Love my job; by the way, are you hiring?

"If your work is becoming uninteresting, so are you. Work is an inanimate thing and can be made lively and interesting only by injecting yourself into it. Your job is only as big as you are."
- George C. Hubbs

The other day, I was talking to someone who confided in me about the banes of her job. Each job has its own nadirs and zeniths. It is up to each individual to decide whether the pros outweigh the cons or vice versa. Considering that most of us spend half of our waking hours working at a job it is very important that we like what we do, or else we should do what we like.

Fast Company has compiled a list of jobs, which according to them are the best jobs to pursue over the next 5 years. Have a looksie at the 25 top jobs for 2005...

Do you get up in the morning glad to be heading out to another day of work, or is it a burden that you feel you must bear?

What according to you is the best job? What must one consider before taking up a job - money? retirement benefits? chances of promotion? perks?

I love my job(and that's the understatement of the decade), are you happy with yours? What is the thing that you love/ hate most about your job? I invite you to share your views and opinions

Stranded !!!

There's one thing I love more than anything else in this world, and outside it, and that is Reading! What can be more gratifying, than curling up with John Grisham (I meant his books, of course! What were you thinking?) in your arms, and a bowl of popcorn to munch on? Now, I've been trying to lay my hands on some more books to add on to my modest collection, in my library, and the ones that are gathering dust in the cupboards of my friends. (So, if you are reading this Shhhh, RETURN my books soooon!)..I can't live without them.

The Strand Book Festival is on in Mumbai (from 28 Jan to 13 Feb) and I'm dying to be there, and blow all my hard-earned money (that's a blatant lie- I love my job so much, I wonder why I get paid for it;) on books.

But I won't be able to make it this week. (Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!) So excuse me while I go and re-read the ones that I already have..

* Of late, I have taken to collecting E-books, so those of you who have any (especially thrillers and whodunnits. And puhleeez spare me the mush!Aaaargh! I stay away from Mills and Boons and their distant cousins), please, please, please mail them to me at sangeeta.kkini@gmail.com.

And oh! I love reading Inspirational mails (males, please excuse :D), PowerPoint presentations etc. I currently need them for a PTA project (Yes, I'm a school teacher) that we have undertaken. So whoever is still reading this, please keep me in your mailing list and do send me any motivational material that you have..
P.S. No Junk/Porn please..

I stumbled upon this link, where you just have to enter the URL of any site (choose one with lots of pictures ( I chose mine of course) The Illusionizer replaces the images on any page with other images using Google Images results, and the results, needless to say are hilarious!

*Enjoy*
