I can do this' Thankfully this wasn't the case and alll was going well.

It's now been 2 months, we've gone through setting up the program management team, defining and writing process, doing the set up parts for the program and now doing the ticking over parts now and I'm finding this really easy. I'm so bored that I'm looking and asking for work.

After thinking about it, I'm bored because I'm finding work easy. That means I'm looking for more challenges and feel confidant with my progress.

Therefore on this occasion, boredom is a positive thing.
