Ahhh always a tricky concept, making a passion into a career! The things I love would pay even less. My passions aren't marketable (writing, translating, creative stuff.) But I have learned to incorporate some of these things into my daily routine to offset the grind. For example, designing a chart for the VP that's fun and colorful rather than the usual boring list- that got some praise! Mass emails with some graphics are also fun to do. Difficult conversations that other people don't want to get involved with, that takes finesse and some creativity. Stuff like that.
That sounds great tbh - sounds like you managed to sprinkle bits and pieces of the things that give you energy and meaning into your everyday life: if that way works for you, fantastic! :)
Thanks!! It's a real rush when other people notice and they too seem to get a kick out of a little unexpected creativity in the workplace. Makes for a good benign conversation starter as well.
