Happy Friday the 13th
Well, I haven't posted anything here for quite awhile. I got 'off' Livejournal...I was doing this thing where I was trying to write a little every morning, a cross between stream-of-consciousness whatever comes to mind and journal type stuff, and that was absorbing all my desire to write.
Not much has changed, though, so it's not like there's anything to get caught up on. Still workin for the same company as a security guard, but I'm at a different site now. I work mondays to fridays, 1:30 to 8:30, so the pros are obviously that I get all my weekends off and I almost work a normal day. I also have alot less responsibility. Most days, I answer the phone a couple times, do some paperwork, and spend the rest of my time reading, writing or playing 3D space cadet pinball. The cons are that it's only 7 hours a day, 35 hours a week, and also forty cents less per hour, which means I'm making about two hundred bucks less a month than I was.
They love me there, naturally. They've been dealing with temporary fill-in guards for months because no one will take the position permenantly. They are thrilled to have a semi-competent, intelligent guard there potentially full time (I haven't promised them I'm sticking around long-term yet). But I tell you, the charm of being adored by superiors at jobs vastly below my ability and ambition has worn off. It's boring there. And I want more money.
Life is pretty boring in general right now. I'm bored with everything, especially myself.
I can't figure out how to get out of this. It doesn't seem like it should be so hard...am I missing something obvious, or have I really dug myself such a deep hole???
