They Say What They Say

So back to work today. Not as heinous as I thought it might be, but still...

Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that since we appear to be stuck with each other for the time being, I should perhaps try and concentrate on the positive aspects of my job, and not just on the fact that career-wise it's going nowhere, the internal politics sucks the fun out of just about everything, and that I dislike a many of the people I work with.

So, a list.

* The pay and benefits really are better than I would rightly expect for doing similar duties somewhere else.
* Flex time.
* The campus is lovely. I could be working for Monash and have to slog out to Caulfield or even Clayton everyday, but instead I get to go to one of the prettiest university campuses in Australia each day.
* I have the best view of the south lawn from the window next to my desk.
* Many of the collections I work with a really very beautiful.
* Lygon Street.
* It's close to home so I don't have to spend up to three hours a day travelling to and from work.
* My supervisor pretty much lets me do as I like as long as I get things done in a reasonable amount of time.
* Even though most of the food outlets in the student union suck, the Vietnamese soup shop rocks and you can always get a decent cup of coffee from the sushi place.
* It's handy to both my gym and my yoga studio.
* They've been really good about me taking time off work to go to school.

I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them at this moment. But yeah, concentrating on the good and keeping the bad shoved to the side. For the moment.
