Tourniquet

Okay, enough of the blogging about these existential issues, they really just reflect more of a mood than anything else. One of the ideas to stem this flow of thought was through furthering my education and turning to a different career path than the one I am currently in which is insurance. Working auto claims naturally puts you into situations of conflict and you often have to present people with bad news which leads to lots of arguments and can leave me with a bad taste in my mouth when the working day is done. But I have also been furthering my education of my profession by taking these national insurance examinations which require self study and I just recently completed another one called the AIC 36 which covers the claims process, investigations and the inner workings of insurance policies. I stressed and studied for weeks over this test and when I took it last week, I passed. It gave me such a sense of satisfaction and success that I've noticed that its changed my attitude towards work over the past week.

I've started thinking that you create your own sense of worth when working a job, no matter what the job may be. Keeping a positive attitude in light of any circumstance completely changes your perspective and this is obviously accomplished through hard work and dedication and in the long run this leads to more satisfaction outside of the work arena. When I leave work after feeling I've done my work well for the day I can find more interest in the things I enjoy outside of work. The career works as more than just a way of earning money to buy housing and food, it provides a base to work everything else from. Who am I? I am a claims adjuster and I can be proud of that.
