Today I applied to a government job online. It only took one click of a button. Oh, of course I’ve spending a few weeks filling in my personal data into the State’s job matching system to get to this point. Nonetheless, it really only took one click. Amazing! Today it came back with an ideal match for my experience and expertise.
I realize lately that I thrive within structure. So much that looking back over the years at my current job I can recall creating structure where there didn’t appear to be any. It seems professional, reliable and efficient to have processes and structure. It’s one thing to have some kind of amorphous carefree and footloose entity that is creative, quick thinking and ready for the next switch in stream, but without the foundation, it’s just enchanted anarchy, fleeting at best. I think this is how life is, or at least the truth behind my own. I thrive in structure, and within that structure, I can evolve to be a more creative individual. However, by trying to survive in a directionally challenged organization I suffer my creativity for it. Bliss can be created only on a strong foundation.
I am not sure the idea has been expressed here adequately on this ‘virtual paper’, but in my head (where is counts) it makes perfect sense.
