Do you whistle while you work?

The other day, Kerrie and I were at the hospital, visiting her grandpa. We were in the elevator with a nurse, rushing off to be somewhere. I whispered to Kerrie, "I want to be a nurse! I think I'll start studying that!"

Used to my random rants, she nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, sure, cuz you have SO much time for that."

"I could go to night school!" I responded, feigning hurt.

But then, we saw her grandpa's catheter bag, and the thought of having to insert that tube quickly made me reconsider my career change. Maybe a therapist? They don't have to do all that nasty stuff, right?

Sometimes, I think about looking into ways that I could get paid to write more. Sometimes, I think about looking into ways I could get paid to do anything more. Is work always going to just be work, no matter what field I'm in? Or, is there a job out there for everyone that they will just LOVE and never grumble about. Sometimes, I feel guilty when I complain about work, or don't want to go in. Shouldn't I love what I do, ALL the time? Or is it just the nature of WORK, that we can't love it all the time? Or can work, not always be WORK????
