The Grind

So I recently got a job and have begun to understand what the daily grind truly is.  Although my job is early enough in the morning that I can have a life it is still quite amusing to jest at those around me who clearly have been doing this for too long.  Some of them realize it and others do not.  I feel that some of them are too bright to be doing what they are doing and for some reason are just content with what they do.  I feel as though this will be a stepping stone in my life towards a greater goal.  Meet some interesting people along the way and learn some life lessons, but in the long run I don't know if the corporate world will be for me.  I am a person that likes to develop standing relationships, and at work I do not know if past little conversations with my coworkers will stand as long term relationships.  I am looking for something that is more intertwined with the work I am doing.  Such as a controller.  Now it seems like it is just the act of working my way to that point so that work no longer feels like work.  There is not much else to add this thing that I call work.  Just living the dream and getting through life one step at a time. Gotta stalk what you love before you decide to pounce.  Find the job of prey and get it.  Just takes patience and determination.
