So, Today......
Was complemented for doing a good job at work, It made me feel pretty good.
However work was pretty lame, and it went by so slow...
Im really tired of having to work 24/7, I am frustrated because my hours are always out of whack, I don't have time to do anything outside of my work routine, I saw Darby in her play a couple of weeks ago, but it feels like it was a month ago, I don't get to have any time to go out and do the things that i would like to do. I would like a day off at least once a week, and maybe 2 or three nights off a week, so that im not leaving for work at 7:30 am and getting back at 11:30pm.
This is my frustation, having to work, having to do the adult things that most of our age group haven't even experianced yet, and feeling like i am not going anywhere. As much as I hate to say it, it doesn't matter if you get your "dream" job, If you aren't making enough, it just isn't fun.
Im getting Paid 8 dollars an hour to work 65 + weeks, with 3 weeks without a single day off, Im not part time, im not full time, im just getting paid.
If I were making $10-12 an hour that would be an entirely different story, but because I am expendable, i have to work under the conditions that I am given.
That is why i can't just give it up, I can't go find another job because I can't afford to, and so I end up sacrificing a big part of my social life.
It's not a horrible job, it just doesn't have the greatest working conditions.
Yah. so thats my job, my job is my life....
im living to perform the job that has been given to me.
But i want to be able to spend time with the people I care about and I don't get to.
It makes me very upset.
A couple of weeks ago, I helped my mom out with a flee market that was put on by the community, and while i was there, a card was placed on our table at some point in the day, but it reads
I am responsible
for what i see
I choose the feelings
I experiance,
and i decide upon the goal
I would acheive,
And everything that seems to
happen to me
I ask for and receive
as I have asked
And it means a lot to me, in a number of different ways, but That card is true, and what sticks out to me, is that if you try your best, anything is possible, but everything you do, will effect your life greatly
*It's not a matter of when i work, but how much sleep can i get before having to go to work.
Goodnight.
