I've had enough

Enough of this shit. I'm going out there and I'm finding myself a job I like, even if I have to take a pay cut and borrow money.

Do you know what I've been doing for the past few days? Putting labels on envelopes! That's right: I'm a monkey.

You won't hear me write about work anymore. It's dull even for myself, so I can imagine how fascinating it must be for you.

Wish me luck, or something.

g'luck :-) Stuffing envelopes stinks big donkey balls covered in the lard from 10 years of deep-fat frying.

I totally can relate to that. it's funny cos I never like my job as well, but I've been talking about it almost everyday. I don't know. it's a mixture of love/hate I guess. good luck on the job hunt though.

I just want to be interested! I don't mind if they make me do shit tasks, as long as I feel that it's for something I believe in or care for...

aww... thanks! I had made two other more but Kevin said I looked tooooo dramatic in them. So I opted for this one (so most of my lj friends can finally see what I look like and stop spreading rumours that I don't exist.)

:P

[GOTH] You can't look TOOOOO dramatic! [/GOTH]

As for the job thing, best of luck! Believe me, if you'd spoken to me six months ago and told me about the job I'd be doing now, I'd've thought you were nuts. I seemed stuck in an absolutely inescapable black hole, my entire career history looked like one mistake and the future was equally black (as I said, you can't be TOOO dramatic! ;))... but things can change! Trust me. :) Go for it!

Cheers! Last night I sat down and cut out tons of ads from the Saturday Guardian. And I'm using spare moments at work to search too... I'm feeling positive about this. ;)

But yes, extreme luck to you- I know how it is.
Nobody likes to be taken for granted & Ab00sed. well. not Abused at work anyway ;P

I'm seriously thinking about what we talked recently in terms of work... i'm going to try for that.

:)

thanks!

I hear ya. I think the secret is to perhaps take a pay cut, but do something that will teach you new skills and not give you the Office-suicide-thoughts. I was even looking at working as a gardner. Just something different, outdoorzy. I'm tired of paper shuffling.

So... I might buy a tv today or tomorrow. I miss my *baby*!
