The Need to Contribute
Nothing worse than doing a job to which you feel that you're adding nothing. I've been tempted to feel that way lately because I'm working for my dad whenever I can, which lately has been more often because I have less to do at the college.
What I don't want to do is do busy work that has very little value. He's trying to get his mill ready to start making screening pellets, and Randy and Kon are the main guys putting up augers and stuff. And here I am coming in here and there, wanting a few hours.
But it's been good, mostly. Today it was easy to see that I was contributing, which makes the job incredibly more fulfilling.
They're good guys to work with.

Do I know what you mean, or what? :-)
There may be nothing worse, but there is something almost as bad. When the job your supposed to be coming thru on does not have the resources needed and you have to keep pulling personel from other departments to accommodate the need, it's a very bad feeling, especially when you know the things being left undone in those other departments because of the need.
PTL for talented young computer techs who use their God-given creativity to produce programs that cut the work in half.
Feeling blessed!

I like it when you title your posts. (i.e. THE NEED TO CONTRIBUTE) It makes me feel like I'm reading an article to the New York Times or something of that sort. I am so bored, I'm just browsing xangas and blogs of those who aren't cool enough to have xangas, and leaving comments. ;)
o.k., sorry that was me.
