I was recently talking with a gentleman who is retiring from his job and he was bragging he had not worked a day since he started. He told me he had been very fortunate, "Find something you love and you will never work a day in your life!" How true.

I find that while I enjoy the work, I do not enjoy the current situation I am working in. Indecision. Wavering decisions. Constantly changing decisions. It really frustrates me. You can pour over the process so long it becomes a moot point! My current employer has been asking me for three weeks about one particular decision. What should he do. I told him the same thing three weeks ago that I told him yesterday and yet he has not made the decision. Everyday it bites us on the backside because we are in such a pinch for reliable equipment. If he were to take my advice today, it would involve at least a week to complete the work, so now we are at a month. I once worked with a CPA at the old family business who couldn't make a decision. She would rather walk around and visit about it and then days later, "guess". When she left, I did offer her my constructive work criticism for future reference.

Yesterday I found myself to be the victim of the previous day's indecision. Finally, just after lunch it was "decided" that I needed to go to Lubbock. After wasting the whole morning, we had a plan. Sad thing is, if it had been made early in the day I could have been there and back during the regular work day. As it was, it turned out to be after seven last evening when I walked through the door. An occasional long day is acceptable. The nature of the beast. But this week it has been three of the last four days. Something has to give.

I guess I am a wildcat! Having been a business owner/manager I have been involved in the decision making process. Right or wrong, I pulled the trigger. The decisions were made with the best info available at the time. I am wondering if I am an odd duck. Do most people shy away from decisions? Is it a battle for most? I realize than many people are quite content to work in the trenches and never have to make the decisions. These people are content to do the eight to five, collect the paycheck and hurry home so they can do it all over again. Many are not risk takers. Understandable. They have made a conservative choice to limit risk and reward. They will never enjoy the reward that can come with a well calculated risk decision but on the other hand, they will never know the disappointment and hollow feeling of a decision that goes bad. I have my preferences! For work, for work situations and for employees.

Let it ride!
