moronic??? i think it might be.
HOLD UP! so you're telling me that the iPhone is $450! I could use that money for so many other things! Like my share of a month's rent. Like round trip airfare to Vegas. Like gifts for the ones I love (holidays or just because).
That's a paycheck... with a chunk of change left over...
That's two weeks pay with some change left over...
At my rate, that's between 55 and 60 hours of work which is really just 7 8-hour shifts.
It's in times like this that I wish I made some easy money doing what I love!
Today, I was scrubbing grime off steps! And I thought "is this what I'm doing with my life? Is this where I should be? Does this job says, 'I'm a college graduate with a Bachelor's Degree. Not just a GED, not just an associate's degree, but a BACHELOR'S DEGREE! And I'm making less than I have in the past, working more hours.
I really love the money that can come in from being a Mary Kay consultant, but I slacked for a bit, became "inactive" and now have to place a $400 retail ($200 wholesale) order to reactivate my account! And all I can think is, if I place that order, I have to kick it into overdrive to get back in the game and make that money back and then a whole lot more! I want to go the social network way with it: I want to make vlogs using the products on myself and blasting them into the internet-sphere!
And yet, rather than being a barista or a beauty consultant, I just want to be a story teller.
I want to have a job that I love so that it isn't work. I want my "job" to my passion.
The other day I had such a grown up thought. I used to think I wanted a career before a relationship. Now I think, if I get that career, will the search a relationship fall to the wayside? But if I love my work, will I be hurt by that lack of commitment? Or can I balance both? Who says I can't have it all??!!
When I'm through on this planet, tell that person my story, and they'll see that you can have it all.
Phew! This was a big entry and I'm still not sure where I lie on the phone.
:/
Meh. I hate being a big girl.
