ugh
so, I'm being laid of at work bc of budget cuts (in case some of you didn't know). anyway, I've been trying to find another job and today I was offered one at Napster. my awesome friend Brian works there and he pretty much got me the job. It seems like a cool place to work, but it only pays $9. now I know some of you are thinking that $9 is a lot money to be making. there was a time when I would kill to be making $9, but I'm pretty much 23 now and i have lots of job experience and skills, way more than i had at 18. I make more than ever now and what took me forever to realize was that I'm worth more money (thanks to several pep talks from my mom, hehe). I didn't think I was, but after working this UCF I realized otherwise. Being a receptionist isn't easy. There's loads of multitasking involved. I've learned a lot at that job about myself and what I can handle.
My mom offered to help me pay some bills if I agreed NOT to take the Napster job and keep looking for a better paying one that I won't resent as much. (I guess she got some fat check from a client and was in a particularly generous mood, lucky for me). I've decided to take her up on that offer, but I don't know if thats the right thing. I mean, who am I to turn down a perfectly good job when I'm bordering on desperate?
I think its more of a self value thing. there are very few things in this world I'm actually good at. air hockey, recognizing people from the back, and working a front desk in an office environment. this is not something I ever intend to do as a serious career, but right now I'll gladly take it. I think I'm good at it and if I find a job that will hire me then that sort of validates my opinion of myself, ya know? ughhhhh I just hope I'm making the right decision...
