Crystals inspirational crystals and the crossroads!

Blue copper sulphate crystals
You know one of the first Science experiments I remember was the making of sulphate cystals in the lab, and the blue copper sulphate crystals which were not as good as these ones immediatedly inspired one of the boys to make fun of my name. I remained silent and he soon moved on to greener pastures. He really meant no harm but I was quite shy.
My education has come a long way since then but the pretty crystals in the lab made even the least interested female science students take an interest.
I think it is a pity that they don't try to bring such inspiration into the work place which tends to be a rather dry, get into it place.
I wonder how many people enjoy their jobs and really stop to think about what they'd like to do.
What do you think would be the best job for you and what do you like doing the most. Do you have a passionate dream of fulfillment or do you just go with the flow.
Feelings about work and work relationships can be very mixed can't they?
Your work place becomes your family as you spend more time there, often, than you spend with anyone else.
I only like a handful of people with whom I work. I admire go getters but not those who would get there at the expense of others and don't give a damn about anyone else, which seems to be a characteristic of an awful lot of people.
I guess I am not happy in my job. I like the pay packet and the perks and I like using my brain as much as I am able in such a stultifying environment. But I would like to be free, free to think, work and evolve, unrestricted by the usual narrow views of those who engage you to do their bidding.
Sometimes I think it would be better to have a very ordinary job which at the end of the day you could just leave and forget and turn your mind to other things. But I guess modern work day practices have freed us from going out and catching our own food, cooking it once fire was discovered or rather, I should say the ability to make it and as for females, we really are well looked after in modern society as opposed to cave man days. I shudder at the thought of that. There would have been no worries then about having a baby. I probably would have been raped and carried off to the nearest cave to have it happen over and over again. Not a pretty thought, is it?
How do you feel about things, do you have thoughts like I do. And I'd love to see the men here to have their views, I've never been part of a female only group before.
There seem to be very few men who mix much and no I would never seek any sort of relationship with those I meet on line.
I just want to explore feelings, both yours and mine so that we can help each other along the path of life which can sometimes be a slippery or broken one.
I'll close now, at the crossroads of life, so to speak, and I found a wonderful image which may make you smile of where I stand at the street corner.
Work calls and off I go.
At the crossroads

If earning the big bucks is what makes you do a job you hate ..........Someone once told me if you do something you love and are passionate about you will always earn more because you will be the best at what you do..the best ALWAYS gets paid even if you are like a cleaner or something.......the richest guy i know was a cleaner
If you have to stay at least put Rose Quartz on or near your desk so whatever love is in your office is drawn to you to make the best of a bad situation.
hope i dont sound like i am preaching, its just i feel your pain as I endured a horrible work situation for far too long before I decided to tell them to shove their arrogant wanker attitude and start my own thing......no not blogging that is for fun.........
good luck

I don't agree with everything you say but I really admire you for getting out of a horrible situation.
I just don't want work to control my life and if something happens, so be it. I love my life in many ways but I'm coming out of my shell and realize what I've been missing out on.
I don't think you're a preacher, teacher, just well intentioned and I have already a perspective that is very similar to yours but I guess we are two different people at different stages of our life and in a different space.
Life is very complex as I feel sure you already realize, I've been a bit slow to learn, that way. But I'm getting really excited about my new plans and expectations..
Must buzz, thanks such a lot for taking so much time, I love you for that.
