Runaway Future

When I was home, the wisest man I know told me not to talk about work with the people I care about. I haven’t been able to completely adhere to that before or since I received this advice, but I’m trying. I am desperately trying to have two Kevins. Work Kevin and Life Kevin. Just so when I close the door of my office, it ends.

Obviously this is all coming out because the weight of work has been getting to me. Quite simply there’s a lot to do and I’m lacking the motivation to get it done. However, today in about an hour and a half of focused work, I basically finished the project I’ve been working on forever. The project is to be used to print the cheques for Kidsport. Kidsport is a fund that provides money for equipment and registration so under privleged kids can have the opportunity to participate in sports.

Today was the first time I saw a real example of Kidsport and its importance. There was a woman in dropping off an application and she just kept saying thank you and was simply so overwhelmed by the fact that money existed to give her kids these opportunities. It’s hard to describe, hard to pin down the situation with words, she was just so sincere and appreciative.

My work is rewarding. In the same day that I finished my project, I saw with my own eyes what makes it so worthwhile.
