Do you Have a Career or a Job?

Have you ever thought to ask yourself if your means of income is just a job or a career? What is the difference really? And does it even matter? According to YourDictionary.com, a job is defined as “a specific piece of work, as in one’s trade, or done by agreement for pay.” In turn, they define a career as “a profession or occupation which one trains for and pursues as a lifework.” In summary, the dictionary views a job as more of a short-term work assignment and a career as the lifelong employment.

For instance, my habit of crying during the last 10 minutes of Undercover Boss, my ignorance regarding car engines, and the fact that I don’t own a smartphone. Oh.No.I.Don’t. Pay-as-go, circa 2010, baby. Yup, I’m living the dream, folks.

How I Love

A geeky way Finally after three articles where I dance around the subject, I’m going to explain my version of romance and how it functions in my marriage.

As I matured it changed, influenced I’m sure in no small part by my husband’s … Continue reading →

Is Your Husband Having On-the-Job Stress?

My husband is a pretty calm guy. But when things aren’t going well at work, he gets tense, and it carries through into all the other aspects of his life. He doesn’t seem able to leave work at work.

Perhaps this answer will vary from man to man, but here are the reasons he gave me: 1. Men are hierarchical. There’s someone higher up on the totem pole, there’s someone lower … Continue reading →
