Hello everyone, and noone!
It has been far too long since I have attempted any journal recordings online or off. I miss taking the time to ponder the recent events and take time to reflect on any positive impact on someone else's life I have the privilege of being.
I feel bad that in my final postings on here I ended things off with something along the lines of, "I'M ASHAMED OF THE THINGS I DO, SO I SEE NO NEED TO POSTING THEM IN ANY MATTER OF DATA RECORDING MACHINES!" Paraphrased, of course.
So, on to LIFE!
I am currently working a job for an inventory company, which I realize sets my in with a group of interesting individuals. Not to downplay how great some of my co-workers are, it's just..... I work for an inventory company. I find myself being extremely indifferent on how I feel about working for this company. I would even say ambivalent, but I don't feel like looking up the proper definition to that word right now. As much as I am excited with this job, by enjoying all the travel, being in a new place everyday, room for moving up in the company (which I have done twice since only being employed from August 2010 to now) I am just as equally distraught with the frustration that comes along with this job, and seeping around every corner, nook and cranny of its inner workings. Lack of organization, leading to last minute, "Oh crap! We scheduled 20 people at the meet point, but only sent a single fifteen passenger van to pick them up!" moments....... A lot of the people I work with have either spent some time in jail, or are well on their way. They don't have a single care of how their actions may affect others, but this is not exactly a deliberate act on their part.
They may be delinquent, but they are my co-workers and I respect them as such. I actually don't carry any ill-will towards them, and I didn't not say all I have up until now to make it seem as I look down on any of them. I would never make such an effort as to put myself on a pedestal, as I am no model of perfection.
So, all vague descriptions and failed analogies aside I will put this simply: As much as I hate my job, I Love it. It is probably one of the worst paying jobs I have ever had, but it is the first job that I have ever worked so hard to achieve as much as I have.
I am usually gone for work a bulk of the week, normally Monday mornings through Thursday evenings. Sometimes when the work week is bigger we will leave early Sunday and not come back until Friday afternoon. I have recently completed training for a new position with this company, which sends me into the stores we inventory (mainly Wal-marts) a day ahead of the rest of my crew. I spend anywhere from 7-12 hours, depending on the size of the store, tagging four to eight foot sections of the product for every item they carry. I go in alone, and get to set my own schedule as to when I come in to perform this, and even when I get to take my breaks and such.
I will leave a lot of the negative stuff I dislike about this job alone for now. I have come to terms with a lot of it, but I still find it interesting that it takes a job such as this to intrigue me.
Of the ways it has affecting me and my relationship with my family (being my girlfriend, her son and my son) it has actually been tremendous. Me and my Love actually had a falling out for a while, and it seemed like there would be no patching things up between the two of us. Then I started working for this company. Being gone for so long and as often as I was, I realized that I really and truly missed this woman, and would be terribly heart-broken if I were to not of her in my life at all. So, we ended up getting back together. This job has saved my relationship. Another point for the Pro side.
I've briefly touched on my romance life, but I will fully delve into that with a later post. Also more to eventually come, stuff on the kiddos (my boy just turned four!) and I make my list of things I would like to achieve in the next five years.
Well all, thank you for following all this if you have. I have been given a lot of support over the years, and know a lot of it has been behind the scenes.
