I love my job. Ok, if I’m being honest, I love chunks of my job. I especially love the analysis part. I love asking questions, getting answers, then asking even more questions. I love sifting through piles of data trying to find the key that helps me find the right questions to ask so I can work on developing an approach that may, in the end, provide the answers.

Life isn’t a bowl of cherries – it’s a constant search for the right questions to ask.

I do have a confession to make. I really don’t like the development bit. Despite the cute whoosing sound they make going by (didn’t Scott Adams say that?) I really don’t like deadlines. Of course, my current dislike of dealines is likely fueled by the close-of-business Friday deadline I’m currently facing.

Other things I’m not so fond of? Having to rely on others. Teamwork. Not having complete control over every aspect of a project. I know I need to learn how to let go. I need to learn to actively solicit help and learn to graciously accept it when offered. I’ll get right on that as soon as you find the cure for my type A work-til-I-drop personality.
