my life is filled with why's
why can't a job just fall into my lap?
admittedly, i'd probably hate to be working in falls church, especially now that i live in manassas, but i remember i had applied to work for a newspaper and they actually contacted me for an interview, but i ignored it bc i decided i didn't want to work in falls church. i sort of kick myself over that.
now its like jobs have gone extinct, or maybe just for people like me who don't have amazing resumes. & i'm really bad at getting comfortable and ignoring everything else, because a part of me is hesitant to get a new job. i think to myself, 'i know what i'm doing, i'm completely knowledgeable on all the going ons of this company, i know everyone, blah blah blah.' plus ms. pega (for non-tracking purposes, i added the a) is gone now, which is mostly a good thing.
i say mostly because now crazy people like (evil AE) can run free and do whatever their crazy perfectionist minds can think of. there's a website we (mostly codee) have been working on day & night (mostly day), and today i get an email from her saying "i must be the only one who checks this site. now please make all these edits that randomly came into my head but you should have seen coming." that stuff boils my blood. i mean, its my job to check stuff before sending it, so thats like a slap in the face.
so its stuff like that that makes me think, 'maybe there's something better out there.' is there a job where i can make how much i'm making, not hate the work, and get along with everyone? i see tons of "fun" jobs out there, but where there's fun, there's usually not money. i'm hanging by a string as it is, so taking a pay cut is not an option.
i'm going to go job searching, but i don't expect to find anything! because there's probably nothing there.
