Post Body

I don't know what to tell you, I just got lucky. All my life I worked shit jobs in service and eventually got into the professional/office world via writing/editing/content management gigs of various descriptions. Some were okay, some were flat out terrible. Then I got fired from my last one after the 1 year contract finished up, and a couple months later I landed this.

It's a medical content writing position with a tech company. I basically just write WebMD type articles and do copy for their marketing stuff. It's really chill about when you log on, meetings are once or twice a week, people are genuinely nice (literally never worked a job where I didn't think at least 1 person was a an a**hole, not this job).

It's not challenging work except for every now and then when we have a more creative and involved writing project to get on. It gives me ample time to work on stuff outside of work, be it health, hobbies, or whatever.

This is a weird position to be in becasue on the one hand I'm not really growing professionally but I don't think I will ever get a job as comfortable and low stress as this ever again. I guess I'm a little afraid that if this job comes to an end somehow, would I be totally screwed trying to find something again since my skillset hasn't really expanded? And another part of me says I should aim for something that uses my potential more.

On the flip side, I could move to southern Spain tomorrow with this job, no problem (assuming the company doesn't go bankrupt etc).
