I <3 Work? NOT!
Okay...this is my THIRD attempt to bust out a presentation for a bunch of 8th-11th graders. I'm supposed to talk about my job. This presentation is Saturday. I still have no clue on what I'm doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm stuck because I want it to sound fun and interesting. I don't want to be standing there fore 40 minutes looking like an ass. I'm supposed to come up with an activity...which is difficult to do w/my job. It'd be awesome if I could demonstrate a concrete test, but that aint happening! So what do i do? Have them do some math problems? Maybe teach them how to use a scale (hell sometimess I don't even know how to use one!!!!) That would be a cool idea but 1. I have like 2 scales and 2. there are about 30 people that will be there.
So today I had an epiphany: MAYBE I'm having such a difficult time with this presentation because I DON'T LIKE MY JOB! There. I said it. I think deep down I don't. I had a meeting with some higher up people. We were supposed to talk about my futures with WSDOT. And I was thinking...for an engineering major there are only a few levels or promotion/work. None of them seem fun. After the E2 position it's more like you're running the office rather than doing design. I don't want to be an E2 for forever! So perhaps I need to get the best experience I can and go to the private sector. We'll see. I want to stay at WSDOT for 5 years if I can. :-/
