We all complain about our jobs and how much we hate going to work – Lord knows I do. But you know…recently work has actually been my salvation.

I’ve gone through some difficult situations at home lately, personal problems that seem to plague us all. On those days when I don’t want to face that reality, I’ve found that work has been the perfect outlet.

And, as I hear of very close friends tell their stories of walking out of their job for the last time, it feels even better.

When I’m at work I can focus on a part of my life that does not revolve around friends, a mortgage, or a significant other (that is unless you’re one of those let’s-work-together types). Work is a place I go to be productive, coach, execute and create.  I know the rules, I’m a team player and I’m good at what I do – and I like that. I find that whatever funk I may have walked into work with, seems to get transformed into a drive that keeps me very focused, something my boss looovvveeesss.

So whether you’re married or single – kids or no kids – next time you just want to get away, try diving into your work and see what happens…you might just find you feel better at the end of the day.
