Deep Blue Sea sent me an interesting article today about the relationship between women and their jobs, and how crucial it is to her well-being. I've been a workaholic until lately, so I thought that is just a natural phenomenon for both men and women alike.
Well-being of women rests on job satisfaction
Being happy in a job is more important to women than having a good salary or their marital status, according to an assessment of well-being by a Nobel Prize winner, Prof Daniel Kahneman. Women in the study rated different activities creating an "enjoyment" scale. Top was relaxing with friends. Commuting alone came bottom of the list, as did being with the boss, said Prof Kahneman.
I've been feeling not well lately - and I get easily bored nowadays. Perhaps, it is for lack of job satisfaction? Symptoms are showing, so I must find the root cause and make things right again. I agree that relaxing with friends would make me happiest. Human beings especially females are social creatures. Me included.

Zsarina, kids last on the list, really? This morning, Scam Boy and Green Man on Radio 4 was talking about Christmas presents. Scam Boy asked his mom what was her worst Christmas present so far. Unblinking, she looked at him. Confused, he asked again. She looked at him, again. Got the joke? Hehehe. Thought that was funny :) Believe it or not, after 34 years, my mom still harps on being in labor for 18 hours to deliver me!
Sometimes, I don't know if not having kids is actually a blessing in disguise for me. Seriously, I don't think I can handle it being a single mom. But for all that trouble, I think, it would still be worth having them!
