~Thoughts Tonite~

Things I am thinking about...

Just pondering tonight how a person knows when his or her expertise is valued...Is it necessary to have an employer pay more money to show value OR to give additional incentives to show value? This is really something that I have wondered about for years...what does it mean to be valued and is that intrinsic?...OR, should value be equated to more money, more stuff, more, more, more...??? The problem is that my only real work experience is in education...which could be a skewed perception of reality...my dad always says that he always figures out a way to pay his best welder more $$$...but, I can't decide which side of the fence of this issue that I fall on...because I truly believe in TEAMWORK and that everyone on the team should be somewhat equal...give or take a few bucks...so, it confuses me when someone breaks away from the team...still pondering that one! And, breaking away from the team is about more than just $$$...

My mom always says that good things happen to good people...today, it seems that a not-so-good thing happened to a good person...OR, is it that I just can't see the forest for the trees...hmmmm...

And, the last thing tonight that I have questionned is my ability to live in a small town...and, the verdict is that I cannot, will not, might not live in a small town...:) I decided on several requirements that MUST be followed: 1) A Target within 30 miles; 2) An airport with commercial airlines within 30 miles; 3) A STARBUCKS!!!!; 4) And, the students cannot miss class for Ag Day or the County Stock Show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

:) Leaving with several quotes...
