I know that a lot of Steemians believe that my line of "work" isn't really work and I am really lucky with what I do. I completely agree! However, I have traveled and worked a series of random jobs in my time that were not as fun as what my current occupation duties require. This ranges from being a hotel porter, a Public Areas cleaner, waiting tables & in the world of construction just to name a few. One thing though that I found was vital with whatever line of work you do ~ the people you work with
Its those people that can make even the most tedious of tasks/work duties not only bearable but at times beyond enjoyable. The people I get to work with currently are from all parts of the world with a variety of backgrounds and experiences that to this day still blows my mind.
A few of my colleagues wrestling each other on the shore on a landing site being judged by a Chinstrap penguin

The picture above really highlights the joys of working with like-minded personalities, where these four amazing human beings had been standing in freezing waters, getting soaked for a good 4 hours. Not only were they still genuinely smiling and happy working away but also constantly wresting and throwing each other in water. All whilst, being watched and I am sure judged as well by 100's of Chinstrap penguins that were sharing the shoreline with our current landing site.
This reminded me of a bunch of young siblings that have loads of energy and are having the time of their lives torturing one another. At moments like this you start to realize that yourself the people you have been working closely with for over a month become a small, tight knit and at times a little dysfunctional family.

The best jobs are those that doesn't look like work at all.You are one of the lucky few to be paid for what you enjoy doing while making cool unforgetable memories plus you actually get to entertain the penguins.

the penguins don't seem that they are enjoying the wrestling though, the do not like violence even the peaceful one in your colleagues case.
You should be feeling great that you have nice colleagues, because my colleagues at work are just fucked up and the majority of them are just exploiters i terms of everything and this makes me hate my job after sometime.

Congratulations on successfully making your passion into your job! We should all be so lucky... :)
I'm working on getting there with my photography but it seems it takes a whole lot of patience and a lot of connecting with the right people.
Love your photos and stories though, it's great to see you in my feed whenever I log in!

Very well said. People can change the way you approach any situation. And surrounding yourself with people you admire, respect and enjoy is a great way to improve - through sheer osmosis.
