It rolled in like a fog. A general feeling of waa-waa*sad trumpet* I've been trying very hard not to think about menial my job can be. Mostly I find distraction among my co-workers. Still, it can creep up on me.
My co-worker Jess and I went out for coffee the other day (yeah!) and I found out that she is going back to school because our employer has a tuition reembursement program. While I'm utterly stoked for her... I'm.... not jealous really, envious? I dunno, it just really reawakened that old longing to go through schooling myself. I have wanted to be a massage therapist in the past. BUT if I swallow my pride and stay on with my current employer, they would provide assistance. This means I'd still have to work full-time, but the schooling for part time massage therapy would take YEARS. I don't think I can grit my teeth and suck ass for that long. Then I thought radio broadcasting would also be great, but they don't appear to offer a part time option :(
I can't really think of a career that I really, really want to do.
But I KNOW that I need to love my job.
My brain hurts. Jess is taking cultural anthropology and sociology. ????
I'm also trying to think of jobs that have some kind of decent pay and stability to them. Something that I can perhaps gets certification for in a shorter timeline 2-3 yrs.
My old roomate became a pharmacy technician...hmmmm?
Don't know. My brain feels trapped. This is why I try not to think about it. All of my "not thinking" makes me feel slow and dumb.
