If you’re a regular reader of the blog, you know I’m a reporter. I love my job. I almost never know what I’ll get myself into each day before before I arrive at 8:30.
On some days, I’m sitting at my desk making phone calls, writing emails, lining up interviews, or doing paperwork.
Other days, I’m all over the place. I get to learn so much. And a lot of the time, I get to be active.
Like yesterday.
I am doing a profile of a nearby provincial park that has a ton of hiking and exploring opportunities. After doing a couple of interviews, my camera person (love her face) and I needed some supporting visuals. We didn’t really plan ahead and both had sandals on (live and learn), but we. walked. everywhere. With a heavy, awkward tripod. It was a workout!
The only problem? The two of us shared this for lunch on the way out:
Plus a carton of strawberries. Not enough. I almost ate my hand on the way home. Again, live and learn.
The moral of this story is that I love having a job that allows me to leave the office. Some people do well with sitting at a desk all day, but that’s not my thing. Being able to get out and explore is wonderful!
Do you have a job that allows you to be active? If you have a job that involves a lot of sitting, do you ever crave activity from 9 to 5?
oh gosh I bet you are super busy all the time and on the go. My job is the same way so I always coming home ready to eat my hand.
My job (when it starts, hahaha!) will be 8-5 in a chair, leaning over a persons mouth. As long as I plan my workouts for before work I’ll be fine. Your job sounds fun!
I am the same way girl! Can never sit in one spot for too long, that’s why I quit my last job. (even though it was PR)- now I’m hoping to get a job in the fitness/nutrition field so I can remain active all the time! PS- I would love to be in your shoes. Always wanted to be on the receiving end of what my last job did.
I wish I could be more active during the day but my job doesn’t really allow for it. Sometimes I go for walks on my lunch break but other than that it’s hard to fit activity into my daily routine. That’s why I really make an effort to work out either before or after work – it gives me an instant energy boost after being sedentary most of the day.
Your job sounds incredible! I’m currently in a 9-7pm sit at my desk, can’t even get up during lunch type of job. Honestly, I’m really starting to think about finding an environment that allows for more activity (or just being on the go!) but it’s a big scary change to think about…
I am doing an internship and its a sitting job, in front of a laptop for hours and I totally take a lot of bathroom breaks and lunch breaks I just walk around cause I crave activity SOOOO bad oh man.
Yes! I work in a doctors’ office and I DO find it interesting and fulfilling but there are plenty of times I wish I was out and about.
