As much as everyday seems the same it brings something a little bit different. Today was one of the days that is a bit more trying than others.
Since the middle of July I have had visitors at my house, first it was my sister and then my friends from Ireland came about 10 days ago. This past weekend I went to Las Vegas with my friends Daragh, Christina, and Ryan from Ireland. Since coming back to San Diego, I have felt different than I did when I left. I went to work yesterday and started to deal with all the same issues that I had been dealing with before I left, it wasn't the same however. Whenever I get away from the office and do things in the real world I come back with a much different feeling. It's very hard to explain but I get the sense that what I do isn't making a difference in anyone's life. If I wasn't there to do my job for example, the people who I work with would still figure there own stuff out. While I like saying that I work in education, my individual job is quite meaningless.
Everyday all around the world people get up and do meaningless jobs with a sense of urgency that isn't really there. I have been well aware of this for a very long time, but I feel helpless to do anything about it. I would be a hypocrite if I didn't tell the truth, and that is that I am definitely one of those people.
