I'm never satisfied. Ever.
I've spent my vacation applying to OTHER jobs.
I really dislike my job; I'm not going to lie.
I was never one for...kids. I'm amazed at the amount of patience I have. The thing is that I really care about education, but I don't CARE to be in the classroom with kids all day.
However, I have dental and medical and vision coverage. I also get a fat raise in September because I will have my masters. Totally not the right reason to stay where I am, but I've applied to that program at The New School in Public Administration. It might be a good idea for me to just stay put until I have another degree that will help me get a job somewhere else. Plus, every other job I've found that I'm qualified for starts...10k lower than where I am now.
I'm whining about things that make me sound selfish and bratty - especially in this economy. Seriously though, I've stuck it out for almost two years now and at this point I don't feel much differently than I did at this point in the school year last year. This year is different because I have more patience for everything and I don't let work affect my personal life. However, I cannot say that I like it at all. Not in the slightest. I literally walk into the school building thinking, "Ew. This is really the environment I wanted to work in?" Granted, that's because my school building is a run down piece of crap along with a staff that mirrors that appearance. I'm become a part of that appearance. I don't like it.
Here's another thing:
I'm a total brat. I can hear it as I type this. I think I'm one of those people who will NEVER be completely satisfied.
What is satisfying right now is that I have awesome friends and I'm healthy (or on the road to being healthy, I guess. 40 more pounds to lose!)
