It's that time of year, here in cube-city. Time to take a moment and fill out the online form denoting what your short-term, mid-term and long-term career goals are. They are due by the end of the day today, and as would be expected, I haven't really started mine yet.
Why?
Because I loathe this sort of thing. It's not that I don't like setting goals. I do, at least sometimes I do. Like right now I have a goal to finish a couple of books in a couple of weeks. I'm fine with that goal.
But when it comes to putting something on paper describing where you want to be in your job in 3 years? Yowzer! Not a fan!
I also don't know how this fits with Scripture. One verse that pops in my head is Proverbs 19:21, "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." And then in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future."
Why can't I just put that in my plan?
On a lighter note - we're having an "offsite" today. Going to a local theater that lets you order food while you watch the movie. Good stuff. Not sure what we're seeing, but at least it's getting us out of the office.
