I've come to realize the last few weeks that I've taken a professional turn- it's open to interpretation if it's for the worst or better. At this point, people mostly come to me with complaints, concerns, problems, frustrations, needs, wants, anger, etc. I don't get a lot of the good news. I do get a lot of worry and concern on the back end. I suppose that is where my career trajectory took me. It makes sense, but I wasn't expecting it. New title, more responsibility, more reward? Perhaps. But you know what they say, "'mo money, 'mo problems."
The good news is that I feel more fulfilled over all, because more authority to make a difference. Fixing problems can be pretty rewarding, even if they are more challenging than an easy task.
I guess that means that I should expect the problems and not complain about it- it's inevitable.
