am i crazy or just bored

i had this project for work a few weeks ago to create a survey for all of our stores. we decided to make these surveys a little more than just a sheet of paper with some questions. we wanted our customers to look at them and know that we spent time on this and that we care about what they think. well i said all that to say that i got the opportunity to create the survey. now let me preface by saying it is nothing special and honestly anyone who knows anything about graphic design would probably laugh at it but for me it was a first and it was a blast. to be perfectly honest it was maybe one of the most enjoyable things i have done at my job. it wasn't that i loved the survey but rather that i got to create something. this is strange for me because i never considered myself to be all that creative but now that i look back i never had the chance to be that creative. when i lived with my parents i wasn't self aware enough to know what i wanted to do or what would be enjoyable. so i did like most people do, fit in. and in college i took the route that seemed best which was a business degree and i don't have to tell you that business school is not the place to explore your creative (or artistic) side. i am not blaming anyone or regretting my decisions but now that i have created something i want to do it again. maybe it has just been a boring last few days of looking at contracts but i find myself thinking about how in my job i can create something again.
