Killing time at work
So here I am sitting at work. Bored. As is par for the course, I guess. But in a way, it's nice to not have anything to do right now. Especially because I am NOT feeling well. Ugh. I was ok last night, but I woke up this morning and just felt sick to my stomach. I've been up for over 5 hours now, and it hasn't gone away. And now I am start to feel dizzy and lightheaded. It's kind of unnerving. I'd go home, and I know my boss would be okay letting me go, but I desperately need the money. And unfortunately, the "desperately" statement is not an exageration. Ahh the joys of being a graduate student!
So what's new? Uhh, the Superbowl was last night. Good game, but I was disappointed in the outcome. I wanted the Cards to come away with the win. Oh well. The rest of my weekend was pretty good though. I fell asleep at 5:30 Friday evening, woke up at 8 to eat dinner and watch some TV, then I went back to bed at 10 and slept until 9:30 the next morning. It was pure awesomeness! Training this past week went pretty well too. It was hard but good. That's probably why I was so damn exhausted by Friday! I watched Atonement and like 3/4 of The Singing Detective. Atonement was good, I guess, but it's not a movie I think I'd ever watch again. As for The Singing Detective, strange, haha, but Robert's performance has been amazing. And what is it about the classy, three piece pinstripe suit and hat that is so freaking sexy?!?! Oh! And Mel Gibson as the doc?! Such a different role for him!
I had a little rant I was going to bust out with, but I'm not feeling up to it at the moment. I think I'm just going to wrap this up and put my head down on my desk. Will check back in later when I am hopefully feeling better!
I do want to pose this question though before I go. I've been thinking a lot about jobs (like real careers, not gay $7.50/hr student jobs), and I know that I want to have a job I truly enjoy, but I also want to make a decent living. I'd love it if I could love my career and make bank too. However, with the current economy and job market, I'm starting to think I would sacrifice the enjoyment for the money. At least for the time being anyway. What about everyone else? As things are now, would you work a job you hated if it paid you more? Or would you stick with a job you genuinely loved that paid less?
