Excuse me for Enjoying my Job!
First off I apologize for not blogging for a while. I got caught up in my job and essentially lost the blogging flame for a brief moment. Well, I’m back and I’m excited about this dozy of a post. This entire week has been a wake up call for me. Now I knew going into this job that there were those in positions seemingly higher than mine who didn’t believe in the whole marketing thing (I know!) and therefore struggled with me taking on this new role in the company. After days upon days of feeling like a bump on a log I have come to terms with the fact that some people just don’t get what marketers do! That’s right, they don’t get that we have chosen this career path not only because we have a knack for easily blending creativity with business and finding unique and strategically efficient ways of promoting a product or service, but that we love what we do. Case in point. Accountants may find that their jobs get a bit tiring after a while. Counting the same numbers day in and day out; dealing with the same issues over and over again like the parts department not balancing the days totals or the finance is late with financing… again!
Well let me just say this. Just because I love my job and supremely enjoy surfing the web and reading articles and magazines doesn’t make me an unproductive employee. That’s the name of the game my friends and believe it or not it’s also work. So excuse me for enjoying my job.
