7 days a week
Been working 7 days a week for almost 2 months now and im getting tired of it. Im working 36 hours a week (and not fun hours but OMG STUPID PEOPLE EVERY SINGLE SECOND hours) but because its between 2 separate positions I dont qualify for benefits/full time. I really like the people I work with but I hate the people involved with our services. I hate these crappy mothers and fathers trying to feed me the same bullshit over and over again. It worked for the first 2 weeks I was there but im at the point now were they start to feed me a bullshit line and I interupt them (even if I have to talk over them) and say "I dont get paid to listen to your problems" or "That doesnt matter at this momment" or "your LAST MINUTE schedualing emergency is not our emergency" and my personal favorite "Sir/Ma'am I dont give a damn!". My bosses LOVE it when I say these thing when they are around because they want to say it too. The difference is I can get away with it because my job IS to be a hard ass.
There is some slight satisfaction I get from this but its not enough to satisfy me as a carrer. Im not really helping people get any better im just dealing with them long enough for the courts to realize they are not fit parents and finalize custody of children. Nobody comes out of my work any better they when they started. Or if they do its after alot of painfully times. I want to work somewhere I can help people before they start to get stuck in bad life choices and habits. So I have decided to get my Master's in educational couceling. I be doing it through the NAU distance learning progam which will let me take NAU classes here in Tucson. Im registering for the Spring 2008 semester but I need to take the GRE ( I forget what it stands for at this momment, I have it write down with the other paper work to register for classes). I know ive said I would do this before but this time I mean it because I realize what kind of work ill be stuck doing if I dont.
I want a wife (an intelegent, kind, hard working and while im at it hot one) and children that I know will have a good mother and father and ill be able to raise properly and give a good chance at life. I can't do this on a social workers wage though. Without money I cant attract the right woman and therefore my children wont have the quality mother and financial support I want to give them. Getting my masters with definetly help me accomplish this but I cant help feeling kinda sad that I wont even be in stable living conditions (sutable for marrying someone and raising a family) until im in my thirties. This of course ignoring my fundamental problem of being horrible at meeting people and starting relationships.
Now that I look back I think this whole post is just me bitching about work. I think I read into things way too much.
P.S. Now that ive figured out my paid check for this coming sunday I have some spending money so if anyone comes across the box set of "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd GIG" please tell me where you found it. I promise to lend it to whoever helps me out (Ill even watch it with you over at your house).
