Zebra crossing


I was going through some of my thousands of old photos that I've taken over the last 10 years or so and I came across this one from about 5 years ago when we lived in Tauranga. There was one morning when I was working in dentistry in a job I hated for a company who made me feel unappreciated when I had to psych myself up most mornings. I remember walking down one of the side streets near the waterfront feeling the restfulness of that time of day. Now I'm lucky enough to say that I'm in a different place mentally and actually like my job and the people I work with. Time flies...

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Nice photo, I've had jobs where I hated even going to work and I have been fortunate that most jobs that I had and bosses were interesting and rewarding.

Life's changes can sometimes be gradual and we only appreciate the distance we have travelled (metaphorically) by looking back from time to time.

I had similar work experience that I psych every morning as well. Terrible!

Great reflection! Most of my jobs haven´t been good either. Glad you´ve found a good place. 🙂

It's terrible having to go to a job everyday you hate. Thank goodness you're in a much happier place now

Bad memories but great shot.

My experience is not to stay too long at a job.. There's always something that doesn't feel right and then the best thing is to change.
Glad you made a change and found a good place to be.

I´ve been there, too.
I had to drive 30 km. Did, and one day sontanously packed my stuff, went to the boss and said I quit.
Drove back home, Ingo´s Granma heard me coming, said, "you look so happy, did you finally quit?"

...fortunately I have never had a job that I hated.

Glad you are at a better place in your job and life.

Having to work at a job we hate is the pits - even if it is in a beautiful location. Great early morning photo. I only once had a job like that. Thankfully it didn't last for long. Good to hear you are in a better place now.

really beautiful morning scene (and waterfront location doesn't hurt :-). I am happy that those stressful days are behind you.
