I'm seriously thinking of quitting my job.

hell yeah! I almost quit my job b/c I didn't see anything else in the wings, but I recently applied for school and got on a schedule that doesn't put me in contact with the public as much. I work at the Met Museum of Art as a security guard and let me tell you - that job sucks. I was getting so burnt out on the visitors, stuff that's not even their fault. Like please, for gods' sakes, if you're going to ask me a question understand enough English to get my answer. wah!

it sucks that we have to do these boring jobs to pay our bills... but we are young and hopefully there are better things ahead of us. That's great you are going back to school... i contemplated that recently, but decided otherwise (i'm not the academic type, i realize.)

ah, whatever you want to do to get you somewhere you want to be. I just didn't have much in the way of marketable skills and knew I couldn't do the guarding thing much longer. It's a soul-suck.

how did you get the job? and what kind of job are going to get when you start studying again?

I was dating this girl who knew I needed one and the Met was hiring, so she told me about it. I'll stay here b/c my school sched (if I get accepted in time to get into this slot) is M-F 8:30a - 12:30p while work is W-Su 4:30p - 12:30a. So it's pretty much perfect for the time being. Plus, I can get $500 3x/yr from the union.

yeah, well, it'll be hard, but it's worth it!
