When you love what you do even the stress that comes with it becomes fun.

I dashed out from the office without taking glimpse of seconds to have a rethink on the decision i made. Any sane person would definitely jumped on the offer but 'yours truly' can't stand the thought of being stationed on a spot for hours until the close of the day . Every job has it stress however, when you're doing what you know how to do best even the stress becomes fun.
Frankly speaking, we are all complaining about "Job Stress" because we are doing another man's or woman job, we obviously don't like the job, we are purposely doing it just to get by the day i.e to make ends meet.

Fast forward back to 2023 towards the ending of the year precisely, i had a bone of contention on if to opt-in for an office job or a teaching job. I really desperately wanted to change my line of job because, all my life my profession lane has been a one way traffic, have dedicated it solely to imparting the lives of young ones nothing else or more and teaching job has been so helpful, aiding me to just do that. But at some point, I wasn't having it anymore not because i got fed up with teaching modus operandi but because the pay (salary) wasn't meeting my immediate needs not to talk of extended ones.

My new intended boss reached out to the door as he instructed me to resume the following day and he also told me to wait for him 'cos he obviously needs to get something outside the office. I thanked his benevolence demeanor because i literally knew the hassle i caused him before he accepted me.
However, while i positioned my tired self on the wooden chair i asked myself, is this really what you want? Uhmm, I wouldn't get to do much, just recording of this and that and running of minor errands and at the end of the day, I would have my handsome pay in my hands,that should do now but i felt I'll be wasting away and many lives i could have touched would just be somewhere laying there.
I had an awakening and right there i stood up,exited the premises and forgot to bid my goodbyes to my new boss.

I thought you reported indisposed yesterday,why are you here today? A colleague of mine inquired from me.

Apparently,i landed another teaching job which pay is next to okay,i resumed a month after the employment and for some reason I know, I fell ill few months into the job due to accumulated stress that comes with relocation. I was still recuperating but the thought of leaving my students unattended to made get up from my sickbed and find my way to school.

When you love what you are doing as a job even the stress that comes with it becomes fun.
