Charlie, the question that I like number 10: Does doing what you do drain your energy or renew you? My current business renews me. My previous business used to drain me. That is why I am so glad I am in this new business. Thanks for these questions.

Charlie, from the perspective of my day job in cube land:

1. Have to do my work
2. Not exactly
3. Some of both
4. Mostly my organization, but I do have limited latitude
5. Far too often I just get through my day. But I do have certain projects I find interesting so those are an opportunity that I look forward to.
6. After losing six digits on real estate, I can’t afford to give up the day job – it pays too well. I have a plan to change that within the next two years.
7. This is an area of improvement that I’m very focused on right now/
8. I like to talk about what I do.
9. I steer my projects toward thinks that will build skills and achievements that help will help you do what you want to do 6 months to a year from now whenever possible.
10. Mostly drains energy
11. I make my todo list, but my manager can tell me to add things or ask me to deprioritize.
12. True.
13. I get up early or stay late because I want to get the project done.
14. I say “I am a software developer”
15. I would do some development, but a lot less than I do now. I find it interesting, but not always fascinating.

Very thought-provoking questions.

I’d love to say that I’m totally sorted, but I’ve realised recently that I’m probably not the whole way there in terms of work yet. I’m FAR happier since I quit my day job in tech support (which, like Anonymous, I only did for the money). And I do enjoy what I now do for a living — writing. But longer-term, I want to work more on my own blogs and books, rather than spending the majority of my working time writing for other people’s blogs (but theirs pay )

Looking forward to seeing your follow-up post on this one.

Yeah, I hate my job, I only do it for money, I’m not proud of that, but that is the reality of it.
