Bored at Work?

Imagine your a security guard. will you be bored at work?.. Does a security guard bored as his work?... Are you bored at your work?... What causes you to be bored at your work?...
If your bored at your work this will produce total stress in your part.

The reason you are bored at your work is you do not love your work. It seems that every movement you make drains your energy. At the end of the day you are very tired and weak that you want to sleep already. When you wake up on the morning you feel weak and don't what to wake up. When you arrive at the office or work you feel dizzy and seems that you cannot move. What does this mean? You don't love your work. You may want your work because of high pay but you don't love it.

My first job is to tender an electric distribution utility substation. I stay at the substation monitor and log meter loadings and report any incident that may occur. Initially I love the job because it is my first job. But after few weeks I started to be bored. I ask my self? Will this be my job forever? will I do this daily routine forever. It's so boring, Just like a security guard, Guarding the substation. I don't like this job it's so boring... Did I resign? No... (At the Philippines it is really hard to find a job) .

What did I do?... during break and after work I manage to have time to study and read books for knowledge. I studied the equipment at the substation how it works and what are its functions. I studied computers and how to make my reports easier to generate. As time past, little by little I started to appreciate the importance of my work and how do I contribute to the company. With this little knowledge I started to love my work.

As time past, with my continues study, I started to ask - How can I make my work more reliable and efficient?. Maybe by submitting report on time, Give recommendations for more reliable service, etc.... So I started to create a simple program (which i studied - I'm not an I.T. or Comp. Sci. - by the way I love computer programming) to generate report more easily. With my program I minimize a 1 day work to 1 min work just to generate a report. That's a big deal because my boss somewhat recognize me a little... hehehehe...

My boss then call me at the office and gave me different job. He assign me to make a simple program to monitor the gas consumption of their crew vehicles. So with my little knowledge of programming and research I finished the job in 1 months time (I'm not a Programmer Expert - OK)..

After the project he assign me to be an Line inspector... I'm not into this job again.. Huhuhu. Because the job involve direct contact with our consumer/clients requests... I really don't like the job... I'm hook with my fist job as a substation tender and a little programmer..

After 3 months with this job without so much improvement on my side except maybe to my social relationship with consumers, my boss return me as an substation tender but as a team leader. I've been assign to be the leader of our substation project which is SCADA (A system that would automate substation, where in if finished no more substation tender needed only SCADA operators)... I was so happy because It applies my knowledge in substation, computers, and programming.. all in one. Right now up to present I'm a substation tender and continuing out our project.

We don't need to resign to find better job. We have control in our self to love our job and/or to be assigned in different job.. Maybe Resignation would be the last resort.. hehehehe..
If you want to love your job you can do so if you want to.....

Good Luck and God Bless!!!..
