Waiting...
I need a new job. NEED. I am only working 2 effing days this week. WTF is that supposed to be? At first I was excited because it's time off to do whatever I want. But it finally sunk in that I'm only getting PAID for 2 days this week. This is ridiculous. I know it's going to pick up as the holidays approach, but it's the other extreme. I'm going to be working my ass off, dealing with shithead customers, and slowly going insane. Now that's the holiday spirit, right?
I'm very thankful to have this job, even though I'm thoroughly tired of it. I know that there are so many people out there who would do anything to have my job, and to have money coming in. That is always in the back of my mind, and I try hard to not let myself get complacent like this. On the other hand, I worked my ass off to get my degree, and I'd like for that piece of paper to work hard for ME for once.
Although money is an important factor in a job hunt, I do have things on my list that are just as important, if not more so.
a. No retail. I'm done...really.
b. I want a career that is fulfilling. I want to know that what I'm doing means something, rather than lining the pockets of the corporate types.
c. There has to be room to advance. One of the problems with my current job is that I'm as high up the ladder as I can be.
d. I'd like to be at a place that appreciates creativity. I've come up with so many ideas in my current job, but they all get rejected/reversed before long. That not only deflates my ego, but it makes me never want to open my mouth ever again.
I know that's a lot of conditions, but they're not all set in stone. Maybe I'm just being naive, but I don't think that's TOO much to ask. Maybe it is though, because I haven't found anything like that yet.
