fitting

i can't remember if it was in high school or college, but in one of my classes my teacher had asked us to consider a regular work day.  did we see ourselves in a 9-5 conventional job as opposed to one that morphed all the time?  though i wasn't quite sure what i preferred back then, my classmates had easily pinned me.  they could see me in a familiar environment with a set schedule and "regular" day-to-day.  i couldn't disagree that that's what i had an affinity for, but i also wouldn't be okay being bored out of my mind.  i knew i needed something i could be passionate about but feel challenged by as well.  so did that mean i'd rather be in a rapidly-moving workplace?  i wasn't sure.

in a way, i sort of stumbled into healthcare, an industry that is ever evolving.  there are new regulations that pop up every day, updates to process, advances in technology.. and our role as professionals is to ensure compliance, follow protocols, and learn to not only welcome a new age but conform to its effects.  so i'm technically in a fast-paced atmosphere, but with a special set of skills that allows me to stick to a fairly traditional office setting.  who knew that i'd find my perfect career match without even knowing that's what i wanted?

funny how the pieces fall into place when we aren't looking for or expecting them to.
