Asking myself, why?

I have often wondered why I keep this job. My boss is a sexist jerk, and the day to day rhythm of the job ranges from tedious and boring this time of year to completely crazy and hectic during the holidays. I particularly dislike the crazy and hectic part.
One of my favorite co-workers told me this weekend that he is leaving in January for a more challenging job. I have seen lots of people I like come and go here, usually on to bigger and better things. Whenever that happens I, once again, ask myself why I am still here.
Part of the reason is that I don't care one way or the other whether my job is challenging. Also I am not motivated by money. The most important thing in the world to me is spending time with the people I love. I get my important challenges at home through creative projects and relationships. As long as a job keeps me fed and healthy, I don't seem to need more than that from my vocation. I have learned a lot here about wine, and I've enjoyed that. There is also a fair amount of flexibility of schedule, and I like that. If my boss becomes unbearable (and that wouldn't take a huge step for him) then I will move on. But as long as the day to day is bearable, I guess I'll stay here. But ask me again around Christmas.
